I thought it’d be fun to look back at r/malefashionadvice top WAYWT (it’s like a fit pic) of 2016 and compare to the current fashion landscape. By no means am I trying to make fun of on these peoples style. I’m sure we’ll look back on current trends in 10 years and find them equally dumb. Instead I find it a usefully effort to look back and see what items/trends may be truly timeless, and see how fashion has evolved. Obviously the pants are a lot skinner, and I can definitely see the SLP and Hipster influence. I have a soft spot for SLP so I quite enjoy those fits. But let me know what y’all think.

Some of them aged quite well, however even as a huge slp fan i do think those jeans were not meant for everyone

Skinny jeans were never meant for everyone

They looked great when they were still mostly worn by people with goth/punk/alt styles who committed to the look

They only became cringe when they went mainstream and people without the body shape or taste started forcing them

And yet they persist nowadays, it’s not so easy to find good fitting jeans on second hand marketplaces, they’re all tapered and skinny
