[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just the millenials that can't handle this.

When skinny jeans came in (they were not always "in"!) we Gen Xers had to sort out all new boots and shoes and tops to wear with skinny jeans. Now we've been around long enough that it's easy for us to slip back into straight leg, flare, boot, etc. and know what works for us.

I think you'll find that straight and flare jeans are way easier to find boots or other shoes to wear that look good. Plus you can wear socks without making them part of your outfit. [/quote]

It's not the same.  It was bootcut and low rise in the 90s.  Now it's high rise and straight cut, yet ankle length still.  Completely different.[/quote]

Yeah the 90s bootcut was more like this, went all the way down to the toe, just lower rise. To look good, you wore this style jean with a heeled boot and your "going out top"

Back in the late 90s, early 00's, you were still afraid of looking like your jeans were too short, you wanted it the length that is shown in this photo. I remember getting my 7 brand jeans hemmed to be just right.

Now the bootcut appearance is more demi cut to show the boot above the ankle.
