Jeans becomes a part of street wear


Whether it’s transformative designs made from deconstructed denim, or back-to-basics high-waisted mom and dad styles, jeans are a likely pairing for street wear’s core items: graphic logo tees and sneakers. While street was solely about youth culture, the current look for denim as street wear runs the gamut from wide and baggy, to fitted, stylized and even tailored.

The rise of street wear has invited new opportunities for women’s denim brands to experiment outside the confines of the skinny jean. The trend has created a shift in women’s silhouettes. A wider and more square aesthetic is now leading. Layering has become more playful and innovative, with a mixing up of weights and lengths.

Denim jackets, coats, shirts, vests, skirts and dresses are giving off that nonchalant street wear aesthetic thanks to the casual feel of the fabric. Street wear also has pushed a less gender-defined aesthetic. Street garments have cross-appeal, with women shopping from menswear lines and some brands catering to this with unisex lines. Across genders, there has been a general loosening of silhouette, with wider fit jeans, puffed-out jackets and longer-line top. From drop crotch to baggy denim, voluminous denim shapes are already in stores.
