Men's fashion:the return of flared jeans leaves Internet users perplexed

There are fashion items from past decades whose return we would never have imagined, and yet... The neon, essential of the "tecktonik" era in the mid-2000s, the large pliers, the essential accessory for girls with the long manes of the 1990s… Many are the trends considered outdated or even downright outdated, let's not be afraid of words, which have become fashionable again without any of us seeing it coming. And they're not just for women, as evidenced by the sudden interest in bootcuts for men. Kesaco? These are literally "boot cut" jeans, i.e. flared out at the bottom to make room for chunky shoes, which had its heyday in the 1970s (yes, yes, we are referring to the disco period). It was the Balenciaga brand that brought jeans back to the forefront with its new men's denim collection inspired by the bootcut of the 1990s, pushing Vanity Fair and HQ to officially declare its big comeback.

“There is still time to stop this”

But fashion institutions do not always have the expected influence on the public who, as one might expect for this time, would have preferred that the trend remain well and truly in the past. Internet users indeed went there with a good heart on Twitter:“These Balenciaga jeans are the scariest thing I’ve seen since the movie Heredity”, “Is this a joke? », « There is still time to stop this », « Dare to say no “, can we read in the many comments. If Balenciaga has so far only created long versions of the bootcut, other brands Nordstrom and Levi's, which have never stopped producing this cut, could well develop 7/8 versions, in other words which are stop at the ankle. We are not sure of the result on these gentlemen... But why not!
