And when everybody is wearing them, the premium denim brands can hardly justify such an &quot;exclusive&quot; price tag any more. It&#39;s telling that the most recent brand to cause anything like a blip on the fashion radar has been Cheap Monday, hailing from Sweden and coming in at just \u00a340.

However, this fashionable &quot;it&quot; brand is also very difficult to wear &#8211; with their drainpipe cut, only (male) fashion students look good in Mondays.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes that jeans are going out of fashion and back to what they look like: everyday clothes for cold weather:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nOf course, nobody is going to stop buying jeans altogether. &quot;Jeans are something you have to wear,&quot; confirms Harford, &quot;like knickers.&quot; And as autumn approaches, the denim drawer beckons once more. Of course, this season it is all about baggy, or, to use the industry&#39;s lingo &quot;boyfriend cut&quot;, as they look like you have nicked them from your partner.
