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

I used to think that until I found drop crotch jogger jeans. Loose up top but skinny through the calves and cuffed to stay out of the mud. If I get extra longs I can wear them up over my bellybutton and the crotch is just normal. I looked for and found them when I found myself fantasizing about living life in my jogger scrub pants (where usually mud is the least worrisome thing that could wind up on my pants hems). Also they make my hips look huge in comparison to my tiny ankles and top so I get to look like a Pixar mom.

The day I wear drop crotch is the day my GF dies laughing

Except they’re not baggy, they’re just…wide. And short.

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!

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.

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.

It’s the ciiiiircle of pants
DandomRude@lemmy.world 2 days 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!?!

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 2 days 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.

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.

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 17 hours ago
What does that tell you, to do the opposite?

Yes and no it depends on if you live in a small town or big city.

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.

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

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
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 day 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.

PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
So I tried to apply Hegelian dialectic to this. Either style is the thesis and the opposite style is the antithesis. There’s something about each style that isn’t appealing to each generation and so they move away from it. There’s a lack of synthesis so we never move past these two styles and never create a new one. We are locked in the vicious cycle. This suggests something inhuman is interfering with the process.

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.

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 2 days ago
I feel colder in loose jeans. air gets in.
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 day 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.

We need an overlay also of the amount of rips in jeans

I hate the feel of loose fabric on me. If I wasn’t born male, I’d wear leggings.

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.

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

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’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.
