Skinny pants are a satanic device solely made to torture the inappropriately shaped
We're deep into the baggy era mate

I remember in 8th grade, my buddy got the first pair of JNCOs in our friend group. He was so excited, he goes “AND JUST LOOK WHAT I CAN FIT IN THE POCKETS!” and proceeded to pull out an entire 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew.

Unfortunately JNCO went out of business 7 years ago; shame, really - it could have made for a great moonshot stock bet! 😅

funny how so many brands have tried to break into the denim market with $150+ jeans, yet levi’s is still the go-to after 100 years. even more so now that they make the $20 levi’s signature brand at walmart-- just as good as the “real” ones and even more comfortable

I’ve been using baggy jeans for around 20 years now, I don’t intend to stop. Fuck the fashion police!
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I wish I’d held onto all my JNCOs instead of donating them all 20 years ago ….
My son also wishes I’d held onto all of em.

I’m a relaxed-fit man. Occasionally the rest of society aligns with my taste.

Ive been wearing loose fit Dickies and Vans checkerboard slip ons for about 25 years now.
Being cool as fuck has never gone out of style.
infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
Vans Slip-On Pros are basically the sharks of the shoe world: They hit optimal design a very long time ago, have barely changed since, and continue to remain one of the most effective species out there.

Pants that fit?

3 cheers for figuring out that being un-trendy means you’re in style twice as much as anyone shifting their wardrobe…
But also 5 stars cause you never gave any fucks either way anyway.
DandomRude@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I never thought that the absurd baggy pants I wore back in school would ever come back into style because they were truly awful.
But hey, what do I know - now they’re back and so am I … How do you do, fellow kids!?!

It’s the ciiiiircle of pants
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’ve always rocked regular or baggy. It’s a comfort and practicality thing. Having skinny jeans takes away the point of denim being durable and warm, something it needs to be loose for.
shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I feel colder in loose jeans. air gets in.
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Aye, but in colder temperatures tight denim cools over leaving no air pocket to trap body heat or improve wind resistance. There’s no one on this planet that can generate body heat on such a level it can counters the atmosphere, so creating a little atmosphere inside the denim with loose jeans is the next best thing. It’s the same concept as single vs double glazed windows.
If you want tight pants in cold climate, need to use high textured material likecorduroy or fleece, otherwise add a thermal base layer under the denim.
ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m totally cool with baby fit coming back for a while, just please don’t bring back the pre-distressed dirty washed jeans that look like you’ve been rolling around in a barn all day and also shit yourself.

We’re already moving onto skinnier but flared styles. Skinny skinny is next.
wanderwisley@lemm.ee 1 month ago
One way to tell where we are on the cycle is check to see what people between the ages of 35-40 are wearing.
dickalan@lemmy.world 1 month ago
What does that tell you, to do the opposite?
wanderwisley@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Yes and no it depends on if you live in a small town or big city.
Dicska@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I can’t always buy my kind of stuff at cheap (enough) places. A few years back it was hella difficult to find straight fit jeans, and even now it’s rare to find one in the right size and colour. Bootcut (?) jeans made a pretty belated comeback in my country back when I was in my mid 20s, and I don’t think I can find them anymore. If I could, I would wear a not-too-wildly-bootcut one for summer.
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 month ago
We need an overlay also of the amount of rips in jeans

I don’t know if I was just too old when we switched to the skinny pants trend but I found them terrible on my balls
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s because they tried to mix them with low cut pants which was also popular in the 2000s. They are much better now.
Flickerby@lemm.ee 1 month ago
The one time my girlfriend bought me a pair of skinny jeans I tried them on and couldn’t bend at the knees, she burst out laughing immediately, firmly believe she bought them 100% as a prank
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The skinny jeans era was a nightmare of elasticated crap that died on contract with a washing machine. We’d better not have to go back to seeing everyone’s pants over their low waistline though.

turtlesareneat@discuss.online 1 month ago
Yeah i grew up in the 90s. The skinny jean crazy didn’t land with me. I wore baggy carpenters until they died, then the widest bootcut I could find.
Now I am in heaven, my favorite aesthetic is everywhere, baggy jeans, shirt sleeves over long sleeves, hell yes let’s skate

I hate the feel of loose fabric on me. If I wasn’t born male, I’d wear leggings.
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 month ago

Just wear leggings with shorts over them, that’s what I do when working out outdoors in the colder months. It’s a perfectly acceptable look.

Yes

Being born male isn’t an impediment. Make a statement, wear yoga leggings everywhere!

It gets weird in the gaps; kilts, parachute pants, togas

At no point will it be at the actual best point: straight cut. They’re perfect. They show off ripped leg muscles without ripping or looking painted on.

Joggers broke me out of the cycle, free your mind
noodlejetski@piefed.social 1 month ago
I've been sceptical about joggers at first, but now I cannot imagine wearing or buying anything else. a string instead of a button is such a quality of life improvement on its own.
Auntievenim@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They’re like modern day utility pants! Plus you can get them with fleece lining which is god tier for winter
infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
The droopy crotch on most joggers is really annoying for me. I like a more loose fit around the thighs but not MC Hammer levels of loose.
Auntievenim@lemmy.world 1 month ago
My gf says the same thing. She thinks they’re comfy but she cant wear them as part of an outfit. I’m sure if someone made joggers without the hang they’d get plenty of customers. I’m surprised nobody has tried yet, its like the only legitimate complaint I hear from people about them lol

I went baggy back in the 00s and I’m NEVER going back. ‘Straight cut’ is as baggy as I’ll wear em. Love those baggy pants on my SO though 😍
13igTyme@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Clothing and other things trend about every 30 years. And it’s driven by nostalgia. As you approach your 40s you’ll start seeing things that were popular when you were 10 and it makes you want to buy it, even if it’s a dumb nik-nak.
Resist nostalgia purchases, folks.
theangryseal@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I never stopped playing Mortal Kombat 1-3. It’s hard to get someone nostalgic for a time they never left haha.
I do have the arcade machine now though. My wife spoils me.
As for my clothes, I’ve smoked, drank, and done way too many drugs to actually look youthful. When old folks tell me that I look younger than I am, I tell them it’s because I’m wearing the same clothes I bought 20 years ago and I look like a college age millennial because of that, and their sense of time is off.

I’ve worn a utila kilt several times. Let the balls hang low, let them Swing to and fro.
I’ve lost it to a move, though. I need to get another one. They our comfy.
Never understood why males couldn’t wear skirts. This doesn’t make sense.
