Surely you’ve seen the typical meme on social media that says you’re old, but how old? Well, it might as well be accompanied by a picture of a girl wearing skinny jeans, because these were out of fashion years ago. In fact, on TikTok a funny controversy was generated over these pants: millennials defended them and centennials said they were out of fashion. And it’s not to agree with the wonderful Gen Z, but it’s true that, in recent seasons, baggy jeans have banned tight pants. Without knowing how this happened, our wardrobe is full of wider models born in the 90s.
This has its logic, as in recent seasons the ‘comfy’ style has prevailed over everything (increased by the 2020 lockdown), so we’ve dropped all the tight clothes that made us uncomfortable. But, as you know, it all comes back. And skinny jeans came back into our lives in 2022. Surely Kate Moss, faithful to this type of pants, celebrates as much as we do.
From the street style of international fashion weeks to our favorite brands like Zara, skinny jeans are everywhere. This does not mean that wide models are no longer used, quite the opposite. Now you can wear your favorite skinny jeans again without being called old-fashioned. Of course, this will depend a lot on how you combine them. If you have questions about how to combine them, we have some ideas that will help you. We’ve selected 15 ideal outfits that range from a sporty style with sneakers to a more elegant vibe with heels. Get inspired to wear them on any occasion.
