Thank God, skinny jeans are so uncomfortable and restricting

Disagree baggy jeans are uncomfortable and feels awkward to sit and stand in

The middle ground is the best

Not for me but I don’t mean to yuck your yum

Stop being a wuss and your problems are solved.

According to what I saw walking my dog today, we are fully in the baggy zone

Okay but what the hell happened in the 90s to explain JNCO/Spliffy jeans?

I think there's gotta be another circle of bagginess below this one to explain it

And I guess it doesn't have to stop there, there's possibly multiple circles of this jeanferno

The cool kids delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness. Giant ass JNCO jeans.

Most everyone needed to hide drugs and skateboards and airports on their person

Oh wow, been a while since I've been out and about. Thanks for the update!

Yeah, it looks like the 90s again. It's horrible.

Skinny Jeans was big in the UK about 5 years ago. At Peak Skinny even older people like me were assimilated. It was like when everyone suddenly stopped wearing hats several generations ago.

Personally I hated skinny jeans, as I am not a slim man, so they made me look like a toad.

Skinny pants are horrible. I hated wearing them growing up, baggy all the way

Yes, but when do trunk hose and doublets come back into style?

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Eh, I'm just waiting for the inevitable Phrygian cap resurgence 🤞

Boot cut, my friends. Skinny top, baggy (almost bell bottom, but not quite) cuff. Works the entire cycle. Also they hug your butts (and nuts if you got em) pretty nice if you get the right size jeans.
