Levi’s Taps Into Old-School Denim Styles For Their ‘Archives Reinvented’ Fall Winter 2022 Collection

By now, you should be well aware that skinny jeans, the pride of millennials and the reigning silhouette for beyond a decade, have been unceremoniously dethroned. So what’s left in its wake? More forgiving baggy cuts and relaxed denim, which Levi’s® is all about this season — not that these were ever out of style though.

 

The denim brand turns towards the past for inspiration, particularly for this “Archives Reinvented” Fall/Winter 2022 collection, which touches on popular and old-school Levi’s® fits and styles of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and early 2000s. The materials, techniques, texture, and silhouettes are definitely updated for a modern wardrobe though, so rest assured, you’ll be able to flaunt these fresh cuts without having to dig too deep into your mom’s closet.

For women, these’s a new companion to the mom jean — the Baggy Dad, a mid-rise cut that rests on the hips, while featuring a looser seat with a slight tapered leg. There’s also the Baggy Boot, which features a similar top block and loose seat style, but with a leg that is loose all the way down to the hem.

LEVI’S® BAGGY DAD HOLD MY PURSE, $129.90 ; LEVI’S® BAGGY DAD Z5993 MEDIUM INDIGO DESTRUCTED, $129.90.

Borrowing again from the boys is also the new Dad Utility, which features a looser fit, but this time, with a straight leg inspired by classic carpenter pants. If you like your high-rise cuts though, Levi’s® does an old-school take on the 80s Mom jean, with a cut that sits high on the waist, has a loose fit, and a tapered hem.

LEVI’S® 551Z AUTHENTIC STRAIGHT GOTTA GET HOME, $129.90 ; LEVI’S® 551Z AUTHENTIC STRAIGHT RINSE AND TURN UP, $99.90 ; LEVI’S® 551Z AUTHENTIC STRAIGHT Z0887 LIGHT INDIGO WORN IN, $149.90.

The men, on the other hand, can enjoy straighter cuts and more relaxed fits, whether that includes classics such as the 501® Original or more modern interpretations. This season though, look out for the 50s Straight, unique for its wider leg that’s straight out of the 50s era, though with 80s-cool.

Then, there are also tapered styles within their line-up, including the popular Stay Baggy and Stay Loose jeans, as well as the 501® Taper, a tapered-leg version of the Levi’s® classic.
