The 1950s
The style of pants originated in the 1950s, with popular stars such as Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, Zorro and Gene Autry, Marilyn Monroe, and Sandra Dee wearing their pants very slim to the ankle.
Skinny jeans became most notable with country music stars and with the birth of rock and roll in the 1950s, when Elvis Presley donned slim-fitting jeans and shocked the country.
Skinny jeans and rock 'n' roll were inextricably linked to create the bad boy image that remains today.
Skinny jeans were also worn by numerous rock bands, including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Drainpipe jeans (as they were then called) were popular in the punk subculture of the late 1970s.
Worn by many bands and scene leaders such as The Clash, Ramones, The Sex Pistols and were sold by the revolutionary shop Sex, run by Vivienne Westwood. The tight fit trousers were often customised with bondage-style zips or patches of other material, and were often worn tucked into industrial-style boots such as Dr. Martens.
