Bootcut jeans are apparently making a comeback that nobody wants

Please don't do this.

Welp, looks like bootcut jeans are back, according to a GQ article that claims as much.

Though people have been quick to step in and renounce GQ's latest style prediction, taking to Twitter to air their many frustrations with this alleged fashion revival.

The biggest qualm is that example of "bootcut jeans" in the article's photo is more akin to the bell bottoms of the early aughts than actual bootcut jeans. Not to mention, the person sporting them looks fucking miserable.

I mean, just look at him:

Bootcut jeans are bad.

People have not been shy about expressing their dismay, mocking the unattractive jean form, and emphasizing the importance of ending this supposed trend before it starts to catch on.

Fortunately, I don't think anyone needs to worry about seeing bootcut jeans out in the wild anytime soon.
