Men's jeans have stayed the same for a long, long time. Even when we predicted the disappearance of slim or skinny cuts for a couple of years, they managed to survive and not go away completely. Twenty years have passed on average since a style was positioned as king of all the others and the legs of all of us were technically kept under the same code. However, with the arrival (and evolution) of the pandemic, in addition to a natural turn towards what was once fashionable in the late 1990s, today jeans are relaxing a little more and “loosening” their seams.

In recent months, especially if we pay attention to what has been seen on social networks and what has happened in fashion collections, the tightest cuts have been left aside to make way for a more baggy style that reminds us of the looks of an incipient new millennium. . Is this another step up in the Y2K fashion game? You can bet because yes. Definitely. And we are seeing it in series like Euphoria or in spring-summer 2022 collections —like Louis Vuitton's.

Here's everything you need to consider to wear the best men's jeans in 2022.

a different length

To begin with, we must be very aware that the jeans have dropped back a little past the ankle. Your next jeans—the ones that are going to rock this year—fall over your tennis shoes or boots and make slight creases at the bottom of your calves. This also suggests that your crotch (a very important part of the pants) will be a little looser and that, even if cut at the waist, the fit will be more relaxed in the upper silhouette.

Inspiration

Very important, notice how they suggested them in Diesel for SS22. The cuts and color details, in fact, still give it that extra touch of time travel that we need. See how they come together perfectly with technical sneakers and an oversized jacket.

Something interesting is that KidSuper's proposal has graphics completely brought from urban culture and is even closer to the original streetwear that completely changed the course of fashion.

On the other hand, we have Etudes, a French brand that has opted for slightly baggy jeans but with a more structured denim, as opposed to Louis Vuitton, which has gone for a more moldable denim full of its monogram.

effects

With regard to the last point, something completely remarkable for this 2022 is that the faded effects or chlorinated graphics once again have a leading role in our jeans. Those interesting washouts, stains and patinas that usually appear with time of use in denim today are looking for factory products again. To sample, precisely the set of monograms that we saw in the LV jeans and these designs by Doublet and Children of the Discordance.

If you thought this would never happen again —like many of us—, the 21st century is here to truly surprise us. Especially if we are talking about ripped jeans.

Finally, we must tell you that you should privilege blue colors in your wardrobe (as always), those that have patch pockets (like your cargo pants) and that you leave behind prejudices about whether or not you are old enough to wear this style.
