    Because they stopped making them and you couldn’t find them and skinny jeans were the in-thing.

    I fucking hated it. I suddenly had to change my style whether I liked it or not.

        So what? We’ve had black jeans in this world for a long time. It’s not a new thing seeing people wear them

          Meme:

          why did boys stop wearing jeans like this??

          My answer:

          I just saw a high schooler wearing black ones when grabbing something to eat at the store.

          (I.E. They are still wearing them, and in different colors)

            Oh I see. I took OPs message as the style of jeans I.e. washed blue jeans that have baggy long legs.

            Seems like most kids still wear jeans today but the style is way different. From what I have seen they like skin tight jeans, washed or unwashed. To me that would be widely uncomfortable but to each their own I guess.

              It might be by locale. I live a couple blocks from a high school and I’m seeing the opposite. Kids are wearing baggier and baggier jeans, some even near JNCO style.

      Remember when you used to get your shoe stuck in the ribbon of fabric that would detach in a loop from the bottom of a leg. For some reason it was always only one leg.

    Looks a lot like my wardrobe, even the Chucks. Can’t quite find a cut like that anymore, but I love that wash. And, honestly, I like it when they get tattered by the heel.

      These were the most regular in the 2010s. They are a bin narrower in the knees, and looser at the bottom. People liked to wear them longer, so that they wrinkled at the bottom.

        Basically just a boot cut at the wrong length for your legs. They look better and are more comfortable when you get the correct size.

    When I peed my pants in them in the 2nd grade. My parents got some for me in high school, but they were so tight I could not wear them.

    Dudes were tired of only ladies getting yeast infections and demanded some tight ass pants.
