Whiskering on Jeans

just4me — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 14:53:10 GMT

Isn't this trend over? Saw some cute D&C jeggings this a.m., but the whiskering is unappealing to me. Always has been, but I thought it would be a passing phase...

Edit: I don!t like the frayed edges either...

Its one of those fashion things that comes and goes, but never completely disappearing.

To bad that spoiled the jeggings for you.

I had hoped whiskering and the highlight fading was past. Most influencers are suggesting a dark jean. Crossing fingers!

Yuck, I really don't like the look of whiskering. I think it's still around though.

I don't care about influencers or what they are saying. They are just regular people who have opinions and some are paid spokespeople. I think whiskering and fading are past being a trend. If you like whiskering, fine. If you don't like it, fine. It's like embellished jeans. You are free to take them or leave them but they aren't a trend that's going to be over anytime soon. The thing I love about fashion now is that the concept of "in style" doesn't exist anymore. Women don't wear what they are told to wear now. There are endless selections and we are free to develop our own personal sense of style.

I don't like it either. Nor the fading and distressing. Just not my style.

For jeans, I'm strictly dark indigo and black ... regular length, straight or wide leg.

I like it and I like the frayed hem. I think there are those that just prefer the classic clean look as opposed to those that live the "live-in" look. There are enough choices for all.

Fine if you don't like the influencers, but they do and have a profound effect on sales. They coined the term "capsule wardrobe" and helped lift up the company "Lily Silk", and Veronica Beard, among other things.

@rockygems123 @ECBG @@I have those jeans and like them too. Like the substantial denim too, not so super stretchy but just enough.

@ECBG . You're welcome! Maybe there's different interpretations of stove pipe but I think these qualify? @Thats Me what do you think since you have these too?

I had to go Google whiskering jeans. LOL!!! I had no idea what it was. I always thought that was just wrinkled up jeans from wearing them so tight? I don't like the look since like I said it looks like your pants are tight?

I prefer no whiskering on my dark wash jeans, but it's ok if it's subtle on a medium or lighter wash denim. I think whiskering brings attention to that part of your legs which you may or may not want to highlight.

No, it's not gone. I actually like it.

I think that ( a few) dark jeans will pop out for fall collections.

I don't mind some whiskering on lighter shades of jeans. Real dark washes or black, no.
To each their own. Do what pleases you, but I don't think the whiskering will be going away completely.
I don't need someone to tell me what I should wear, or what color to wear, I would think we all know very well what "trends" or "colors" suit us, but perhaps I'm wrong about that.

No thanks to whiskering, faded, frayed, holey, distressed, previously worn, etc. in any of my new clothing.

No, influencers did NOT coin the term "capsule wardrobe.

Actually Susie Faux did long before the term "influencer" was even around @ECBG . She had her own line of clothing back in the 1970's in London.
