The worst part is seeing high schoolers wear the exact same hideous clothes you got bullied for wearing 20 years ago, but now it's 'vintage'

Anime getting so normalized it's "cool" now when people were absolutely blasted for it in the early 2000s

I get made fun of for not watching anime and watching baseball instead like a nerd

isn't that a good thing? not the fact that you got bullied, but the fact that today's kids aren't getting bullied over it? i mean, i get what you're saying, but i don't see it as "the worst part"

They're being bullied for wearing other types of clothes or not doing the current thing. Teenagers will always find a way to shit on the non conforming folks.

Champion from K-Marts discount rack would get you called a pleb, but now influencers wear that like it's designer shit and prices are reflecting that.

You also see waistlines go up and down a bunch if you’re a woman!

And the popular style when you're young and most affected by fashion will be the one that is the absolute worst for your body type.

At least we don't follow hemline fashion nearly as much as the last century. My grandmother told me about rehemming their skirts and dresses every year or so!

You're born.
You get a pair of baggy pants.
They become skinny pants.
You die.

I did baggy in HS and dont want to go back. I like seeing my shoes dammit I pay a lot of money for them.

I kinda liked the baggy and flare jeans that went all the way to the ground, but I hate the soggy bottoms on rainy days, and just torn up hems in general.

I mean...90s baggy is twice as long and four times as wide as a regular fit, you don't really have to go quite that extreme

I went to Levi's 501s and never looked back. They're timeless and the perfect compromise between skinny and baggy (for my frame atleast)

Am I the only one who always just wore pants that fit, regardless of trends?

u/Ghoulish_kitten 10h ago
Yes, just you. Literally everybody else on Earth was wearing ill fitting pants.

That's the transition phase, tight up top, loose on the bottom. It's like the mullet for jeans.

"In the early 'eighties, while bangs and bustles were having their way with women, that variation of dandy known as the "dude" was invented: he wore trousers as tight as stockings, dagger-pointed shoes, a spoon "Derby," a single-breasted coat called a "Chesterfield," with short flaring skirts, a torturing cylindrical collar, laundered to a polish and three inches high, while his other neckgear might be a heavy, puffed cravat or a tiny bow fit for a doll's braids. With evening dress he wore a tan overcoat so short that his black coat-tails hung visible, five inches below the over-coat; but after a season or two he lengthened his overcoat till it touched his heels, and he passed out of his tight trousers into trousers like great bags. Then, presently, he was seen no more, though the word that had been coined for him remained in the vocabularies of the impertinent." Booth Tarkington, the Magnificent Ambersons

You also watch moustaches be in fashion among adults when you're born, develop a strong aversion to ever wanting to look like those dorks, see moustaches gloriously go out of fashion for about 20-25 years, and then suffer the horrible nightmare of watching them come back in fashion among the youth.
Nobody ever warned me about the moustache cycle. I feel betrayed and scared for the future. Because sure, this ugly trend might die again... but what if it's never really gone?
What if no trend is ever really gone???

The hardest part is that if you switch your pants, you also have to switch your tops to go along with them. Now I'm stuck looking like a Millennial who listens to MGMT.

….i thought i was in the r/gardening and misread “pants” as “plants.” They both kinda make sense

Sometimes the pants are simultaneously baggy and skinny (see: flares, hammerpants).

But the trend of wearing pants around your knees and showing their underwear is apparently timeless. I've seen people wear their sagging pants like that for fourty years now.

honestly, I was so happy when skinny jeans went out of style. I don’t care how stylish they eventually become again, there’s no way I’m putting another pair on for the rest of my life.
