People are wearing huge pants?
Baggy is back. You can even buy jnco.
But in 2003.. maybe straight and boot cuts were popular and maybe skinny hadn't taken off .. jnco was a jc penny brand by then.. far from its hayday
Yeah I was gonna say, I think huge pants were on the outs in 2003.
Thanks i came to say the same. Huge pants kinda fell out around 97/98. At least that's how i remember it.
I was in art school in 01 and we were switching to skinny jeans and torn punk stuff from just around when most of us were born (early 80s punk/new wave)
Not surprised art school students were ahead, but this didn't reach my part of the US / suburbia until like 2005
Yeah, by '03 JNCOs were just kind of baggy jeans at Kohls with cringe 'urban' embroidery on the back pockets.
Mainstreamers wore distressed bootcut jeans with the goal to look like you had stolen them off a rodeo clown that never washed them. (See also huge belt buckles and straw cowboy hats that looked like they were found at the bottom of a forgotten silver mine.
'Girlfriend' jeans started getting popular with skaters, the skinny cut and stretch denim were supposedly easier to skate in than the big baggy jeans that had been popular.
'90s are back in Canada for sure, at least among teenagers. I haven't lived in the US since 2016, but it can't be much different. Grunge and Korn shirts galore. I kind of love it. Makes me feel like a wisened old sage who nods knowingly at the new generation picking up the pieces of their ancestors. Just waiting for them to discover Bush.
This is great news tbh
