I heard parachute pants were coming back in fashion

[gsdx]

Can it be true? (Was there a reason for this fashion? What were they trying to hide?)

Granted, they don't look so bad on Aladdin.

 

[jaysizzles]

ugh...I truly hope not...that was even a worse style than saggers!

Back in the mid 80s, paratrooper pants were a big style... they were tight-fitting, multi-pocketed nylon pants that made guy's asses look so incredible that I had trouble concentrating.

I hated the influx of baggy pants. Make guys all look like your grandfather.

All I can say is, does my bum look big in this?

ORLY, gsdx, I heard it was crocheted hats

That's not what I heard.

I think the reason for this fashion is pretty obvious.

You heard this where?

I read about it at Yahoo! Canada but the link to the story is gone now. It was some singer, I believe, wearing them to some awards show.

I found this article, though: http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyl..._brings_the_hammer_pants_back_hot_or_not.html

I wanted those SO bad. Good thing I never did get them.

Harem pants were big for a second on the runways last year. I haven't seen too much of them this year. I think they are donezo...before they even started again.

Thank God!

Why did Apu carried Marge Simpson's hair?

 

[2243]

^ Because he's gay. Duh!

..and that's not Marge, it's Amy's tripple great aunt Ava.

Oh, I don't know. It worked for some guys.

No - the new fashion will be the reverse mullet a la Kate Gosselin from Jon & Kate plus 8.

And the only fashion that I can accept back from the 80's without any drama is the polo shirt with the collar up. Always liked that look anyway.

Those are Jodhpurs. Those are for riding... nothing like elephant pants.

The new generation of parachute pants are to be worn only with platform shoes.

Of course, the Brits will wear theirs with a Burberry design and Adidas. Damn chavs.
