Pilates, low-rise jeans and Kardashian weight loss: Is ‘skinny’ making a comeback?

• Experts worry this normalizes disordered eating and over-exercising under the guise of “health.”
• Body standards are constantly evolving to stay exclusive. Here’s why we need to ignore them.
• On TikTok, the “skinny” trend is coming back with low-rise jeans and weight loss workouts.

What it means to be “beautiful” in popular culture is constantly changing. The purported ideal image of the ’20s and ’30s was the lean frame of a flapper girl. In the ’60s, it was the “blonde bombshell” Marilyn Monroe figure, embracing curves amid the era’s sexual revolution. Unsurprisingly, the standards reverted back to a slender, supermodel-like physique in the ’90s, and with the rise of social media, sexy curves came back into style with surgical butt lifts and strength training to emulate the Kardashians’ trademark look.
