In the 1970s, skinny jeans were a sign of rebellion for fashion-conscious renegades, but when they resurfaced in the early 2000s, they were a trend everyone (and their moms) jumped on. If you wore them, you had a major sense of style. And when you think back to your first pair, this is probably what they looked like. (Thanks, 2011 Cameron Diaz!) Light-washed denim was practically your uniform in high school since, well, you didn't really have many other options at that point.
