‘They add 10 years to my age!’ What happened when a millennial and a gen Zer swapped jeans | Fashion

HOne day, it seems as if social media finds new ways to inform us of our work. I just joined Tiktok? Perhaps the millennium. Wear your Poetry in a center separation? Gen. Z. Pay your mortgage – or even you have one? Ok Bomer.

This gap between generations is particularly strong, when it comes to jeans. See those around you and you may notice that young people prefer to wear them low, a long square, and a superior property, while the millennial generation is worn on the waist and its height from the ground-also known as “Mom Jean”. Tiktok is full of videos of young people who mocked their elders for their jeans. Now even the millennial generation comes after their generation’s commitment to the style. “My Millennium Girls”, a video of Tiktoker begins Indigo Tshai Williams-BRUNTON“Stop completely with mother jeans.”

How will it seem if generations exchange jeans for today? Could the millennium generation deal with hemalein rising the sidewalk? Can General Zeer deal with the painful cold of the ankle? Can this jeans divide great generations? To reformulate the saying: Before you criticize someone, walk a mile at their jeans. Mf

Like many women of my age, I wear only one type of Jean: high waist, with a cruel leg in the form of islands and three -inch hem on the ground. They are called Barrel Leg, which is currently the best -selling John Lewis. Neither warm nor straight, it is a home in the middle of the road for those who have difficult successes – I do not want the tight jeans but I need a little distress. Quotation Nick is a cave on his clothes“I would like to be somewhat.”

When I wear my clothes, I must think about what I can run to my son’s school without stumbling – with a belt that can contain straight -to -beam (stomach separation after birth). Gen Z, with one inch flies and the collection of the edges, is definitely directed towards the youngest, tested and free of children.

Emma, ​​my younger colleague, chose this jeans for me (they are the citizens of humanity and 320 pounds in Selfridges; M & S does a similar style For 45 pounds) because what people wear. But the legs are wide – 13 inches, slightly larger than LP. I also wear shoes, don’t know that.

Obviously, more than 300 pounds is a lot of money, which is why you always have to go to used jeans where possible (the beauty of both directions is that you can get these patterns of actual denim in the nineties and alpins). However, if you go new, the jeans deserves to get rid of it-not only because the cheapest denim is one of the most intense elements in resources (water, chemicals and energy) of clothes but also in terms of cost for each wear. What is the price of something you can wear forever?

The denim is incredibly comfortable but until it comes at a price – weighing 900 grams. Fortunately, the spring emerged. Like many millennials (and those who lived during the seventies in front of me), I can restart a wide hell as it was yesterday.

Memories of the sixth model come in floods. Our school had a loose unified policy, but we mostly wore torches. This trend was severely burned in the early twentieth century that our parents had sent a letter announcing that they were banned. Did you stop wearing me? I did not. Instead, I persuaded my mother to sew the Velcro strips under the calves, which led to the creation of two panels, which means that I can turn them into a “exchange” when I went to the separation.

The return of huge clothes in the nineties and sixties has been growing in fashion for nearly a decade (longer, if you asked Cos or Armani), but since the epidemic, they became almost an organization. Future legs, waist ligament, and easy shoes. Once you taste freedom, how can we return?

I prefer to be a loose style when it comes to other trousers, and I still wear loose maternity pants at the weekend, but recently, high street stores have been considered to the M&S to Arket and Selfridges to be very large in the direction less than the level of industry. “We see clear discrimination in how different age groups deal with denim, loose and space -time bouts that dominate,” says Ann Catherine Lebas, Vice President of Promotion in Europe in Levy.

Jeans can be determined in the afternoon, and if you follow the fashion, you will know that the look of the super wheel in the mid-nineties is followed by torches, then-thanks Stroke“Skinnies, just to be replaced by” mom “,” father “and” her boyfriend “styles (almost everything). However, unlike most other clothing elements, almost everyone has a pair of jeans, so that they can also exceed the most vibrant trends (Levi’s 501s is rarely out of style).

The difficult thing with this last repetition is their design. I tend to loose by wearing a large shirt hanging – I was told that the French/Millennium Tuck (half) is Passé. I look deceitful, like the tent, as well as how you used to teen. Maybe this is the point.

But after a few hours, I didn’t know the comfort like that. I am not sure that it is very respectful to be strong in the direction of my life. On my way back to the office after lunch, I discovered a group of teenage girls who wear jeans of this size so that they have to hold them physically while walking in the past. It is still better than tight jeans, though. Only a fool will follow that canary again to the direction mine.

By the time when I was at the age of adulthood in mid -2010, the millennial generation was a fashion power brokers and only one silhouette: Skinny was king. Specifically, Topshop Joni Jons jeans. Sitting after a snack? Forget that. This method, along with the appearance of athleisure, was the one who created the nightmare in the fashion matrix that was “Jegging”: the most designed legacy to look like jeans. It is usually associated with a ballet pump or UGG shoe and a boutique boutique bag, the grumbling was the opposite of high -end fashion.

Since then, Microtrends has created TIKTOK riding alongside the harsh humor of Gen Z a division line between the debt. In recent years, A group of viral videos from Gen Z Creators Millennium Girl for their narrow jeansWhich in turn pushed A violent reaction from the slim defender enthusiastic. Then they came to Millennium jeans jeans.

Although I did not go to the excessive waist in Y2K like some Gen Z peers, I usually choose the middle of height and a real fit I can sit comfortably without feeling as if I was intermittent in half. I often buy jeans in size and wear it with a belt. However, Morwena tells me that her jeans are exclusively high-and she tends to drop to take a more convenient look.

The husband was Morwenna that he chose for me Leg pattern Bayeel tall (280 pounds in Selfridges; Jigsaw does a similar style for 95 pounds sterling). They are very high, in fact, I have returned at least five buttons on the dysfunction. They also sat very high over the ankle because of my desire – I am not a hem wandering along the ground, but this is very short as if it was only made with ankle shoes (very 2010). I think they add about 10 years to my perceived age. Perhaps a bad factor blames his tools, but I don’t think this method looks good for anyone.

I wonder if this fashion section is a reflection of beauty standards more than style. My later teenage years and adults coincided early with the emerging body movement, while the older generations may still tend towards the so -called “seduction” patterns that “hold everything”.

This may be the reason why slim jeans seems to return to high fashion for 2025. The silhouette appeared In the fall/winter 2024 and Spring/Summer 2025 platformBut like many trends led by General Z, a lot of Renaissance came from bottom to top. In January, Tiktoker and Gen Z Sibyl alix Earle, who had more than 7 million followers on the platform, launched a pair of tight jeans in cooperation with the fashion brand frame, prompting the viral trend of social media creators to show how they were designed.

“Those huge silhouettes have become somewhat tired in my opinion,” says Gen Z Fashion Instagrammer Jake Denton. “Blame for the return of slim models, and corruption, Ozimbek.” Perhaps this is, but personally I will not get out of the Shop Johns brick any time soon.

Despite what social media tells us about the hostilities between generations, when we and the Denim were exchanged, we were accepting the patterns of each other. The waist belt until the bra is not for me – but in general, we were surprised by the discovery that our patterns are not very different as the Internet will believe us.

As for the millennial generation, I say: Trying to play causing mercury resources is exhausting. It is better to wear what you feel comfortable, even if the 20 -year -old Tiktoker does not agree.
