A Denim Dilemma – Skinny and Baggy Jeans

Summary by Leanne Prime, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

Are Skinny Jeans over? Are Baggy Jeans this summer’s must have?

Marc Jacobs sent his models down the runway in wide-legged loose jeans and sparked a frantic switch from drainpipe denim to lose legged baggies.

But it will take more than a fashion trend to stop some women from relinquishing their rock star like skinniest.

Celebrity best dressers may flaunt the skinniest of all skinny jeans on their tiny frames but contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a mini-size to wear them.

A dark blue color is great as it is more forgiving on legs that don’t have petite proportions and a grey color is perfect for the slim.

Want a versatile option for all shapes and sizes then try baggy ‘boyfriend’ jeans, so called because their loose, baggy cut makes them look like you nabbed them from the man in your life.

Baggies ooze effortless style and look good with your whole shoe collection including ballet pumps and trainers as well as killer heels.

Dressing Up In Hip Hop

Summary by Kristien Wilkinson

From baggy jeans and bling blings to classic gangster-inspired suits and bowler hats, a distinct and evolving fashion style has always been an indispensable element of the hip hop industry. Hip hop fashion traces its roots to the clothing style of African-American youths. Men sported gold chains while women wore large gold earrings. The emergence of gangsta rap as a sub-genre of hip hop fueled another fashion statement, this time inspired by the clothing styles of street thugs and prison inmates. Other hip hop personalities opted for the classy gangster look and wore double-breasted suits, bowler hats, silk shirts, and alligator-skin shoes. Recent trends in hip hop apparel show the influence of hipster and preppy styles. With the development of hip hop fashion, rap artists eventually ventured into the clothing business and started producing their own labels.

Boot Cut Jeans

Summary by Nick Schofield, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

Denim pants are available in various colors, styles, cuts and shapes.

Some of the popular colors are blue, navy blue, indigo, sky blue, black, grey, faded white, brown, etc.

Previously high wasted jeans were preferred by all. At present low rise jeans, dangerously low wasted jeans are doing their rounds, but high wasted varieties are making a highly publicized comeback.

Boot leg jeans are toned down versions of bell bottom jeans that ruled the roost during the swinging sixties and flower power seventies and were popularized by the likes of Elvis Presley, ABBA and the Beatles.

Boot cut jeans sit pretty on slim and trim bodies or slightly heavier bodies and look best when teamed with a fitted shirt or body hugging top.

Boot cut jeans help to create a balanced look for the lower portion of the body and those girls who have pear shaped bodies with slightly heavy bottoms, can create a flattering silhouette with this cut.
