    I’m totally cool with baggy fit coming back for a while, just please don’t bring back the pre-distressed dirty washed jeans that look like you’ve been rolling around in a barn all day and also shit yourself.

    So I tried to apply Hegelian dialectic to this. Either style is the thesis and the opposite style is the antithesis. There’s something about each style that isn’t appealing to each generation and so they move away from it. There’s a lack of synthesis so we never move past these two styles and never create a new one. We are locked in the vicious cycle. This suggests something inhuman is interfering with the process.

    I never thought that the absurd baggy pants I wore back in school would ever come back into style because they were truly awful.

    But hey, what do I know - now they’re back and so am I … How do you do, fellow kids!?!

    One way to tell where we are on the cycle is check to see what people between the ages of 35-40 are wearing.

      I can’t always buy my kind of stuff at cheap (enough) places. A few years back it was hella difficult to find straight fit jeans, and even now it’s rare to find one in the right size and colour. Bootcut (?) jeans made a pretty belated comeback in my country back when I was in my mid 20s, and I don’t think I can find them anymore. If I could, I would wear a not-too-wildly-bootcut one for summer.

    Clothing and other things trend about every 30 years. And it’s driven by nostalgia. As you approach your 40s you’ll start seeing things that were popular when you were 10 and it makes you want to buy it, even if it’s a dumb nik-nak.

    Resist nostalgia purchases, folks.

      I never stopped playing Mortal Kombat 1-3. It’s hard to get someone nostalgic for a time they never left haha.

      I do have the arcade machine now though. My wife spoils me.

      As for my clothes, I’ve smoked, drank, and done way too many drugs to actually look youthful. When old folks tell me that I look younger than I am, I tell them it’s because I’m wearing the same clothes I bought 20 years ago and I look like a college age millennial because of that, and their sense of time is off.

      I just buy what’s comfy. And cheap. Most of all, I buy the first pair that fits. Who has time to worry about style, really?

      Yeah i grew up in the 90s. The skinny jean crazy didn’t land with me. I wore baggy carpenters until they died, then the widest bootcut I could find.

      Now I am in heaven, my favorite aesthetic is everywhere, baggy jeans, shirt sleeves over long sleeves, hell yes let’s skate

      3 cheers for figuring out that being un-trendy means you’re in style twice as much as anyone shifting their wardrobe…

      But also 5 stars cause you never gave any fucks either way anyway.
