I wouldn’t say I never step out of my comfort zone but when it comes to jeans I really only wear one brand and style; Abercrombie & Fitch, Skinny jeans. Year after year while trends came and went I knew I could always trust my Abercrombie & Fitch skinny jeans to go with any sweater, flannel, blouse or t-shirt + riding boots.
Then Covid-19 hit and quarantine was in full swing. I hardly ever wore my Skinny jeans. I don’t remember exactly when but at some point it became cool for the Gen Z-ers of TikTok to start mocking us millenials and our beloved skinny jeans. This new wave of insecurity creeped over me, do I look stupid in this outfit? I did some serious soul searching in the mirror but I came up inconclusive.
I’ve tried a few new styles from A&F such as “Mom” and “Ankle Straight” but time and time again I’ve come back to my beloved and trusted “Skinny” jeans and THAT’S OK! Wear what makes you feel your absolute best and ignore whatever nonsense the younger generation is saying.
I had so much fun on this shoot with my best friend and fabulous photographer, Sam Febrizio. She has a huge portfolio up her sleeve and recently started her own Photography venture with her twin, Emily! Check them out at @two.drifters.photo.
