Skinny jeans are OUT, Leggins OUT

[Rustyeye77]

Baggy clothes ARE IN

What happens if you don’t like baggy jeans..

Who makes these decisions ??

[dawg day]

1. My millennial nephew just told me Korean street pants

...are the new thing, fitted in the waist and ankle and baggy in between.

[soothsayer]

3. That is good to know. Kind of cute

[Rustyeye77]

11. You can order these on line

[soothsayer]

12. Prediction: I'll look like a homeless person

(But in style!)

[Rustyeye77]

13. Yeah...I see your point....korean street wear

[Treefrog]

23. Probably not a good look for the majority of us rapidly aging people here on this forum.

And what’s with the straps in the front? I can see those getting caught on everything when I’m gardening.

[Rustyeye77]

31. I understand what you're saying.

Of course occasional stepping out is ok

[samnsara]

18. they look comfy..and i can fill the pockets with all my purse stuff...

[Scrivener7]

15. Anyone's mind throwing back to the '80s? Korean street pants are just '80s baggy pants with strings

[dawg day]

24. I was recalling MC Hammer..

And his parachute pants.

[Scrivener7]

25. Exactly!

[Phentex]

33. Yep. Just parachute pants!

We still have a shiny track suit with parachute pants for costume parties.

30. For men, let's bring back Oxford Bags... a trend from a century ago.

At the peak of their popularity in 1925, the bottom hem of men’s pant legs was almost always under 20 inches in circumference. (For reference, most “fashionable” trousers today have a circumference of 16 to 18 inches for suits, and maybe 15 to 17 inches for odd trousers). Oxford bags, in contrast, sometimes measured 40 inches or more.

2. Covid probably decided this one with the quarantine 19

4. Consumers play a huge role in deciding what will trend simply by what they buy.

Consumers are often influenced by what their favorite celebrity is wearing. Trends often start that way.

Colors, hem lines/dress lengths, suit cuts etc., primarily start with the fashion houses and trickle out from there.

Fashion Houses are also aware of trends and those trends often shape their line. They look at trends in music, literature, entertainment - even political thought.

The edge is getting your line out first, making it stand out, and one that best reflects style trends that are still early enough in their infancy.

Music that is bold and edgy will inspire fashion trends that are bold and edgy.

Music that takes you back to an earlier sound will bring about fashion trends that do the same.

Culturally, it is all tied together. Music/Books/Ideas/Fashion - all a reflection of the times you're living in and what is happening around you.


You can actually tell a lot about what is happening in how people think by what is trending in the fashion world at that place in time.

More conservative, less conservative, more liberal, less liberal, more sedate, bold, muted colors, bold colors - all tied to how people think about life.

Is the future bright or do you have to be cautious? Fashion can and does reflect that. As will music and literature.


Speaking for myself - I wear what I want to wear regardless of what is "in". Read what I want and listen to the music I want.

9. I think youll like this. lol

just kidding

[Solly Mack]

16. I like baggy pants. What they call "boyfriend" jeans.

I don't like the baggy pants style of baggy pants - fitted at the waist and billowy through the legs. Like from the 80's.

I'm sure your joke was funny.

[blm]

21. I like loose fit.

Even when I was young and admit to wearing the tight French jeans I still preferred the baggier look.

5. Whomever has surplus clothing to sell makes these decisions!!!

[hlthe2b]

6. While I freely admit to being jealous of those who could carry off any number of fashion trends over

the past decades, when I absolutely would not even try, skinny jeans is not one of them. I don't think they look good on ANYONE, male or female, size 2 supermodel or anyone else. And I thought they looked worse on men--rendering them with "chicken legs." Not to mention how bizarrely they walk as though they were wearing a hobble, unable to even flex their ankle, much less their legs. At least leggings allow one to move. Your mileage may vary, but ultra skinny jeans out of fashion? Thank the Goddess.

[Phentex]

34. Agreed! But better than the extra low-waist trend...

I never thought the muffin spilling over was a good look for anyone!

You are so right about the skinny leg!

[Laffy Kat]

36. Agreed! nt

[honest.abe]

7. I think I'll skip this fashion trend.

Just wait a awhile and what we currently wear will be back in style.

[Rustyeye77]

10. I have your pair.....lol

joke

[LisaM]

8. I like a loose top over leggings.

Like the look, like how comfortable it is. It cycles back around for those reasons. Baggy pant looks usually don't last long.

[samplegirl]

14. Baggy pants..

the trend comes and goes but it’s still sloppy looking and a waste of fabric.

[Siwsan]

17. I prefer comfort so I've always bought my jeans one size larger than I am.

Skinny jeans make no sense to me, but then I'm pretty apathetic about current fashions.

Admittedly, I found my fashion niche, back in my teens. I dress warm in the Winter (comfy jeans or leggings, and big sweaters), and from Spring to late Fall I am almost always dressed in full blown 'Boho' cotton/gauze skirts and tops, even when I'm gardening. Exception is my wonderful cargo slacks, for when I'm mowing. I actually found them in the woods. After the third time I walked past them, I figured they were abandoned, so I took them. I think they came from a military surplus store. They are not my size, but that's what belts are for. I can carry my keys and cell phone, with room to spare.

19. When it comes to jeans I decided years ago that narrow/straight legs looked best on me, so

I don't pay too much attention to what's in or out of style at the time. Classics are always in style and spandex is your friend.

I've never been a fan of skinny jeans. I just don't like the look. I do wear leggings as long as my top is long enough to cover my backside.

I don't care for really wide legs either. When I was younger, I could really rock a pair of bell bottoms, but that was a few decades ago.

[mitch96]

20. "Korean baggy street pants" Elastic waist, elastic ankles, Loose the pockets and fancy buckles

Then you have sweat pants... Am I missing something here?

22. Here's a solution - wear what you like

[tanyev]

26. Every year some designer tries to make culottes happen.

Culottes, aka How To Make Even Tall Thin Young Lovelies Look Dumpy. That’s a look that needs to be left back in the 70s.

[Kali]

27. that isn't what I think of as culottes

to me the are longer baggy shorts that look like a skirt. that picture is what I call flood pants or capris, however I agree with the description of how they make the wearer look. I can't stand capri pants.

[tanyev]

28. Yeah, I had a hard time picking just one photo from that link.

I’m not a fan of capris either, but a thinner leg that ends below the knee still looks better to me than the full culotte legs ending at the same length. For some reason a skirt that length with boots works, but culottes do not. And I’m sure I had a pair in their 70s heyday. That would have been my high school/college years. I’m tall, was quite thin at the time, but I think I wore them one or two times and then stuck them at the back of my closet.

[Politicub]

29. Ugh - I hate baggy jeans. Skinny jeans are more spandex than denim.

Which is why they're so comfortable.

[Iggo]

32. Who makes these decisions? Why, you do.

I’m gonna throw on a pair of boot cut jeans and a heavy black tee-shirt and let the new kids dress in the new style just like I have for the last 40 years.

[Laffy Kat]

35. Thank god.

I'm not an obese person and still the skinny jeans are so unflattering I refuse to wear them. I also think I'm the only woman at work who doesn't wear leggings. I bought some, but every time I put them on I feel like I'm in one of those dreams where you forget to wear your pants to work, so I've never made it out of the house with leggings and a tunic. Can't do it.
