“I haven’t worn jeans for two years, this is what I wear instead:'
For most people, you would be hard-pressed to go a week without slipping your feet through a pair of jeans, wriggling them up your legs, and doing that little jump step when they are over your bum to settle the waist band in exactly the right position. I was that person. Not just on occasions, I was that person every day. Throughout my early twenties I had a uniform of sorts: jeans that weren’t quite skinny jeans but weren’t quite straight leg, a roll neck and a pair of Adidas Stan Smiths.
In a bold and unchartered move, I decided to wear a tube skirt – a black one with a slit up the side and a lace trim – to London Fashion Week. In what I considered to be a wild turn of events, I had voluntarily put on a form-fititng item of clothing to not only be seen in public in but to wear in front of hundreds of ready and waiting photographers. In an even wilder turn of event, the skirt was so comfortable it bolstered my confidence more than I could have ever imagined.
A few months later and I had changed the way I dressed completely. My eight pairs of jeans now lay at the bottom of my wardrobe buried under every tube skirt with a slit up the side I could find. In need of more jeans substitutes I hunted down ‘fun’ trousers – almost all of which sported an elasticated waistband too – a leather pair, a snakeskin pair of flares, trousers with giant bell bottoms, ones with ruffle hem, and pleated trousers.
