At least the story has a happy ending
I am so grateful the pants and shirt has stuck around so long.
I just don’t like mid and high rise jeans which I guess are back now. Can I just have regular non-baggy, normal-rise jeans that aren’t stretchy? Apparently at the moment, no.
So semi-formal wear it is for me.
I’m never going to have a sense of fashion.
Pants and shirt for ever babyyyyy
One leg baggy, one leg skinny, HYBRID JEANS PEOPLE
HYBRID JEANS
just went shopping with my niece and guess what, Flares are back - just like bsck then when I was 12
And just like when your parents were 12
And just like when your grandparents were 12
Barrel pants are in too. I feel like a pirate but I guess I’ll be a good consumer and get some
My high school son dresses pretty much exactly like I did at his age. The other day it was 90’s themed day at school and he was stopped in the hall to take pictures becuase his outfit was so spot on. He had completely forgotten it was 90’s day and just wore his usual attire — a nirvana t-shirt over a thermal long sleeve and a pair of jnco jeans. Kid shops for himself (summer job $$) and I crack a smile every time I see him come home with another thing that could have come from my 90’s wardrobe (except I never could afford name brands).
skinny jeans make my ass phat, baggy jeans could never
Not with that attitude!
I’m jealous, I have negative ass
Get some squats in.
Give it a few more months and it’ll be windbreakers and loud colors time.
clearly you’re not into techno, if anything this is on the way back out
Yeah could have missed that. But I’m assuming more at the mall or in a school hallway haute couture.
Anything is possible! We just have to believe hard enough.
No, the 80s stay in the past where they belong
Ok, how about the humble swatch watch?
I had blocked those out
According to the episode of The Rest Is Science that I watched the other day, you can still get those sort of things :)
So that means jeans are still going to get a lot baggier
I think we’re more at the bottom left. Skinny jeans are gonna come back any year now.
14 flights of stairs per day? You’re goddamn right I’m wearing skinny jeans. i’m 47, and my ass looks awesome.
Pics or it didn’t happen
I’m not really sure how to take a picture of my own ass
Revolutionary new tech. Mirror!
You know, it’s funny because I never really thought about this, but I don’t think I’ve ever owned a mirror.
I have no desire to look at myself
Is that weird?
You dont got one in your bathroom, fix your hair, check for pimples?

Selfie stick!
I don’t know what that is
It’s an expandable stick you attach your phone on to, so you can take pictures with the camera farther away. Some of them are pretty cool they almost look like drone shots, probably not the cheaper ones though.
What did we do before denim was invented?
Baggy robe vs tight robe
Skinny/baggy breeches, and before that, pantaloons. Go back far enough and you might find clay tablets with cuniform text criticizing the youth for wearing their skirts/kilts too tight or loose.
Actually, with cuneiform, you might still see people talking about trousers. Pants as we know them were popularized by Persian fashion originally, IIRC (though the garment itself dates back a lot farther to the Asian steppe), and then pollinated to Europe via military expansion and practicality by Rome.
Cod pieces
Word up!
Unga-dunga!
Lederhosen baby
We wore wool trousers
I hate all jeans, they’re bad for my sensory issues
That’s so interesting because I also have massive fabric sensitivity issues but denim is the only one that doesn’t drive me crazy. So many differences between neurodivergent people.
Omg me too THERE’S LITERALLY AT LEAST TWO OF US 🥹
three
God me too. Jeans are kind of my anchor point for why the rest of the world feels insane. The creases creasing any time I bend my legs. It’s uncomfortable. Plenty of pants don’t do that. I don’t understand why people love the crease feel pants.
Denim bunching up behind your knees! 🤮
What do you wear instead?
Shorts or skirts
how so my friend?
More generally it’s actually just all long pants, I hate how constricting they feel . Jeans are worse because they’re usually not stretchy at all.
I wear skiiny stretchy jeans, its a thing
I’m waiting for the generation with the boldness to overturn the system with asymmetrical jeans: baggy high rise on one side, skinny low rise on the other.
how about reverse bootcut (baggy around the thigh, tight around the calf)
Stop. Hammer time!
beautiful
that’s what a trans girl would say ^^
Going colonizer!
Pantaloons
You’d like to Japanese fashion, so many creative people out there making really cool stuff, usually out of thrifted clothes.
I was in Tokyo in 2007 and everyone was wearing jeans under jeans. I was convinced it was going to come stateside. I don’t think it was a full pair of jeans beneath an outer pair of jeans. But that’s what it looked like. It seemed like the response to how extreme the trend to wear your pants sagging had gotten. Sag as hard as you want, just wear another pair of jeans underneath so you’re not in your boxers.
You’re very perceptive. I was pretty interested in the Harajuku trend in the early 2000s. I should probably check back in on Japanese street fashion.
sounds so uncomfortable to wear lol
A couple of times a century you get the bell-bottoms
I’ve been waiting for skinny jeans to come back. I don’t necessarily follow trends, but looks like they might be?
For younger trends. Skinny jeans and yoga pants were last cycle, it’s big jean and baggy sweatpants time now.
As an “old person” whatever I do young people hate. So it’s skinny jeans season for roughly anyone past 30. Because we killed the trend over the past few years and it’s now “what parents wear”.
Also another opposite, it’s old person no-show sock time. If you’re a young boy, it’s socks up to your knees with shorts time.
Looking around Lemmy I think the young lads’ socks are well up past the knees and worn with a twirly skirt.
I read this in a Scottish accent for some reason
Lol, must be because “lads.”
But now imagine the kilt is a mini, the socks are thigh high, and kitty-ears may be involved.
But what the heck let’s keep the sporran, sporrans are cool.
I think we had fairly normal jeans for a while, now it’s back to either real skinny or very wide from what I’ve seen.
I have texture issues, especially with fabric, denim is the only one that feels nice and the skinny ones feel like a hug. I love those and flared ones from my youth. I hope they come back soon only because they’re hard to find in my size when they’re not “in”.
I’m waiting for bellbottoms/flares to come back around. They were in when I was formativing and despite them never being in again since, and thus really hard to find, I never stopped wearing them because everything else sucks to me. Skinny jeans make my lower legs feel like they can’t breathe (have the exact same sensory problem with turtleneck and crew neck), and straight leg/boot cut bunch up in horribly uncomfortable ways, especially behind the knee.
Give me tight to the knee, and then big enough to cover my shoes without touching my legs ever again, please and thank you.
I’m the exact opposite, all my sensory problems are in my hips range of motion and groin, and I hate the sensation of rain / mud (or at work, bodily fluids) on the heel {especially if it’s somewhat worn with hanging threads). High waist, baggy seat and crotch, and an inch or so short of skintight below the knee has been amazing.
I’m genuinely horrified at the thought of existing for a day in your preferences, no offense intended. I’m glad it works for you, but every single one of those features is an absolute dealbreaker for me, individually. Unless baggy means stretchy, which it probably doesn’t.
You can have all the bits I hate from my clothes.
I will say, though, I don’t have the problem you do with wet hems, because I exclusively wear knee socks made for winter sports, so nice and thick and wet-preventing. Why is that different than skinny pants? No idea, but it is.
