Skinny jeans are making a comeback. The “Lad Bible” reports that Gen Z is bringing back the pants that were once considered “uncool”. Fashion experts and stars are getting involved in the new trend and presenting the controversial item of clothing in current collections and snapshots. But the fashion revival is dividing opinions.
From Balenciaga to Bella Hadid: return of skinny jeans
According to the Lad Bible, well-known designers and brands such as Miu Miu, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen are incorporating the jeans into their fall/winter collections. Luke Raymond, senior menswear editor at Farfetch, tells GQ: “It's rare to see skinny jeans in the wild, which means brands and influential dressers will inevitably bring them back.”
Stars like Robert Pattinson and Bella Hadid are also contributing to the fashion comeback of skinny jeans, according to the “Lad Bible”. According to the online magazine, the revival of the unruly item of clothing is an example of the 20-year fashion trend cycle.
In 2023, Gen Z demanded the banishment of trousers
It wasn't until 2023 that Generation Z was at war with tight pants. On TikTok, users are calling for the skin-tight pants to be thrown away. The skinny jeans, which are already a shelf-warmer, should be burned or cut up. Thousands joined the trend and donated to the skinny jeans in favor of yoga pants.
