So I realize that I've already done my proscribed "It's Going to Be a Thing" post for the month of June, but I feel like I need to do a post in honor of Japan.
So I've seen a lot of crazy clothes in Japan. Like a lot. Some of the clothes are cool - mainly the dude's clothes. And some of the clothes are lame - mainly the women's clothes. I'm not into the wearing high heels with EVERYTHING (especially when it seems like there are only about 10 Japanese women total who actually know how to walk in said heels), or the short shorts and knee-highs - it's just a little too slutty for me. But there IS one trend in Japanese trendy women's wear that I can forsee becoming a thing in America. And here's what it is....
Women wearing men's jeans. Now it's been done before, I know - I lived through the 90's too. But I think it's ready for a come back. We've had the tight jeans. We're having the wide-legged men's-trousers inspired. We may be going into flares right now (which I DO NOT support for the record). We've even seen men in womens jeans. But I think that we're going to be seeing some for realz mens jeans on some ladies at some point in the near future.
Maybe a-something like above par example. Maybe in a darker wash would be nice, but whatev. You get the idea. I swear, it's totally going to be a thing.

I bet it WILL become a thing, but I, for one, will not support it. Stacey and Clinton have taught us many things and one of those main things is that boys jeans on women do nothing to flatter the figure. They leave you with a saggy butt and an elongated crotch. Gross. (Speaking of elongated crotches- the zipper on GAP jeans...unnecessarily long).
I mean, we already have "the boyfriend" cut jean and those are okay, they're a girl-jean with a guy style...I don't know.
I like flare jeans and will support them till my dying day- if only to justify the fact that I...uh, still wear them. But mens jeans: I say nay!
I am so torn on this. I, too, think it could definitly become a thing and really has a foundation already set (as glynnis mentioned the boyfriend jean is fairly prominent, even making its way to Jcrew and such). I think this is one style that one would need to be en pointe with the total outfit to pull off. You can't sport the dude jean and then any old tee on top. It's gotta support the style you're trying to convey. And its not going to be a universally flattering fit. Curvy gals are going to be fairly hesitant, i bet, to slip into a pair. We'll see though. Comfort and trendiness may win out in the end.
yeah, we were all saying how these jeans look so cute on these asian girls, but we're afraid that you have to be tiny and non-curvy like an asian girl to actually be able to wear these.
but glynnis, you don't wear like the 70's ultra skinny at top, ultra flair at bottom, which is what i seriously seriously object to.
