The drainpipe jean has reached cult status over the years, gaining popularity with rockers in the ’60s and punks in the ’70s. Its origins trace back to the 17th century when men’s breeches, the aristocratic predecessor of the drainpipe jeans, were favoured among French royalty. Like many fashion trends, this style spread to other parts of Europe, including the UK.

In the 1800s, these trousers resurfaced as a mark of rebellion during the French Revolution, evolving into what was known as ‘pantaloon.’ Fast forward to the 1950s, when slim jeans emerged during the Beatnik era, favoured by many style icons of the time for their fitted look.

Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, the drainpipe jeans remained relatively simple, which set the stage for personalization during the punk era. Rips, holes, safety pins, and patches became emblematic of punk culture, with bands like The Ramones and The Cult embodying the denim dress code in nearly every album cover and photoshoot.

Today, the drainpipe jean stands as a counterculture wardrobe essential, offering a fitted cut that allows for freedom of movement and a diverse range of styles to choose from.
