Even more gross than the skinny jeans era.

Although I’d say that this is flailing jeans thing basically just trying to be edgy fashion bullshit. Pretty sure it won’t stick that much

The only mfs talking about the skinny jean era are early 90s skaters that for some reason are still dressing like that 30 years later.

Skinny jeans were practical, you look down and can actually see your board + 5$ girl jeans actually stretch. Giant baggy pants have too much fabric and your constantly adjusting/can't see your feet to set up. Watch any TJ Rogers clip.

Skinny jeans are a disaster on your nutsack shame on you.

All truths including the shame

I sure hope you are not cruising around in $5 girls stretchy skinny leg jeans in 2023 and thinking that this is an acceptable attire for a grown man.

Since when is skateboarding about being practical?

[Yakusoku2]

I’ve never been in a place where people talk so much about other people’s pants… and I’m starting to like it.

[gearcrisis]

when i used to wear wrangler relaxed fit id cut them and theyd flare out like bell bottoms, hated that fucking look. theres no reason for anyone to be wearing bell bottoms, they look suspect on feminine fits too . physical cringe and red flag

Comfortable I can subscribe to.

Yo I feel like they give me extra powers tho. I like walking up to people and then greeting me by looking at my junk. It's definitely a good thing. Except when you in jail then my face is up here ok

I used to do that to my jeans too.  Seemed to make sense at the time.

[McBrandt]

We've been on the 90s baggy wave for a few years now. If we skip the early '00s skin tight baker pants phase and go straight to the mid '00s boot cut I'd probably be okay with it. Wouldn't wear it at my age, even though I have a pair of corduroy Levi's boot cut 517s in nice shape from back then.

[Shrinedescender]

Matt Pike is the only acceptable post-1970s bell-bottom wearer

[whaaaaat]

Ashamed to say I was a perpetrator/victim of the wearing womens flared jeans thing in the early 00's. I probably listened to Led Zeppelin too much and watched Ethan Fowler in Art Bars too many times. Live and learn you know.

[Ride it to dust]

Shittest fitting jeans ever. They looked even shittier if there was sock showing (especially white) and partnered with a nice brogue or something

[Streebo]

its called swag......ever heard of it?

[Ride it to dust]

Isnt swag what they used to print on robbers bags?

No Swag is free shit. Stuff We All Get.  Now swagger that’s a different thing altogether.

[ChuckRamone]

Violet bringing this back

[mj23]

I think the real question is why didn’t someone else do it sooner

Pants like this have been coming back in non-skate fashion for a decent few years now

[No Wave Comply]

Pleated trousers with a slight taper is where it's at for me, personally. A nice belt, a tucked in roomy, but not too large shirt. I'm good.

Bootcuts really only look good while wearing, ya know, boots. That said, if you're gonna rock them, go hard and get those Wrangler Wrancher or Levis 517 polyester ones that are only sold at Western Wear stores. Bellbottoms are for first year college hippies and cosplay.

Is it Stuff We All Get, or are Skateboarders Wearing Atrocious  Garb ?

I've seen it look good on some girls, depends how big the flare is. To be fair, pretty women can make most things look good.

[Rasmus]

In Denmark we call these pants for trumpet pants

Jeans (regular fit) are called cowboy pants (in Danish, as well) and I have almost always been surfing in the cowboy category every time pants went from slim to baggy. It's just nice to not drown in fabric, but still be able to bend your legs

[BALARGUE]

While we're at it,
In France they are called elephant feet pants

Ladies in the 90s wearing Mudd jeans

Trung definitely fucks with some bootcuts. Maybe Dashawn will start rocking bootcuts with his belly shirts. I appreciate people trying to be a little different, but I always shudder at BCs. I'd rather see someone just go full bellbottom.

In this instance I'd go with your defintion.

[PatrickSkateman]

The Hot Wax crew used to toggle between skinny and flared jeans lol.

[rawbertson.]

i want to say Ethan Fowler rocked some flairs but i cant seem to find the clips...
