Low Waisted and Relaxed: G-Star’s Original Elwood Reimagined

Yesterday, the 11th of February, saw the release and continuous upgrade of the legendary G-Star Elwood jeans. On days that Jaden Smith is not wearing headpieces replicating houses, he stuns in the Elwoods – adding the playful jeans into his esoteric personal style. A well-loved piece since 1996, the Elwood has gone through many aesthetic transformations. A 3-D exploration of denim, these jeans have reached icon status – embellishing the bodies of many artists. Following the Glamcult x G-Star Elwood capsule collection characterised by unconventional lines, shapes, and playful trompe-l’œil, the new release of the jeans garners suspense for their 30th anniversary next year.

It is with no doubt that these jeans will dominate the landscape of the Amsterdam music scene – casual but not, made for people who want to look like they drive motorcycles but don’t have licenses, someone who does not leave their place without 3 usb sticks in their jean pockets. A stroll to a cafe or a set behind decks at the hottest party, the revamped G-Star Elwood’s is adaptable to any situation the heart desires. The slouching contours exude confidence grounded in comfort. Coveted, these jeans have undoubtedly inspired an era of denim that has no intention of stopping with an updated loose-fit and low-rise – staying relevant to the asymmetrical lines and shapes popular today with accordion-like folds, while simultaneously emulating the classic 00s aesthetic. The new androgynous iteration of the G-Star Elwood will be available at selected retailers and g-star.com now!
