skinny jeans definitely died among the "fashion aware" crowd but for the general population that isn't so fashion focused, skinny jeans or rather slim fit jeans are a staple that's going to remain in peoples wardrobes forever
shut up skinny jeans died 4 explore page lurking trend hopping oldheadz trying 2 keep up with the youngins u out here sayin people who wear skinny jeans dont put thought in2 it if u not really tapped in with the up n coming just say that😭 dont ever say we not aware cuz u the 1 sounding mad unaware that boy drew like 35 no hairline ass boy dresslike everybody else ass like a fukkin sartorial lumberjack n u think he fashion aware 😭
Slim jeans are not going to be in people's wardrobes forever. Just like when skinny jeans became a hit in youth culture circa 2009 (in NYC), it will take awhile for the mainstream to adopt it and leave behind their baggy jeans.
Football (soccer) kits have always been fashionable in countries where it is the predominant sport. I think the reason it appears as if it’s just a recent thing is due to the recent increase in popularity of soccer in America. Myself and many people I know have been wearing football kits as part of our outfits long before I heard the term “bloke core”
I think the fashion forward people are rarely the ones following trends. You see this a lot with the fashionable older people in NY, who seem to have a bit more fun and creativity with their outfits than the kids at places like FIT, who seem a bit terrified to wear something that's not in season.
As a Gen X stylish older New Yorker, I understand what you mean in this message. Now this is not a contradiction, more of an add on to clarify. I’ll quote one of my favorite influencers Brown Girl Chee “Fashion & Style are two different things”. Style is embedded in one’s dna it seems, fashion follows a forecast and determines the looks of the next season.
I just saw a depressing video from fashion students . They had horrible fashion sense. I was bored and shocked . They think by saying "I thrifted this" its an immediate stamp of approval🤨 their fit is giving homeless /bag lady/90s goth reject.
On the skinny jeans discussion: if a product is still being purchased by a consumer, then the product still has a base to sell to. So if people, fashion conscious or otherwise, are still buying skinny jeans (no matter if it's trending or not), then skinny jeans never died. Acknowledgment of that does not detract from the fact that baggier jeans has taken off as a trend. But trends ebb and flow. Skinnier jeans have been consistent since jeans were created. They just are not trendy, and that's okay. I think this wave of quick consumer content has really skewed style into a "this style means these clothes" kind of approach rather than the personal portion of what makes style unique. I hope that this hyperconsumerism gets people to think "whoa, this shit is too much" and focus on what they enjoy rather than the next new hot shit.
Stretch skinny jeans are very flattering on women and Midwest women will absolutely NEVER give them up. No to crazy huge baggy jeans unless its balanced tastefully. .
i agree with the last take about skinny jeans not really dying. while yes a lot more fashion oriented people are wearing wider pants, there’s still a lot of people who wear skinny jeans. as someone who works at a grocery in the middle of my city, i see a lot of different people on a daily basis. with a wide variety of people comes a wide variety of different kinds of pants and i can say that a lot more people than you might expect still wear skinny jeans. skinny jeans still work well on certain body types and for some people are still the most comfortable style of pants they wear. the average person is going to wear the clothes that make them feel the most comfortable and make them look the best.
That was me, this is exactly the angle i was coming from. On top of that, they are pretty popular with plus size individuals because of how stretchy they tend to be. I still see them everywhere i go. I do agree with drew that most of those people definitely aren't being intentional with their decisions, so he's right from that angle. Nonetheless, i see women in my family who do enjoy clothes but definitely do not engage with fashion spaces online still wearing them in thoughtfully curated outfits. Even i personally still prefer skinny jeans over wide fit jeans because they just flatter me better because the latter makes me look really short.
I think the caveat is that skinny jeans will come back in a way that is still more fashion forward than what you see "normal" people wearing today. Those outfits will still look dated even if they are technically wearing skinny jeans. And people who have settled into wider fits today will also start to look dated as well.
I hope Kanye gets therapy, but we need to stop giving him attention. He keeps going on horrible, racist rants, and we're going to give him credit for apologizing for one of them? Naw.
I disagree with the skinny jean prediction. The people saying this are treating the baggy bottoms trend like it came out of nowhere, but there was a lead up. Relaxed top silhouettes came into the picture, oversized tees, hoodies, jackets, etc. When this happened people were still very much wearing joggers & skinny jeans. What drove the baggy bottoms wave & started to make it “saturated” outside of the fashion community was comfort, the same thing that drove relaxed top silhouettes. Going back to wearing a fitted silhouette after being comfy a n d fashionable for years now? I don’t see it happening.
skinny jeans never died, they just were no longer on trend, and ppl wanted to started moving away from them during the dad shoe trend. they're still very stylish and fashionable. they obviously aren't still at 2015 fear of god level. I think bootcuts/flares are a good indication that some ppl are moving back to slimmer pants. That being said, i think for many fashion ppl, skinny jeans are reserved for boots and slim silhouettes.
People needs to class up their wardrobes and stop buying disposable crap. Everyone dresses like shit these days. It’s just sweatpants on sweatpants on sweatpants.
I feel a point you’re missing abt the sports aesthetics is that the World Cup ended out 2022 so ppl got into soccer kits for ‘23 and the Olympics is coming in 2024. Most of fashion is inspired by the things going on around us. Major events like the Olympics and the X Games will play a factor esp internationally. I can see biker jerseys making a breakthrough for that reason
I REALLY love your videos. But I rlly wish you did a bit more critical analysis on the things you talk about. They encompass so many nuances and intricacies that I feel you don’t touch on. And everything you talk about is so relevant and interesting, I just wish you’d get more into the nitty gritty than surface level analysis. I watch every video tho. Love this channel :D
I think the cycling jerseys will be quite unpopular since not a lot of fashion-interested people (from my knowledge) really appreciate or go cycling. Although I could definitely see them in the summer with some skinnier pants.🤔 Also love your content, it helps me a lot to find my personal style and be more open towards clothes. 444
I agree it would be super cool to see them as the designs on some are really unique and even as someone who is not into cycling I can appreciate the community and meaning behind it
The "small shirt big pants" aesthetic was quite trendy thiw year and i do see it coming back, and cycling jerseys could fit insidevthat aesthetic But if ppl dont see the potential of the jerseys they wont become trendy
Doesn't make sense to me. People who aren't interested in Basketball wear basketball sneakers, people who aren't into outdoors activity wear gorpcore and so on
I don’t think skinny jeans could ever be offensive. And I still don’t get the performative hate. It’s a cut of denim. Unless it’s super exaggerated, it’s never going to be that ugly.
2024: - Military core will be on the rise. - Maximalism & Doom Spending on clothing/accessories. - Photo dumps may die down. IG users will take time to make their feeds look aesthetically pleasing through fashion. ++ I’m also quite curious about the FOMO that may arise amongst Gen Z & Gen Alpha due to overconsumption of content - Especially now that fashion is mainstream and inclusive.
I’d say that football shirts have been popular for a long time just not in America. Over here in Europe, particularly in France, I’ve seen them a lot and when I travelled through Morocco they were very popular too. I live in England and people have always worn football tops and they’ll continue to do so - it’s our culture
lmao i love fun hats, like from a kid who loved clubpenguin, and to dress myself in online games. I NEED a fish hat. I will wear that unironically, as well as a crochet brain hat
Here's my hot-ish take for 2024: Earlier this year I was seeing a lot of the skirts over pants trend and had this kind of random thought. What is one were to style shorts over pants and I don't mean the leggings and sporty shorts -kind but dare I say in a more fashionable way. I kind of just pushed the thought away though as I couldn't really find anyone doing it. But just recenty (I think in the last month) I've actually come across this. Okay it has literally been like two people but I'm excited to see if more people will do it. Definitely expecting it in a rather baggy sihouette but we'll see...
It reminds me of how i really wanted to buy a pair of convertible pants (you unzip the legs ro get shorts) and that's kind of a less experimental to get that silhouette
I just recently started watching your videos, and i only started my fashion journey during the pandemic but i really appreciate your content, and how thoughtful and considerate you are of other opinions and experiences. Happy new year!
Raw Denim could definitely return to mainstream. Last time around even with just the 501 STF craze it was fun to watch everyone document their wear in. That aspect paired with social media today seems like it could definitely come back around
You have become one of my fav fashion videos. I am a 76 year old woman who loves fashion. F I have never been so conscious of how my pants fit since I've watched your videos. Lol Thank you for the male perspective. Btw.. where I live in the Bronx the ladies 😅😊ies are still wearing skinny jeans😊. I think style does depend on where you live also.
I don't understand this football jersey topic. Other than America football jerseys have been a staple in fashion going back to the 80s/90s. It's only new to us Yanks.
2010s fashion was literally the worst fashion period in all of human history (and YES that includes early Byzantium fits as well. 2010s fashion is still worse)
I agree. Skinny jeans never left. But I dont think they will take over again, maybe as a mikro trend (which I still think will be a thing in 2024). Love your videos!
As a person who dressing with intent and practicality I would have to say your wrong. I think the demographic of folks who are quite a bit older jean variations never excluded skinny jeans. We are less trend prone and dress more appropriately for not only our body shape but also for our lifestyle. I think people tend to only live in their bubble and forget there are people who are into fashion in all age demographics.
I think that skinny jeans are IT for a lot of communities that are actually quite fashion-forward. As you've said, context matters. Skinny jeans are not for me personally, but a friend of mine is a huge alt music fan, goes to shows, etc etc. Skinny jeans are a statement to them as a part of belonging to that community and messing with gender at the same time, so there is undoubtedly intentionality there. What I think would be more fitting is that tiktok doesn't always show how people who care about their individual fashion but not fashion as a larger conversation dress.
I bought baggy jeans and never wore them. They make me look huge. My best asset is the ratio between my hips/thighs and chest. I will wear flares or bells but the butt and thigh has to be fitted. Bring back skinny’s I’m down💯
It feels contradictory to talk about putting an emphasis on personal style, and then talk about being ignorant to fashion if you're still wearing skinny jeans. I think there are a lot of subcultures that never let go of skinny jeans, but I'm punk and will probably wear skinny jeans forever. I kind of don't care if that dates me as a millennial, but part of my self expression through fashion is the music I listen to
Stacked skinny jeans going back in trend? Not sure if I’d like it, though looking back to 2015-2017, those were fun times for fashion. I just don’t think I’m ready to go back to it…not just yet hahahaha!
the two diff ppl that wear skinny jeans nowadays are the niche super fashionista ppl who are tbh usually skinny already so the silhouette really fits them and the other people are the blokes who just havent bought a new pair of pants or cared to change their style in the past 5 years 😂
#pvv 🤜🏾🤜🏾 merry christmas and happy new year! its actually crazy tho cause its my bday on the 31st of december hahaha so literally new year new me ;P but love your vids, makes me feel like im apart of a community with people who share similar tastes.
i think raw denim was already pretty mainstream, like evisu and japanese brand denim, that was really popular in 2022-23, but evisu seems like it is slowly fading out
I mean football gear has been embedded in the fashion world for ages with the old football shoes like Gazelles and German army trainers etc which have heritage in football and football culture. The jerseys are just a more literal piece of football gear/culture that has emerged.
Being the 938th comment about skinny jeans rsrs - As a Brazilian from South region (completly away from fashion trend cities) I tend to observe that the skinny jeans never died among millenials and older generations because we've being programmed our whole life that this and the slim cut are the right Path. Fortunatly the GenZ is ripping this thought apart as confort is now something non-negotiable on fashion, but we still have this "older" portion of the market share that denies wider garments.
i hope that more people turn to a dutch sensibility in their 2024 style - it feels like they’re already years ahead. the scene over there is full of layering, oversized topcoats, skirts and vests that just look incredible and, at the same time, understated.
God tier take on demin. There's sumn about a good pair of quality denim jeans and a wool top that makes me feel so gooddd. Those two textures are like honey n butter.
The only sport I see having any meaningful impact in fashion this year might be golf. Tiger is leaving Nike and wherever he goes to next will be very popular. Otherwise, we’ll probably see soccer having a big comeback during the world cup
Dude the mainstream is hooked on shein theree no way you can take them out of the loop and make them care about quality! Theyre gonna wince when they see a pair of pants thats over $20
I am really looking into buying a dumbphone to reduce my screentime. I know I sound really old but it could become a trend to own a second phone not only for the flex but, how I said, to reduce our screentime and to bring back keyboard phones in general.
Cycling wear is definitely dominating, with longer, almost capri length bike shorts becoming huge. The real hot take may be the clash of upscale cycling and vintage motorcycle fashion coming together to create very unique silhouettes and functionality with lots of room for individual expression.
I love the take on silhouettes, I’ve never liked baggy pants. I like slim chinos and slim silhouette. I wear baggy pants more cause I skate but the change in shape isn’t my fav
I used to wear a ton of skinny jeans but I actually fucked with the wide jean trend because I have big ass quads and thighs and I always looked like I was choking my lower half when I rocked skinnies as a guy. It was nice to actually buy pants that fit well on me in general this year lol.
You have to understand that it wasn't just about skinny jeans when they became popular in the mid to late 2000s, it was the whole aesthetic catapulted into the spotlight mainly by Hedi Slimane at Dior Homme, and this filtered down to the magazines at the time and the promotion of indie bands. Indie music was huge at this point - Kasabian, Jet, the Rapture, Interpol, the Strokes etc etc. Even Justin Timberlake's music vids at this time, sexy back for example featured a slim fitting Dior suit, and the subsequent videos were all indie fashion inspired. Skinny black ties for an office job, with tight fitting pants and a waistcoat were commonplace in 2007. My point is that at this moment in time, there is none of that wider cultural movement stemming from indie based music. If anything, as has done for many years now, RnB and dance music dominates. Unless indie music widely comes back, neither will the ultra slim shilloette.
I really hope a lot more people slow down when it comes to fast fashion. The industry is one of the highest contributors to climate change. I try not to buy cheap import clothes as much as I can, instead opting for used clothes or new ethically made clothes. I donate as much of my old clothes as I can, and I've picked up some great stuff at the thrift store. I've also found some great companies who make their clothes here in Canada, so I can support the local economy. I don't really care about fashion though, I'd probably fall into the unintentional category. I still try to find things I like and that look good on me, but I have zero knowledge of trends. I think skinny jeans are sick.
Absolutely not. I dress with intentionality every day😂 It's just how I was brought up, clothes and how it makes me feel and what I want them to say as an extension of me was something i learned from those around me. You can dictate trends, but not style or what is fashionable or fashion forward. Trends fall, stylish and fashionable people never wane they look good in what makes them look good and feel good. It's not a trend, but they were still in shops and people were still wearing them from korea to england and everywhere between. I think youre right about location though.
No one cares about what Kanye says, people will still wear whatever Kanye puts out! Trust people are followers and wannabes. Also a lot of the trends nowadays come from the inner streets of New York. Tims, baggy clothes, etc are New York Street Culture birthed in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem, Queens and S.I.... Most of the kids with money getting props for being fashion savvy are stealing their looks from the Inner City. We have to give the Inner Streets it's credit once and for all!
The last take was interesting. You spoke about 2 groups, people dressing intentionally and being more fashion forward and then people dressing for functionality. But I think there are plenty of people who dress intentionally and care about fashion without being "fashion forward" (trend driven) and so they're not so heavily dictated by what's in and what's out. Skinny jeans aren't as popular as they used to be but they still make up a high percentage of what retailers have available for sale so they can't be that unpopular. Skinny jeans aren't trendy but people are still wearing them.
Skinny jeans died in the majority of America but are still fashion staples in NYC, Atlanta, and LA, arguably the most fashionable cities in the USA. While the vast majority of the population has strayed away from skinny jeans, how does that explain the more recent (or continued) success of Amiri or Purple Brand? Underground communities such as NY Drillers have kept skinny jeans alive and even as a source of envy considering the fashionability and the accompanying price tag.
I agree skinny jeans are trash. But we need to be specific on the type of skinny Jean. Only the super tight skinny jeans are trash. Regular skinny, slim taper, those are fire and I will fight you to the end of the earth to prove it. For example all the major Jean companies still make skinny and slim and taper fits. If you think those cuts are out then o boy are you living under a rock. First of all raw denim fades look waaaaay better in skinny’s. Not super tight skinny’s, just regular skinny’s. The type that are only a lil slimmer than Levi’s 501.
Skinny jeans didn't die necessarily. There is just more variety. It's kinda like, we started with Iron Man and eventually got the Avengers and even Gaurdians of the Galaxy, right? But, I haven't seen the End Game snap from skinny jeans quite yet. Maybe online. But, not real world.
Skinny jeans happened when jeans were able to add stretch to them but skill look and feel like quality jeans, and simultaneously people wanted a fitted silhouette. They consequently never went completely out of fashion For many people because of their practicality- especially among those who dress for function: who say walk a lot or bike a lot. Baggy pants get soaking wet when walking in weather and catch on your bike chain and get torn (and snugging them down is not cool-looking). And the most lasting fashion trends always have a core element of practicality to them. A great comfortable sneaker. A down puffer. A shirtdress. A pea coat.
I think it is always funny, when sports gear enters mainstream fashion. I’m playing football and I’m cycling. My indoor training shoes are adidas samba I have a pair since 4 years now, they are durable as f… when u clean and maintain them properly. Also 8bar bags and Rapha gear is extremely durable. Last year I was in trend because of my sambas and my home club jersey. This year it will maybe repeat?
The way you think about fashion really is the way everyone should. There are people that dress because they have to to fit in society, and other that dress because they want to express themselves. Therefore, you should not necessarily wear what is trendy : I believe trends are here to help people discover more and more different styles, so they can find what matches with their personality. If everybody understand this, everyone would less hate on each other and the world would be a slightly better place to live in.
“Somehow, Skinny Jeans returned.” But fr tho, I think Skinny’s won’t be at the forefront again until we’re at that torch-passing transition between the latter Gen Z x Gen Alpha, in probs, 4-5 years, and even then another 2 years until the mainstream jump on it. The start of Gen Z having to come to the realisation that they aren’t the trendsetters they once were.
What's up drew, how you do? Couple of thoughts. 1) You bring an interesting point regarding geography. What is trending in NYC isn't what is trending in the midwest, so when commenters from the midwest are making observations, they will have a vastly different perspective from you. It appears to me that a trend happens in a location-agnostic place first (aka the internet, as it is not constrained by physical space and is easier to spread), and then in major cities like NYC and Tokyo. 2) Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I have to guess, it feels like you joined the fashion crowd around late 2019? Circa 2016-2018, raw denim caught on fire and everybody around Spring Street station was wearing some form of selvedge denim. Although raw denim appears niche, is less comfortable, and is more expensive, it is very possible for it to reach mainstream popularity again. America's obsession with individualism and raw denim's ability to create a unique individual stamp on a piece of clothing will make raw denim come back to the mainstream again and again. Prior to 2017-2018, older enthusiasts have informed me that they had a similar popularity decades ago which blew my mind, because at the time, I felt that raw denim was so niche! 3) Hope you're enjoying your stay in the city and I hope we get to keep you ;)
In all respect tho, your opinion isn´t "slightly" influenced by your geography. It very, very heavily influences everyone´s view. Social media sometimes gives us the impression that we´re aware of how people all across the world are dressing themselves but we truly have little clue about the contextual factors that influence people´s day to day dressing across the world.
Skinny jeans will comeback because of a statement footwear, specifically boots. And due to the minimalist trend, knee high boots will become an outfit staple..so I guess skinny jeans will comeback yall😢
I don't know what track jacket you are wearing but it looks amazing! I would love cycling wear being hot in 2024 but I wouldn't like to go back to kanye (or travis) to be big again, I don't think they are any kind of role models or fashion icons.
I literally finished this video at 10 pm on nye bro so you go and have a happy new year 😂 Concerning the skinny jeans and dressing with intention part of the vid: I'm totally with you. Tho I believe that nothing ever dies, it just vanishes in the so fast paced world of fashion. Doesn't matter if we're talking skinny jeans, bow ties or heck even sneakers. It might fall out of trend and not be worn by the ones who consider themselves fashionable, but some people are always gonna be here and rock those pieces. Simply because of necessity. But also because of individuality, that is becoming such a big thing now. And I am damn grateful for it. Have a great start to the new year man, your videos made me smile and think trough a lot of stuff that happened 🙏
Cycling jerseys are kind of tricky to style because they are elongated to accommodate cyclists. Unless someone alters them for style over substance it could work. That being said I’ve had some vintage cycling jerseys in my ebay cart for a while now lol.
I am very curious to see what peoples personal style developments turn into in the coming year. I feel like so much of the stuff I see feels too similar. Could be the algorithm, though. It seems like personal style and developing personal style is something that most people struggle with if they don’t have a very clear identity of who they are that’s not to say that people can’t change or develop or evolve because I think that we do it all the time, for the last few years, it feels that a lot of men’s fashion has become stale or at least what is popular.
Raw denim, specifically selvedge denim is one of my favs but they are very stiff and hard to break in. Apparently washing them often isn’t recommended by denim experts which is why they don’t break in as easily. Great video as per usual Drew 🔥
I just saw part 1, and was like should I write cycling clothes as a prediction for part 2, and realized that part 1 was uploaded 2 weeks ago and I was like nah, then I started watching part 2....
If I can say one think about skinny jeans is that they didn’t really die off. If you watch or follow black rappers or streams like Kai cenat they wear skinnies all the time. It’s just a tik tok think to popularize baggy fits.
Skinny jeans faded as a trend just like the rise of skinny jeans happened when bootcut and flare faded as a trend. I would push back on the notion though that they are dead. All of these jeans styles still make massive sales and are still easily available. If you had to hunt down skinny jeans I would agree they were dead, but any store with a large selection of jeans will have at least one skinny style available.
We need more comments about skinny jeans as I see it they maybe died out in the fashion community and the trend has gone down but for ''normal'' skinny jeans never died you see so many people going around in skinny jeans. For me personnaly I don't really weare skinnny jeans anymore just because my style changed somewhat so they just don't fit in that well anymore.
I don’t think skinny jeans died I think they just sort of slowed down in popularity because of wider fitting pants. I think if a fashion item is dying it means most people you see are not going to be wearing them but I feel like even on TikTok or even out in public I see a lot of people wearing skinny jeans.
Dont forget about the pay wall for raw denim. Even in Japan most brands are expensive. As soon as you leave japan good raw denim just gets way to expsive. Even in taiwan i would have to pay double the price from what i paid in japan for a momotaro or suggar cane jeans.
Im from the midwest. Skinny jeans still are breaking mens hearts😂 they see those curves and lose their minds. You stick those same women in baggy pants? They get ignored. Everyone appreciates 🍑😍
i feel that kanye is making a villian character now, to make a public personal grow to sypathize with people, but thats is almost constpiracy, maybe he is just a human
Much like many things fashion has a 20 year cycle skinny jeans did become a bit corny because things like big dad shoes got in the forefront I dont think skinny jeans are back yet but a nice slim fit flared is gonna take over or even regular slim fit skinny is still a bit corny imo
i will die on this hill. skinny jeans never died there function just changed. they moved from being a mainstream type sort of fit and are now mainly used in more underground fits and have started to see a rise with opium culture but there just a different colour now
@@anitapricecheck9554 bingo. I totally agree. The fact that it's something that's just about exclusively an import to most places doesn't help either. Plus, I'm on the bigger side and I've never even seen a pair sold in any webstore that was in my size. I'd love to have at least a pair of raw denim jeans. There are just too many barriers to entry for me.
Amazing. Thank God for His love, mercy, protection, and creations and thank God during the highs and lows and God bless you and all of us in Jesus Christ’s King of all kings blood that was shed and name we declare and name we pray amen 😊 Fantastica. Gracias a Dios por El amor, merced, proteccion, y creaciones y gracias a Dios todo los dias mala o bueno y vayan con Dios a todos y yo en el sangre y nombre de Cristo Jesus Rey de reys amen
