We’ve already dissected the hell out of Kendrick Lamar’s unbelievable Tremendous Bowl halftime present, from his superb backup dancers to his determination to finish his highly effective set with a mic drop-worthy efficiency of “Not Like Us.” However whereas Kendrick’s particular company included greats like Serena Williams, SZA and Samuel L. Jackson, one of many actual stars of the present that folks can’t appear to cease speaking about are his flared or bootleg minimize denims. After we say folks can’t cease speaking concerning the denims, we imply ladies who’ve been sporting these denims in recent times with sambas and pointed boots, however as for males—crickets.
Kendrick’s very long time stylist Taylor McNeill dressed him in a pair of flared denims from Celine for the massive present. The Marco Denims go for $1200 on the model’s web site. Some, who liked Lamar’s look, assume he’s bringing again a pattern.
“Each man ought to instantly be ordering flared denims,” wrote one particular person on X.
Some even thought Kendrick’s style alternative made his Drake diss minimize even deeper.
“Destroying a person whereas carrying flared denims is throughout diabolical,” wrote one X person.
Kendrick isn’t the one star who has been noticed within the model. Boot minimize denims have been music mogul and trendsetter Pharrell Williams’s go-to currently, and he has popped out at film premieres and Paris Vogue Week runway exhibits in varied pairs of flares.
So has Philadelphia Eagles vast receiver DaVonta Smith.
And we are able to’t omit the OG, rocker Lenny Kravitz, who has been serving us in flared leg pants since virtually the start of time. And looking out rattling good whereas doing it.
However women, if you happen to’re frightened that the person in your life is perhaps coming to your closet, you possibly can breathe a sigh of reduction. Most mainstream retailers aren’t able to get guys on board with boot minimize denims simply but. Dishevelled, cargo and straight-leg model denims nonetheless make up most of H&M, GAP and Levi’s stock.
We also needs to level out that not everybody was feeling Kendrick’s look, and the web wouldn’t be the web if folks didn’t have a number of issues to say about it.
Take a look at this TikToker who did a parody efficiency mocking Kendrick’s Tremendous Bowl denims:
One other person on X warned different guys to not attempt to imitate Lamar’s look in the event that they don’t have “the charisma or the temerity to drag off flared denims.”
Whereas we spent hours looking for guys who needed to take a stand on the boot minimize debate, we had a tough time discovering any males who cared sufficient to remark – which implies they’re in all probability completely satisfied of their 501s proper now.
We guess the ethical of the story right here is, if you happen to ain’t Kendrick Lamar or Lenny Kravitz, guys, put on flared denims with warning.
