The story of Belly-Button-High Jeans
After years of low-rise, the waistband climbed and kept climbing. Belly-Button-High Jeans were baggy at the thigh, light-washed and usually frayed at the ankle. Paired with a cropped tee and white sneakers, the look took over every hallway. Parents pulled their old jeans out of storage, and teens borrowed them immediately.
Teens who borrowed Mom's old jeans discovered the pockets still held movie stubs from her own high school days.
