Skinny jeans are canceled, Gen-Z says. But is the skintight trend really dead? (clothes, thin)

I used to watch Project Runway with my daughter (she was a huge fan) and Tim Gunn was the only expert who made sense to me. I loved his style, his common sense approach to fashion and he was always helpful to the wanna be designers. Now that my daughter is living on her own I haven't watched the show - not sure if it's still on - but if it is I would watch it just for Tim Gunn : )
I don't think it is on anymore....if it is, I don't get it because I don't get cable.
He also used to say, look in the mirror before you go out....turn around....do you look good? Very common sense advice.....
I love those short little jackets (fellow Amazon here). The ones that I kept around from the last time 'round are still stylish as are my longer vintage velvet blazers. I style them in different ways and often receive compliments when wearing them.
It's one of the advantages of clothing styles for grown ups not changing overmuch since the late nineties-early 2000s.
As far as jeans are concerned, it's difficult enough for me to find ones that have a long enough inseam (and don't gap at the waistline), so I don't really worry overmuch about whether or not my close-fitting straight and bootcut jeans are still stylish enough to be worn in public.
Clearly different styles look better or worse on different people. If you like short little jackets, that's great - I am all for you being able to find them and buy them. However, they do NOT look good on me so I don't want to find them and buy them, and I certainly don't want them to be all that's available. That's my gripe.

Ah. Good thing that longer blazers are back in style, too. I'm seeing both short and long jackets in stores, online, and in magazines so they're definitely a thing.
I'm also seeing skinny(ish) jeans on the same sites that are selling the newer, baggier jeans--they're just being styled a bit differently now. As a typical Gen-Xer, my reaction to what TikTok and Gen-Z thinks of clothes is "whatever." Besides, they're wearing *my* clothes--only most of theirs aren't nearly as well made as mine were back when they were current the first time 'round.
What's nice about current fashions as there's a broad range of what's considered to be stylish, so each individual can choose to wear what suits them best.
What I want to know is this - when will men's suits stop being made to look like last year's Easter suit on a preteen boy? BRING BACK CARY GRANT SUITS!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the laugh! I so agree with you!
Being a hockey fan, I cringe when they show the players walking into the arena these days. They're insanely fit young men and they look silly in suits that don't have quite enough fabric.

I never see short little jackets in stores. Everything seems to be long these days. Most of my coats, jackets, and sweaters go down to at least mid thigh I'm 5'7, so it's not like these are clothes that are made to be shorter and just don't fit correctly.
Or maybe I'm just picturing something different then what you're talking about. Are you wanting everything to be at least knee length? When I hear "short little jacket" I picture a shrug or cropped jacket that was popular in the early 2000s.
In France, the hot trend for Spring and Summer is baggy, high waisted jeans.
Anyone interested in classic French style should subscribe to Marie-Anne Lecoeur's youtube channel. She is in her mid fifties and not too trendy or too young regarding fashions.
