the 70s had a style, the 80s had a style, the 90s had a style. now it's just been some sort of unidentifiable mush for ~30 years
Naw the 2000s had a distinct style if you go back and look, especially for women. Low-cut jeans and spaghetti straps were popular. A lot of boys wore baggy jeans, long t-shirts, ball necklaces, etc. Studs and other accessories made from steel. Goth and punk aesthetics. And bleached hair styled into spikes.
The 2010s are starting to become distinct, too. We just don't notice changes as they're happening. A lot of the early 80s looked like the 70s. A lot of the mid 60s looked like the late 50s.
small addition - I'd say that skinny jeans and chinos for both men and women were big in the 2010s. I've noticed that relaxed fits are more the norm, myself included (good timing and out of necessity since I've started jogging and my calves feel uncomfortable in skinny jeans)
Relaxed fits are back in style again? Holy fuck thank god
I feel like they have been for a while now. To the point that things are gradually going back to slimmer fits again.
I’m always behind the curve on this, I’m just going wear relaxed fit forever
It's better to just pick something you enjoy and looks flattering on your body, tbh, but it's nice to use changing trends to try out something different.
I usually go for slightly slim pants with a little bit of a taper, but I have a couple of wider pairs that are nice to mix things up!
