Compared to its more trendy cousins – the skinny jeans, the dad jeans, and even the flare jeans – the bootleg cut denim might not have caused a big dent in the style department. But it is precisely this anti-fashion status and reputation as a wardrobe perennial that give the style appeal. Plus, the cut, which tapers at the knee and then loosens gently to accommodate boots underneath, does boast a certain tailored appearance which means they’re perfect for pairing with your dressy tops and jackets. Not convinced? Just ask designers like Hedi Slimane at Celine and Brandon Maxwell for Spring/Summer 2020.
