All you Levi’s® lovers and denim devotees – get your jean-clad booty in here!
Lipstiq was recently invited to an intimate styling session at Levi’s Pavilion, where dis bish had the golden opportunity to have a one-on-one session with stylist Ethan Chu, who lead a short styling session on the many ways one can style their denims for a more cool and chic look. The session was extremely informative, as Ethan gave out a few tips on how to spice up a boring outfit with some denim magic.
The styling session was held in conjunction with the launch of SilverTab™, which was originally launched by the Levi’s® brand about a decade earlier, and quickly became the go-to ‘90s collection thanks to its baggy styles, which inspired hip-hop and the skateboard scene. Just as Levi’s® Orange Tab established the counterculture look of the 1960s and ‘70s, Levi’s® SilverTab™ was the official uniform of the 1990s. And now, after a brief reboot in 2018 – and a Levi’s® SecondHand capsule in 2020 – SilverTab™ is officially back for Fall 2022 with a brand new oversized, 1990s-inspired collection.
The new ’22 collection brings back not only the designs and fits of the original ’90s SilverTab™ collection, but also the era’s iconic attitude. The line comprises a variety of oversized jeans, Truckers, and shorts, as well as oversized graphic tees and tops, plus accessories, all of which evoke memories of the ’90s and have the original silver-coloured tab on the pocket of the denim and the SilverTab™ backpatch.
Defined by their loose, baggy silhouettes, part of the popularity of the original Levi’s® SilverTab™ line was the fact that few mainstream brands were offering similar fits at the time. It had the enormous appearance that hip-hop musicians and skateboarders were going for in the 1990s, which gave it precisely the kind of cultural cache that characterised the era’s fashion. Loose and baggy, low and constricted, faded and washed, with perhaps one or two torn hems – it’s hard to imagine anything more uniquely ‘90s than that.
As part of the new 2022 collection, Levi’s® recreated the same loose, baggy fits – not to mention those perfectly faded washes – that capture the original ‘90s attitude, but with a modern feel. Standout pieces include the ’94 Baggy SilverTab™ jean for women and both the SilverTab™ Loose jean and SilverTab™ Straight jean for men.
Both arae available in a variety of indigo washes (including a unique Green Machine wash on the men’s Loose), and have the distinctive backpatch with SilverTab™ logo over the Levi’s® Two Horse pull. They also include the traditional silver-coloured tab on the back pocket.
The jeans in the collection also get matching oversized SilverTab™ Truckers, which feature the silver-coloured tab and SilverTab™ backpatch. For women, there’s an extra hit of ‘90s nostalgia thanks to the SilverTab™ Overall, a classic Levi’s® denim overall that comes in an oversized SilverTab™ fit. Also included in the collection is a range of graphic tees featuring the original SilverTab™ logo, as well as a plaid SilverTab™ Oversized Shirt for men and a striped SilverTab™ Loose Shirt for women.
A Grommet Strap Belt with Roller Buckle for women, a Double Prong strap belt for men, and a soft corduroy Bucket Hat are just a few of the accessories that receive the full ’90s SilverTab treatment. Overall, it’s the ideal collection to add a dash of nostalgia from the 1990s to some contemporary oversized fashion.
The SilverTab™ collection is available at levi.com.my, all Levi’s® stores, and selected department stores nationwide. The Levi’s® Tailor shop can be found at Lot 346A, 3rd Floor, Suria KLCC; and Lot 3.20.00 Pavilion Bukit Jalil.
