Justin Timberlake is well-known today as one of the designers behind the denim-heavy label William Rast. But a decade ago JT was the lead singer of *NSYNC, and as one of the most popular boy bands of the late 1990’s they were front and center in the denim fashions of the era. Whether wearing a pair with a bleached racing stripe for a promotional shot, or the infamous denim-on-denim fiasco with then girlfriend Britney Spears, Timberlake gravitated toward baggier style jeans. At the end of his time in *NSYNC Justin was already beginning to wear a more fitted silhouette, headed toward the fashion forward style he is known for today. Justin Timberlake has been a denim icon since he first became famous, though thankfully he’s ditched the bleached jeans!
