8 Anti-Skinny Jeans Outfits Fashion People Are Wearing on Repeat This Autumn
Over the last 12 months we’ve seen plenty of Y2K styles weaving their way into our current fashion trends, from micro-mini skirts and off-duty athleisure to bow-embellished ballet flats, and it looks like it’s not slowing down anytime soon. Now, it seems the fashion set are throwing it back to the 90’s and early 00’s once more with the resurgence of bootcut jeans. Yes, bootcut jeans.
The perfect median between skinny and wide-leg offerings, this more subtle and minimalist approach to a flared cut boasts a snug fit with a small leg opening, ideal for pairing with boots (the clue is in the name). Worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell, Paris Hilton and Jennifer Aniston, the love-or-hate denim jean was known for their lengthening effect, without compromising on their curve-hugging cut. Whilst many sported the style with midriff-baring baby tees and relaxed fit bomber jackets, others took the double denim route, before completing the smart-casual look with a pair of leather boots or pointed-toe kitten heels.
This autumn, bootcut is officially back in the spotlight again and it’s giving us all the noughties nostalgia. Paying homage to the controversial denim attire, boot-cut strutted its way down the runways of luxury fashion houses, Chloé and Blumarine, earlier this year. What once felt like a distant memory is now back in full force, modelled in recent times on Kate Moss, Bella Hadid and Cindy Crawford, only adding to our appetite for 90’s denim. Although once always accompanied by a low-rise waist, additions to the recent trend flaunt a more approachable mid to high-rise waistband, from Frame’s iconic Le Boot style to Agolde’s highly regarded design.
Our wardrobes may be feeling reminiscent, but boot-cut’s streamlined makeover makes the cut in this season’s closet. Keep scrolling to see the jeans’ well-anticipated revival that’s been all over our Instagram feeds.
