40 Vintage Outfit Ideas You Will Love
Straight Leg Jeans with Red Details
Straight-leg jeans are back in full force this year. Especially tighter jeans than the wide-leg jeans that have been hyped for years are becoming increasingly popular: really long legs, skinny jeans, and straight jeans without wide cuts.
What do you think of this trend? There are always heated debates about this on TikTok – feel free to let us know in the comments below the blog article.
I have to say I’m in two minds – on the one hand I love my wide jeans, simply because they are so comfortable and universal. On the other hand, I think straight-leg jeans are way more elegant and simply look timelessly chic. So I can understand why we’re going back to them, but it’s literally going to be an uncomfortable transition.
