Cowboy boots: how to wear the trendy shoe without looking like Woody from 'Toy Story'
What a trip the one with the
cowboys
.
Think about it for a second: we may be talking about the garment that has best adapted to the fate of the times without having to give up (at least not too much) its original essence.
Although jackets and dresses, to give two quick examples, have been changing their contexts of appearance and their lines so much that if those of the 20s were at a party with those of the 50s, they would not even recognize each other as equals.
However, the cowboy thing is another story.
One that has made them the most popular pants in the world and that, of course, continues to adapt to
trends
, such as those of
autumn-winter 2022/2023.
To understand what jeans are in fashion right now, you have to take into account what the general trends of the season are, and those can be divided into several large groups.
First, there is the unstoppable return of
the 2000s aesthetic, aka Y2K
, which has made low-rise pants more and more visible both in stores and in
street style
.
But it is not the only thing that comes from then: the extreme washes and the
increasingly pronounced
bells (which were rescued from the 70s) should not be lost sight of either.
On the other hand, we have that
'old money' aesthetic
that is in an absolutely opposite direction to the previous one: here what rules is classicism.
For this reason, straight, high-waisted trousers are as necessary as cashmere sweaters or white shirts: everything is aligned with responsible consumption (and these are pieces that do not go out of style), but also with the image of
normative elegance
. that it can protect during troubled times (because it is usually linked to trust and power).
Although these two ideas are key to understanding what is happening with trends right now, they are not the only trending jeans in autumn-winter 2022/2023.
In fact, here are a few that you can find in stores right now.

Low-key 2000s jeans: the low-rise bootcut
You'll be used to the term in English because that's how they're presented in stores, but just so there's no room for doubt:
low rise and boot cut.
These are jeans that rest on the hip area and have a low
flared
finish that makes them perfect so that both ankle boots and boots with a slightly higher cane can fit comfortably inside them.
The washed
touch
, like this one from Zara, is what completes the wink at the turn of the millennium (how can we forget those exaggerated fades that could even be colored?).
DR
Classic straight jeans
They are
a silhouette that never fails
and that, in fact, can even be used for not very formal situations that require something more than just a pair of shoes, such as a dinner or a work meeting.
They go with absolutely everything for that
neutral and polished image
that they can have, especially if you find the perfect shade for you (at Mango, for example, you have up to eight to choose from).
DR
cargo jeans
Yes, they exist, and they have the silhouette you (maybe) love and the versatility of denim.
Wearing them and thinking about the hip-hop aesthetic of
the 90s and 2000s
is all one, but you can mix it with more classic and restrained sweaters (as they do at H&M) so as not to fall into a total monothematic look.
Of course, they are purely informal and
decontextualizing them is not always easy.
DR
The low rise wide leg jeans
They look essentially like the cargo but are a little less visually compromised, as you can see from this COS model.
The
slouchy
effect is essential, as well as that the denim is soft and not too rigid so that it fits well.
They are informal again, but do not rule out placing a shirt as a jacket on top.
DR
The culotte jeans
They are going to be great if you want to try another silhouette within the classic aesthetic, because, in addition, these have a
retro
essence that brings them closer to the lady and naive than to the polished and minimalist.
They go with everything again, including soft jumpers and heeled
mary janes
, as they do in & Other Stories.
