Seriously, why haven't Acid Wash Jeans come back into style?

At least for men, I think they still look pretty damn good.

Because they look appalling. Plus the process to produce that effect is environmentally unsound.

Because look at them

I buy what I like. Don’t really care if in style or not. I go for quality and buy to once type clothes for work and for more casual just buy brands I like an know how they fit. I hate going to stores so online is always preferred.

Pretty sure they are trying. Saw several dark acid wash styles at Von Maur and Nordstrom a couple of months ago.

They were ugly back then. Ugly now.

What is this "into style" phrase that you mentioned? Meaningless to me...

If I wore jeans, I would still wear them.
I only wear shorts and flip flops though.

Wear what you like. 80’s trends are popular because or kids nostalgia for their parents youth. I would never wear massive shoulder pads or acid wash, or jelly shoes because I hated them back then. But I love seeing youngsters rock what was popular in my day, especially the rocker look and tees.

The acid-wash process used chlorine and stones weakening the material. Why buy something designed to wear out faster? Shit is expensive enough as it is and not made as well as anymore already.

To be fair, I was looking for pants and stopped into American Eagle. Almost all of their jeans on the shelf now. One pre-ripped.
speedincuzihave2poop@reddit
and to be fair also, The pre-ripped style is starting to come to an end now as well. It's also a much cheaper process than acid washing.

I think I have an acid-washed denim jacket somewhere around here. I'm ready!

Trolkarlen@reddit
