The '90s Denim Trend Fashion People Are Wearing With Everything
Jasmine Fox-Suliaman
Denim trends always seem to go in and out at a rapid-fire pace. But is it just me, or does it feel like they've been moving even more quickly than usual recently? From more extreme takes like colored denim and ultra-baggy fits to the return of low-rise jeans, the rotation of trends flittering through seems to be greater than ever before. In the midst of this denim mania, fashion people have also been wearing outfits featuring another nostalgic denim trend: bootcut jeans.
We last saw bootcut jeans having their true heyday during the '90s, amid the low-rise-jean phase, but they've gotten an update since the iconic decade. From chic cropped iterations of the trend to slightly more streamlined silhouettes, Wholesale Replica Bag takes on the look are proving that the old-school style is here to stay. Not convinced yet? Scroll down to see how my favorite It girls are styling bootcut jeans outfits this season.
What You'll Need: Oval sunglasses + blazer + t-shirt + bootcut jeans + thong sandals
Style Notes: Take the '90s aesthetic all the way by adding a pair of oval sunglasses.
What You'll Need: Sunglasses + oversized blazer + t-shirt + bootcut jeans + UGG boots + crescent shoulder bag
Style Notes: With the Ugg revival in full swing, now's the time to style them with your favorite pair of bootcut jeans. Add in some cool accessories to finish it off.
What You'll Need: Herringbone print coat + tank + bootcut jeans + pointed pumps
Style Notes: For longer hems, heels are more than just an aesthetic choice, as they create the illusion of longer legs and save you from a hem job.
What You'll Need: Shaggy fur coat + halter top + bootcut jeans mules + shoulder bag
Style Notes: Everything looks better with a dramatic coat—including bootcut jeans.
What You'll Need: Colorful cardigan + tank top + bootcut jeans + ankle boots
Style Notes: Colorful crochet sweaters have been everywhere this year, and they give these cropped jeans a psychedelic spin.
What You'll Need: Hoop earrings + shoulder bag + denim jacket + t-shirt + bootcut jeans + cowboy ankle boots
Style Notes: Yes, Canadian tuxedos will always be cool.
What You'll Need: Denim shirt + white bootcut jeans + white pointed pumps
Style Notes: Here's an interesting take on denim on denim: a dark-wash denim shirt with white bootcut jeans. Unexpected yet welcomed.
What You'll Need: Hoop earrings + coat + turtleneck + bootcut jeans + belt + ankle boots
Style Notes: In my head, this is the perfect winter outfit, and no one can tell me otherwise. All of the elements are minimalistic, effortless, and likely easy to re-create with the staples you already own.
What You'll Need: Layered jewelry + leather vest + button-down shirt + distressed bootcut jeans + loafers
Style Notes: Admittedly, I was dubious about the return of distressed denim, but outfits like this have convinced me otherwise. Pairing it with loafers gives this look a subtle downtown edge.
What You'll Need: Oversized blazer + t-shirt + quilted crossbody bag + belt + baggy bootcut jeans + ballet flats
Style Notes: This look marries the bootcut and loose denim trend that's been raging on over the past few months.
What You'll Need: Suede trench coat + tank top + high-waisted bootcut jeans + boots
Style Notes: If you're like me, you're going for ultra high-waisted silhouettes like this.
What You'll Need: Printed blazer + t-shirt + quilted shoulder bag + bootcut jeans + ballet flats
Style Notes: Truly peak Parisienne.
What You'll Need: Trench coat + black t-shirt + black bootcut jeans + black sneakers
Style Notes: Give your blue jeans a break and reach for a black pair of bootcut denim. For a visual contrast that will capture everyone's attention, wear them with a tan trench coat.
