These once-iconic jeans are now a fashion no-go
Ten years ago, skinny jeans were the dream of every fashionista. Their tight cut made the waist thinner, the hips more expressive, and the legs endless. You could wear them on a date, to the office, or even to a party — they went with literally everything. Sneakers, stilettos, a voluminous sweater, or a silk shirt — skinny jeans were truly a "magic wand" in the wardrobe. But fashion does not stand still. What seemed ideal yesterday, today more and more often causes smiles.
Novyny.LIVE will tell you more about these pants.
Why do we love skinny jeans so much?
They were simple, comfortable, and versatile. They could emphasize the figure, even if it was far from model standards. And skinnies had their own atmosphere: in them, everyone felt confident and a little daring even on an ordinary day. In the 2000s, this style became a symbol of freedom, style, and youth rebellion. It was worn by everyone — from students to world stars.
However, the effect of "slender legs" had to be paid for. Doctors warned that jeans that were too tight could hinder blood circulation, pinch nerves, and even provoke back pain. There are known cases when people had to literally cut their pants open due to severe swelling. Add to this the risks to intimate health, and it becomes clear why young people began to refuse them. Especially since there are many comfortable alternatives on the market.
Why did young people abandon skinny jeans?
New generations choose freedom of movement and naturalness. It is important for them that clothes do not interfere with life: sitting on the floor at a concert, dancing until the morning, or just walking around the city without feeling cramped. Instead of skinny jeans, they wear mom jeans, boyfriends, slouchy or wide models.
Will skinnies come back?
Fashion is cyclical. Designers are already trying to rethink this style: making it from thicker denim, adding a high waist, and combining it with chunky shoes or oversized tops.
