Denim – we can say is the most hard-working item our closet, no matter the style. It’s at the top of the wardrobe staple food chain. Easy to pair with tops, spring jackets, and any other clothing in our wardrobe.
Skinny jeans has always been an all time favorite denim – a fail-safe for many. But if we’re being honest, we were raised in the era of skinny jeans and wore every possible iteration of them. They were literally our go to jeans and sadly after many years of ridding high, skinny jeans are out – at least according to Gen Z. If you’re an avid follower of gen-Z trends, you’d already know that earlier this year, the TikTok contemporizes seemed to have a disdain for our dearly beloved fitted denim and voted out the denim – declaring them “over”.
Taking a cue from Gen Z it’s time to try out a few skinny jeans alternatives.
