Denim Through The Decades

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SMCVT chapter.

 

 

70s

 

The theme of the decade? Wear as much denim as possible and make sure it flares at the bottom. Throw on a pair of flare jeans and I guarantee you’ll be having peace and love thoughts all day.

 

Icons: Cher and Farrah Fawcett

 

 

90s

 

Denim on denim. *shudders*

The denim trends of the 90s are iconic to say the least. From Victoria Beckham to JT, everyone was pairing their denim with more denim. Don’t get me wrong, I love 90s fashion but please Lord do not let this trend come back.  

 

Icons: Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake

 

 

2010s

 

Denims had a pretty aggressive past. The 2010s have reigned in the wonderful world of denim and adopted it into the street style trend. Heavily influenced by the 90s, today people love to wear “mom jeans” and even denim on denim. Jean skirts have burst onto the scene again (insert happy dance) and ripped jeans are being taken to all new levels. Overall denim trends are still hugely popular but are being transformed into edgier, street style looks for modern baddies.

 

Icons: Rihanna

 

So whatever your style, grab those blue jeans and wear them with confidence. Denims been around for awhile and isn’t going away anytime soon.
