Are jeans with pocket designs outdated?

From flipping a few pages of recent blogposts and looking at jeans worn by many celebrities, i can't help but notice that nobody really wears those jeans with big R or crowns on pockets anymore. Most of the jeans pockets do not have any design or logo/pattern nowadays, it's mostly all about the wash, distress and cuts. IMHO, I think they look better this way anyway since it makes the jeans more streamlined and not as tacky, so i hope this trend continues and pocket designs don't come back anytime soon. What are your thought on this?

Lol...well rock and republic is extremely outdated. First off they went bankrupt and will now be sold for $39 at khols. The denim quality always sucked anyways. I wouldn't say that all pocket designs are outdated. Look a Diesel for instance. Diesel is as popular as ever but has more subtle pockets and not a big corny r. True Religion doesn't really do anything new besides new horseshoes. Diesel is without a doubt the best jeans ever made as far as looks are concerned. They also are great quality and they come in different lengths which rr and tr really don't very often. Diesel is always doing something new. Hands down they are the best. Also, jeans like j brand with no pocket designs at all are blah. I know the denim is quality but they don't really look that great. The only plain pocket jeans I could see myself wearing would be prps, Dior homme, or balmain motor styled jeans.
Anyways to sum up, yes big "r" pockets are horrendously gay and hVe often been confused by people not up on premium denim with roca wear. Now that's embarrassing.

For guys, maybe...I hope they're not outdated for girls though! I love my blingy pockets :)

I think it's time for a change. Blingy pockets have become a bit like fins on 1960's Chevrolets.. they just got more and more outrageous until people realised they looked not futuristic but anachronistic.  I'm no designer but i just think it's a too easy option to have fancy decorated pockets rather than really try some nice stand back and think designs. Just my view as an older  male!

 

While I'm here, I have a question. What are denim leggings??  I came across them when looking for something light but in denim for my girlfriend. I saw  FC ones on this page-

but I don't want to make a fashion faux pas!icon_smile.gif

 

So... for Summer, when it's hot, is it ok (ie fashionable) for a young lady (30) to wear denim leggings, or have they some kind of taboo attached to them?  I've not seen many about in England, except in Holiday Camps by the Seaside.

 

Thanks

I work in a boutique and see women wearing them all of the time. They are called jeggings and there really is no difference in the way they look and a pair of jeans. It would probably depend on if your girl liked super skinny jeans or not.
