The defamed linchpin of the Millennial and Y2K fashion – the Skinny Jean – could be on the way to a comeback.
In the past few months, a number of thin styles, including pants and jeans, have appeared on fashion railways, influencer videos and Google search trends, which points out that the splitting piece of clothing could soon be a fixed staple.
Part of the sums around Skinny -Jeans came undoubtedly when TikK -Star and Gen Z Influencer Alix Earle made a few exclusive skinnies with jeans brand framework, but the hype already built up.
“In the past six months we have started to hear Rumpel from Skinny Jeans to make a comeback,” said Janine Stster, retail analyst and managing director at BIG. “If you look at Google Trends data for skinny jeans … [spiked] The week of January 12th and since then it has caught up steam. “
During the week after Earle made her Skinny Jean partnership with frame, the search for Skinny -Jeans increased by 50%compared to the year, added it, but still well from its climax from 2009.
This probably led to an interest in retailers. Reformation announced CNBC this week that its customers have been looking for Skinny jeans more recently.
American eagle has also grown interest.
“Certainly there is a lot of activity on Skinny. I would like to say executive creative officers, said CNBC in an interview.
“You start to see something of this movement, but at the moment it is still relatively small, but we are ready to roll while we test and scale it,” she continued. “Our job is to be nimble, right?”
But as with every fashion trend, the Skinny Jean Resurgence was first discovered on the runways. Based on how the main designers interpret the look, this time will look different.
“On the runways, Prada, Isabel Morant, death, they all made very slim silhouette -they call them thin pants. The difference is that they do them in plaid, not only in solids. They make them very much in them Tailor -made fabrics, “said Shawn Grain Carter, fashion professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. “We see how some of the celebrities wear these Skinny jeans, but they are not nearly so compliant … It is different from the Jeggings they saw [between 2009 and 2011]… it corresponds to the leg, but it does not necessarily have to hug so that everything you see is an outline of a woman's leg. “
The unofficial queen of Denim – Levi Strauss CEO Michelle Gass – discovered the same trend on the runways and announced CNBC that it expected that the controversial jeans would be officially returned “at some point in the future”.
“Although we don't have a crystal ball, they won't get rid of their Skinny jeans,” said Gass. “I think if we take up a bigger trend again, it will look different and feel different.”
Grain Carter said Skinny styles could appear in the shops this summer, but Stitchter said they could return to shelves if more consumers for pants and jeans shop. This is a welcome news for clothing and shoe retailers, because if the trends shift, it triggers an increase in demand for new clothes, she said.
“If we want to get a full resolution in one of these styles, it tends to be a big positive for the sector,” said Stoter. “Every time you have a large Silhouette shift, it is positive for refill cycles. It is also positive for shoes because you need different shoes to go to the floor and then not only buy the parts, but also need it Different tops to go with the floor so that it can catalyze a full refreshment of the closet … this is something we watch out for.
For those who have just set up their wardrobe on Baggy and loose seizures, the current Jean du Jour assures that there is space for both. If there is one thing that has started to define fashion, it is the lack of consensus among consumers of all ages and styles, said stabia.
Many buyers have never stopped wearing Skinny jeans, and with the exciting pace that the trends in the age of social media are moving, fashion cycles can be revived before they are dead.
“The denim cabinet should really have all the varieties of jeans. It's really about what you wear, what your mood is and people are still thin today,” said Gass. “So keep your lot, keep your baggie. At the moment everything works.”
