It never ceases to amaze me how quickly trends can go in and out of fashion, particularly when it comes to denim. One minute a certain style of denim will be all the rage, and the next minute it will be so last decade. But don't hurry to throw away those pieces because they will always come back. I had one such experience as a freshman in high school that will forever be burned in my memory. The year was 1996 and I had been reading up on upcoming trends, one of which was the jean jacket which had been out of favor since the late 80s. I, of course, wanted to be groundbreaking and purchased myself a stylin' new jean jacket. I very strategically planned its debut and rolled into school with a little swagger in my step that day. As I was sitting at the lunch table in a packed cafeteria, I heard my name yelled by one of the guys in my class. He remarked "the eighties called and they want their jacket back" and the cafeteria erupted in laughter. I was mortified and banished the jacket to the back of the closet. Fast forward two months and suddenly other girls are sporting denim jackets around school. Either I had sparked a trend or was just at the forefront. The moral of the story is to not be afraid to be the leader of the pack even if it means getting called out at the lunch table.
Eighties denim is back in a big way, especially the jean short or jort as they are affectionately called. These shorts come in many shapes, styles and washes so find the pair that best flatters your figure. Here are some of my favorites this season.
