Are Skinny Jeans Back?

The reemergence of 90’s fashion pushed aside the skinny fit and baggy jeans became the ultimate go-to choice, but not so fast. In the last couple of seasons we have seen how the body-hugging silhouette is becoming more and more popular.

It seems like bell bottoms and baggy jeans are the go-to choice of the younger demographic, a change millennials are yet to embrace completely.

This embrace of looser-fit denim has opened the door for today's hottest trends; cargo pants, cargo skirts and parachute pants. Does this mean that the tight body-hugging silhouette is out for good? Not quite yet.

As 2022 progresses so does the love for loose clothing, we started the year strong with baggy jeans and are now seeing the rise of the parachute pant. Another retro take on the then 80s popular harem pants, proving that nostalgia is the main inspiration for fashion these days.

Even though loose is all the rage, like everything else in fashion no mega trend really fades away. Skinny jeans will most likely come back sooner or later. Maybe not in the same way as we used to know them, remember jeggings? 

As bottoms get looser, undergarments get tighter. If you are into fashion you probably have noticed that catsuits are being spotted in the runways and on the streets. Every celebrity from Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian to Taylor Swift have sported the ultra-trendy silhouette. 

You might be thinking, why talk about baggy jeans when analyzing the catsuit trend? Baggy jeans are not the only popularized item, shapewear has taken a whole new meaning. Brands like Skims have transformed shapewear into wardrobe essentials. No longer just an undergarment but a comfortable and versatile must have. 

We may not see the return of skinny jeans just yet but its body-hugging silhouette is definitely making its way in. 

Designers like Thierry Muggler and Balenciaga have definitely embraced catsuits as their distinguished staple. Combining lingerie, sex appeal and sportswear that embraces all body types and the various feminine silhouettes.

“I want you to feel uplifted as soon as you close the zipper. It doesn’t matter your size – whether you have a big waist or small breasts, it will adapt to the body and flatter any figure.” Casey Cadwallader

Skin-tight bodysuits and shapewear can be your go-to take on the popular catsuits, combining them with a looser garment and you are street style ready.
