They've been around for decades, but lately black skinny jeans have been making a huge comeback, thanks in no small part to the resurgence of the alternative scene in popular culture. It seems like almost every time you switch on the television to watch music channels, this icon fashion item is right in your face! It's almost like everyone and his dog owns a pair, and why not? They're inexpensive, comfortable, and you can wear them with practically anything! No wonder they are becoming more and more popular.
Perhaps the most famous example of black skinny jeans as a style icon is when the late music legend Michael Jackson wore them in the 1980's, during live performances and of course on his timeless promo videos. At the same time, skinny fit jeans were becoming part of everyday wear for other music acts, especially for punk rock bands. In more recent years, just about every kind of rock band on the planet has (usually more than one) member who regularly wears this iconic fashion item, which are also known by the abbreviation "skinnies".
However the reasons for their popularity do not end there. Skinnies are actually very practical and fuss-free as an item of clothing. And as I mentioned earlier, one of their plus points is their versatile because they can look great when worn with just about any item of clothing, or accessory. A classic look can be achieved by wearing with them with flat baseball shoes such as Converse Allstars, and studded belt, and a retro/vintage styled band t-shirt. You can add to the image by including some funky coloured braces, or customizing your black skinny jeans with studs for example. It's easy to find all kinds of studs (they come on all shapes and sizes) by checking out eBay and other online shopping sites. They are easily applied, and it's a cheap and fun way to personalise your clothing to give a unique image. If you want to get really adventurous, you could try adding embroidered patters to the pockets of your jeans.
So there you have it, an introduction to a classic and iconic fashion icon. This could be the start of a new you!
