The world of jeans, safe to say, has an overwhelming range of silhouettes, including baggy, bootcut, straight-fit, barrel, and skinny styles. But a new type of denim bottom, square jeans, has entered the fashion conversation, and it is unlike anything seen before.
The new variant of the everyday wardrobe staple has been promoted by Caroline Vazzana, a New York-based fashion influencer who has contributed her style sensibility to publications such as InStyle, Teen Vogue, and Marie Claire, and who also founded the Making It in Manhattan brand.
A video of her flaunting the jeans has amassed 4.4 million views on TikTok, though netizens’ reactions have leaned more toward bewilderment than a desire to embrace the design.
