Stone Washed Jeans


Horrible jeans

Nasty jeans were in - as long as they weren't flared anything went. In fact, the straighter the better. Jeans were often so tight at the ankles that wearing any sort of boot under them was quite tricky.

There were drainpipe jeans, straight jeans, jeans with paint splattered on them, jeans with sparkly bits, stonewashed jeans. And if you were very, very cool, you had a jeans jacket to go with them!
