This is supposed to be a fun thread. If you have nothing to contribute, please ignore.
At least the women’s jeans of today are very form fitting and quite pleasing!
I got on a kick of nostalgic tv shows and bought Season 2 of Beverly Hills 90210. They were wearing jeans that were so high-waisted that I swear those jeans stopped just below the bra-line!
And I know it’s the fashion, but I hate the skinny jeans trend!
And can conceal a full-size .45 under all that baggy denim.
At least they’re not scratched up and torn on purpose. I miss the old days when a new pair of jeans was dark blue and very stiff. (I also miss the days when I looked pretty good in them.)
In the eighties I used to have to lie down on my bed to zip my Jordache jeans. And standing I had a concave tummy back then, boy they looked good with heels
I think jeans peaked in the mid 2000s. They had all the best qualities at once: low waist, form fitting, and flared at the ankle.
The ‘70s had it right except for the high waist.
The ‘80s were pretty bad with high waist and tapered leg, but at least they were form fitting.
The ‘90s were the nadir with high waist, tapered leg, and baggy fit. During this period jeans did everything wrong.
Then all the sudden in the 2000s it’s like the sun came out and the dark clouds of bad jeans receded, leaving us to frolick in the sunny uplands of attractive jeandom.
The problem now is the tapered legs, and I fear high waists may be on the horizon...
I don’t remember those, but I’m embarrassed to admit having purchased two acid wash jackets, just as the fad was ending. I still have them. I’m even too embarrassed to use them for yard work.
A thankfully short-lived fad. Used to call those huge pants “ham hiders” because you could hide a ham in them.
