# India’s denim fashion now embraces all styles from skinny to oversized 2026-08-09T02:07:27+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet India's denim wardrobe has evolved from following one dominant trend at a time, such as bell-bottoms in the 1970s or skinny jeans in the mid-2000s, to a diverse coexistence of fits and styles. This shift is visible in everyday settings like Mumbai's metro trains and at protest sites in Delhi, where commuters and students wear everything from oversized ripped jeans and dramatic flares to tailored straight fits and Korean-style wide-leg denims. Neerusha Nikhat, a Bollywood stylist and textile historian, told The Federal that trends are driven by aspiration and brand desire to encourage frequent purchases. She noted that multiple generations now occupy the same visual space without anyone appearing unfashionable. ## Coverage - thefederal.com Tags: consumer culture, denim, fashion trends, Indian youth, street style Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/indias-denim-fashion-now-embraces-all-styles-from-skinny-to-oversized/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
