One leg baggy, other leg skinny
One way to tell where we are on the cycle is check to see what people between the ages of 35-40 are wearing.
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.
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.
Big city😗
When can we be in the no pants era? 😩
Anytime you wanna come over.
Kilts never went out of style.
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.
No real reason except to separate us. It’s all arbitrary, so pick whatever rules you like and throw the rest in the garbage.
me and the boys entering our tunic era
It’s always been baggy for me, I like the swishing around my ankles XD
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’m a relaxed-fit man. Occasionally the rest of society aligns with my taste.
I’m staying right between both and I’m not moving.
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.
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
Levi’s are going to shit though.
The 559s I bought in 2022 are starting to come apart. The 559s I bought in 2023 split at the inseam a few months ago. The 559s I bought a year ago blew apart last week when I set down a heavy box. They are observably getting worse as time goes on.
The Levi’s from the early 2000s lasted 15+ years.Levi’s in Europe has been shit for decades so welcome to the club. Sadly it seems only premium denim isn’t fragile shit nowadays.
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.
Similar story in my life but a 12-pack of Smirnoff Ice
Zima?
And by era I mean 6 fucking months
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.
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. They don’t seem to make as many color variant runs as they used to though, I used to have the Lizzie Amano editions in lavender / black and they looked awesome, I ran them ragged as cycling shoes.
Damn right.
Someday we’ll return to better times
Quick! Kill all the designers before it goes back!
Industrial advertising, fashion is a demand creation system.
We are all dependent on Mr. Mugato’s choices
Except they’re not baggy, they’re just…wide. And short.
We need an overlay also of the amount of rips in jeans
That one spins in the opposite direction
Now that I appreciate a Guy’s butt in slim jeans they’re gone :(
My butt makes baggy jeans look slim.
