Fashion So Long Skinny?
Posted by Brett Glass on Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 12:02 PM
I've been a skinny jean fan for a while--since as far back as 2005! It's been soooo long I'm getting kind of bored. Plus I think it's about time for the fashion pendulum swing back to bootcut (Prada showed some flared trousers this season and Prada's like the NOAA for fashion).
I'm not talking about the bootcut jeans of yore, which were ass-crack low and too wide in the leg. The nouveau bootcut has a slimmer (but not tight) thigh, and a higher waist. Great for athletic guys (read: guys who have more muscle than a 12-year old girl).
They're not the easiest jeans to find. Local 35 is testing a style from Nudie Jeans. Here they are on Local 35 owner Justin Machus:
Cute, right?
