My thing is to come on here for sheets and giggles, but due to the stakes for which I have no choice but to rage against the war machine of outrageous clothing propaganda... thus, will have to toss in my pair of lincolns on this one.
Very seldom do I share scentiments with anyone here, especially as the newbie/outkast of these forums, but this one was important to me.
Everything you just stated, I heartedwholey concur with from the earths to the cosmos and beyond. I extremely DESPISE the oversized pant look that's being force-fed to us by social media, designers, apparel outlets, unsuspecting/violated mannequins forced against their muted will to display this fashion-laden atrocity, etc.
It's so contrived that just out of spite, i've gone even slimmer with my pants just to be contrarian.
Quite frankly, i don't mind standing out, being different... so folks can resurrect them JNCO's/Gerbose for all i care. But here's where things get sticky and tricky:
And the reason why this effects me is because if i go buy clothes, my options for pants that fit me are now becoming more limited. That's when the bed bucking stops and something has to be mentioned. It's a travisty and we have the right to speak freely on this
From a general perspective, there were always folks that don't care about fashion, and already wore dad jeans/NT denim their whole lives... but now with the kids getting into this bulbous-pant ensemble... now everyone just looks equally as sloppy. And that's ok with me because I don't racks every year to have my footwear cancelled by my own droopy pantalones. That was middle/high school and those days are behind me like backpack/ chiropractor.
When you look at the sneakers app and they showcase those "STREET SNKRS" segments... most people are still wearing slim/skinny pants.
If there are non-trendy folks wearing bigger bottoms... these are guys that you can tell, never got into the smaller pant wave.
Exhibit A:
Then you have folks who are doing trying to normalize/make hip. But naw breighs. Not for me.
Exhibit B:
And this is what the trendy wendy williams of the world are committed to.
Exhibit C(nile).
And with oversized denims... it's hard to gauge what a woman's holding/whether she draggin' a wagon. Bleh.
But end of the day... you realize that a tailored look is clean/presentable and makes your kicks stand out even moreso.
Conformity and peer pressure is something that will always be a part of society... but its admiration to those who choose to fall victim to lemmingship and make their own choices.
Plus, how can do perform a successful cartwheel with jeans that massive.
