Skinny Jeans (The Extreme Era)

So tight one woman was hospitalized. Gen Z killed them in 2021.

There's slim-fit, and then there's the 2008-2015 era where jeans were so tight they cut off circulation to your feet. Pete Wentz, Russell Brand, and every Brooklyn barista made spray-on denim a personality trait. An Australian woman was hospitalized in 2015 after her skinny jeans caused compartment syndrome — her calves swelled so badly she couldn't walk. Gen Z officially declared skinny jeans dead in 2021 via a viral TikTok, and wide-leg pants reclaimed the throne. The pendulum always swings.
