1 Item, 3 Ways: Skinny Jeans
Everyone know the Gen Z versus skinny jeans and side part discourse. It’s been quite the conversation within my group texts and DMs. While I don’t appreciate there being “tells” of my apparently being “old,” I have been there and done that with the unflattering jean styles. Did I like dragging the heels of my pants through water and dirt completely ruining them? No. Did I like unflattering cuts that now haunt my 8th grade graduation photos? No. What I do know is, I’ve done my time and I love how skinny jeans look. I’ve honed my style by now and they are a closet staple in my eyes. Plus, I’m fine not trying to dress like a teenager. Like I said, 75% of the stuff they are loving now, we’ve already done.
Don’t get me wrong, there are certain body types and lucky people who can get away with trying a new type of jean cut every day. I am, unfortunately, not one of those people. The high waisted jeans I just ordered after seeing them all over Instagram made my body look like one of those puzzles where you turn the various pieces to build a person. It was just….bad. But if you are one of those lucky people, I seriously envy you and you go be your best self. Me? I’ll be sticking with my faithful drawer of varying washes of skinny jeans. Here are 3 of my current favorite ways to wear them.
