In the s, the rise of hip-hop changed the way denim was worn. Jeans became very baggy and oversized. It was when Calvin Klein released its ad featuring Brooke Shields that is still talked about today. The thenyear-old model infamously said, "You know what comes between me and my Calvins? Jordache jeans , with their stiff-looking fabric and embroidered back pockets, were one of the most popular brands at this time.
In the early s, jeans were high waisted, cuffed, and slightly baggy. This was when "mom jeans" really became a thing. Baggy, cuffed mom jeans soon became cropped, slightly tapered mom jeans , a trend that stuck around for a very long time.
As the months went by, denim became a bit tighter instead of baggy or boxy. However, that slightly cropped ankle-length look stuck around — the better to show off your thick white socks with.
Acid-wash denim will always be one of the first things people think of when they think about the s, and for good reason. Faded, super light acid-wash jeans were a huge trend.
Eventually, faded acid-wash also became destroyed acid-wash, with light jeans full of holes and artfully arranged rips. People were regularly photographed in slightly baggy, straight leg jeans with matching oversized jean jackets. Similar to acid-wash jeans, stonewashed jeans were extremely popular. The worn-in, old look of brand new jeans was something everyone was wearing.
Button-fly jeans were first introduced in , and they came back courtesy of Levi's in , when they became a trend once again. Overalls were around before the s, but this decade is when they really gained steam — especially in the pop-culture world.
The jeans of the early s weren't too outlandish. The most popular style was straight-leg, slightly stuff jeans in a medium wash. Denim also saw a slight decline in sales around this time. In , low-rise jeans came back into style thanks to Alexander McQueen and then Madonna, who wore the butt-grazing jeans in a popular ad.
In the mids, the bootcut style came back with a vengeance. They were straight, less baggy, and worn with just about everything. Then suddenly JNCO jeans were everywhere. This huge, extremely baggy jeans were incredibly popular, accounting for an impressive amount of denim sales. In the wake of spring , Fort Worth Texas City Council received a letter from a concerned citizen calling short shorts "an advertisement for adultery.
Seen as an attempt to thwart dress codes, this sparked a longstanding cultural push-back against any short styles. Towards the end of the '60s, the fashion industry began to promote midi-skirts as a replacement for shorter options to remain within dress code standards. Despite the endorsement from the fashion world, the response to the midi style was lukewarm. The zeitgeist of the time was freed and sexually liberated, and women yearned for styles to match that.
One thing was for sure, shoppers were hooked on the trends of short styles but didn't know exactly where to find them. As a force in mod and youth-driven fashions, Quant garnered a large fanbase of dedicated clientele at her boutique. It was there she designed modernized styles—such as the mini skirt—that challenged the status quo of women's dress. Despite her advancements, her customers kept coming back asking to " In an effort to give her clients what they asked for, Quant designed a style of shorts synonymous with the times that had a maximum inseam of about two inches.
Better known as hotpants, the name for the style was coined by a fashion trade publication in when used as a generic term to refer to different styles and price points of the popular new trend. The style spread like wildfire among the youth and became something of a movement in the wake of the '70s. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis bought a pair while yachting along the Franco-Italian coast, and Elizabeth Taylor wore them to London's Heathrow Airport as part of her jet-set look.
Gazing into the butt mirror at Judi Rosen, I realized the appeal of the hyperbolically high-waisted pant may be in how much the cut emphasizes and celebrates natural curves. I, too, grew up in the era of low-rise skinny jeans, and I, too, avoided pants altogether for years. I thought that pants were meant to hide my shape, or at least streamline it in a kind of disappearing act. All these years, we had been lied to!
Pants can glorify the body rather than mask it. High-rise pants put us in a direct, friendly confrontation with our proportions. The eco-friendly fashion brand has surely pushed many of its customers to think about sustainability. But it is hard to echo its proposition that looking cute is a way of protecting the earth.

On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media.
He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality. Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar. It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify. He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated.
Definitely give them a listen! His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist. He could easily compete with rappers today. While his music discusses girls and drugs, he also uses his platform to advocate for human rights movements like BLM. If you like rap, there is something for everyone with his work. This funky fresh group focuses on really catchy indie-pop songs. However, I definitely think they are on that track so I suggest you hop on the train now while they're still lesser-known.
Their sound is really desirable so I can imagine it's only a matter of time before they blow up. This singer-songwriter is extremely talented. Kate Stephenson's voice is delicate and aids in delivering her music in such a beautiful and heartfelt way. Her music is relatable and makes you want to listen to what she has to say. She also has an amazing way with words and I'm excited to see her grow as an artist!
