Pegged Jeans

katiepegged.jpgPegged Jeans (Style) Notable style of wearing jeans in the 1980s, involved folding the bottom of your jeans leg over, then rolling it up, so that they appeared "pegged." Other regional expressions for the same style included "pinch rolled" and, in my neck of the woods, "prep rolled," referring to the kind of douches who used to wear their jeans in such a way. Women who wore their jeans this way often also had Jordache purses.

We called it 'tight-rolled' in my neck of the woods.

That's what we called it, too.

Ugh. Never, ever again. Some things were just meant to die, like Old Yeller and Pauly Shore's career.

Why are fashionistas suddenly looking to Katie Holmes for style tips?! Hadn't we all decided that she is crazy and/or brainwashed? This is probably just some sad attempt by Tom Cruise to re-create his glory days! Damn him…

Oh no, this moron would methodically safety pin the peg into said jeans and then roll them up and THEN put them on to ensure proper and long-lasting peg rollage.

The one and only time I wore jeans like this was for my high school's 80's spirit day. I felt like such a goob I wound up unrolling them after first period.

I never thought anyone woul buy tapered jeans again on purpose, but then again...I never thought anyone would wear leggings again either...

Oh fashion gods, what other stumpifying delights do you have in store for us?

Way better than walking around with your butt crack showing, or so low that your can see your other hair, or with your nasty underwear hanging out, they call it sagging...I applaud her for being a trend setter!!! And for not being afraid to be different and being a lady!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!
