Warning: we are about to discuss skinny jeans. And no, not in a “thank God that’s over” type of way. If you were an avid follower of trends between roughly 2006 and 2015, there’s a good chance you’ve spent the past few years praying that this particular fit of jeans never, ever enters the trend cycle again. Regretfully, we have to inform you that your pleas were ignored by the fashion gods. Skinny jeans are officially back.

But we’ll be the first to admit that… choices were made.
