Denim Trends And Fashion
It has been over a decade since most of us last purchased a pair of stonewashed jeans. I believe, sooner than later, Stonewashed jeans will become very popular again.
Why do I feel this way? I am beginning to see the repetitive nature of society and trends. Has anyone been listening to Lady Gaga, or pop radio in general lately? Hello!
In the 80s it was all about ripped, distressed, stonewashed denim. Throw some bleach on a pair of Stonewashed Levis, tear ‘em to shreds, and throw a big time house party while the parents are outta town. Clearly the 80s are about to come back full scale as she continues her chart dominance and further solidifies her position as what one might argue is the most “fashion minded person in the world”! And while that perspective is certainly debatable, its reasonably logical nonetheless. Alas, I digress – back to repetitive trending and society.
The first cell phone was a huge brick, hardly portable and functionally close to inept. Compare to the iPad. A bigger, clumsier device that is essentially worthless, but hey, “big is back” so everyone is gobbling it up like hot cakes. This is the interesting circle we see with technology, fashion, and other materialistic objects that permeate our daily existence. What was once cool is no longer, until the new thing that replaced it is no longer cool, and if nothing else can replace that, the old thing becomes cool again.
And therein lies my theory behind the resurgence of stonewashed denim. If something was once cool, rest assured it will become cool again between 2 and 3 decades later. And some things are timeless – they never become un-cool. Stonewashed denim unfortunately is not one of those things but if it were, rest assured I would be wearing Stonewashed cut off denim shorts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Hence, I am fairly certain Stonewashed denim is coming back! I promise you. If you wait another minute, you might miss out on all the fantastic stonewashed items you can have at great discount stores like Target or TJ Maxx or your favorite thrift store before they get wise and start up-selling all of their old stonewashed clothing!
