I’m 52 and have loved fashion since I was a kid reading everything from Vogue to Ebony to the Sears catalog haha. That means I’ve seen trends come and go… and come… and go once more. The current popular iteration of big pants is a slightly more elevated version of what I wore as a raver in the 90s, which for me is more amusing than anything else. However, having been a wide leg pants lover since the 90s means I’m all for that trend in general. In fact, I’ve never seen a skinny pant that I would buy for myself.

Thanks for sharing my favorite type of big pants at the bottom of your post. I’ll continue to stockpile my favorites for the future when skinny pants once again become the only pant style available for purchase.

Somewhat recently, I rewatched Better Luck Tomorrow which is set in late 90/early 2000s Southern California and couldn’t help but laugh at how comically wide the guys’ pants legs were.

It goes beyond 16 year olds—I follow a millennial on TikTok who reports what’s in and what’s out from her car, based on what gen alpha children are into
