Skinny jeans infiltrated the mens clothing market sometime in late 2005 and have been the standard ever since. The tightness of the jeans themselves became a sort of measuring stick of one’s hipster authenticity– the tighter, the better (that’s what she said).
Recently however, the trend hit a proverbial wall, and fashion savants left and right have been looking everywhere for the next “big thing” in men’s fashion from the waist down. The solution?
As Snoop would say, “Roll that shit up.” (GAGGGGGG that was lame -ed).
Not just for 3rd world refugees anymore, highwaters are making their presence felt in the fashion world. Men’s designer Thom Browne has made the look a signature of his collection, and the Michael Cera-esque lead singer of Friendly Fires has also been spotted baring ankle.
And to think… in 1890 showing ankle was the equivalent of Britney Spears flashing some vag. Vag is never bad.
CHANGE.
We’ve come a long way folks. We’ve come a long way.
