Grandpa Jeans: The Potent Trend That’s Taking Off

Our grandparents clearly know what’s up in the style
department. After all, their beloved trends are
basically going mainstream these days. In fact, grandma
dressing is increasing in popularity for fall 2019: We’re
talking tweed, knee-high socks, and so on. But grandma isn’t the
only one making waves—grandpa is too. Yep, I can’t thumb
through Instagram these days without spotting an It girl wearing
“grandpa” jeans.

The grandpa jean silhouette first cropped up in a noteworthy way
last season when brands like Sandy Liang debuted
a style that’s basically in between “mom”
jeans and baggy fits. Basically, this denim cut is straight,
tapered, looser in shape (in that ironic “uncool” but cool kind
of way), and often features details you might have seen on your
grandpa’s go-to jeans, like a carpenter handle on the side.

To show you what we mean, we rounded up a range of fashion girls
wearing the potent denim trend you’re about to see everywhere.
And if you’re inspired to give them a go to infuse a forward
twist into your fall outfit game, we shopped out a few of our
favorites we think you’ll be into as well.

Style tip: Team grandpa jeans with another
ironic trend like a loose Nike pullover. Pointed slingbacks bring
an unexpected feel to the overall vibe.

Style tip: Tuck an architectural blouse into
your loose jeans for a forward night-out fit.
