What The “Death” Of Skinny Jeans Means To Fat Women

Much like the year that preceded it, little about 2021 so far has felt expected. Never could I have predicted that the U.K. would still be locked down nearly a year after the first coronavirus restrictions went into place, or that Donald Trump would get permanently banned from Twitter. Even more shocking has been Gen Z’s declaration that skinny jeans are dead (along with side partings and the laugh-cry emoji). Yes, barely two months into the new year, Zoomers on TikTok have proclaimed precisely this — signaling the end of an era that began when this (apparently) ancient millennial entered high school 16 years ago.
