Like in every Friends thread I'm going to make the obligatory "Watch Living Single instead" post.

Legends never die.
The kid in the background is thinking exactly the same thing I am: "WTF"
Oh come on, people who wear this don't exist. Large clothes were worn by everyone on TV in the 90sWhy does this shit cost $168 today?
I'd take laughably-large clothes over this shit any day of the week.
I think it's to do with all your world class players leaving and being replaced with dross tbh.
How many people have you seen in person rocking those I'll wait
What is Hip Hop's cultural impact on white America? That's basically what it was. At least for me and my friends. Tommy Hill Jeans a size or two too big (never those weird jnco jeans) Timb Boots and Nike Blue and Black Hoodies.
Fashion was a lot better in the 90's, wearing skinny jeans looks painful as fuck.

Yep.
Which is why some shit won't die like cargo shorts.
Also a good portion of obese, middle aged, and the elderly shop for comfort over style.
I sure wouldn't mind seeing Dreamcast logos instead of Emirates.I just want 90s baggy sports jerseys back
Vs
Players went from looking like superheroes with their capes flapping in the wind to looking like teenagers in a mecha anime
I've been rewatching Friends as background noise while I get other things done in the evenings, and my god the guys wear such terrible clothing.
Why were guys wearing things at least two sizes too big?? I don't get it.
Also, Ross is an asshole and Phoebe is the best thing about the show.
They're a bit large but I wouldn't say 2 sizes.
Also, it's not like today's clothes are so great either. Never think that TODAY is the height of style as it changes everyday
Nevermind tight clothes. What's up with ripped jeans? I see teenagers every day with pant legs half torn off. I guess that's the evolution of the factory wear look, which was also silly.
The most hilarious thing was two girls who came walking down the street in identical clothes with identical factory made tears. Oh so individual.

The thing I find weird is that I still frequently see men wearing baggy jeans with the waist below their hips so their ass is hanging out. It was a comically silly trend to begin with, it is really impractical, and it is super old at this point. Yet somehow it still hangs on.
Slim fitting clothing is the best. Super comfy. Especially the jeans with a bit of elastic to them. I do enjoy the more athletic cuts too. Helps the asthetics haha.
Yep the good old days of the Steve Harvey suits and a waste of fabic.
A well selected slim fit is better than a baggy mess.

It was crazy comfortable. Ever wonder why Kevin Smith has remained super chill all these years?
- People still wear looser clothes when at home and form fitting clothes for more formal settings. Form fitting is more flattering.

Nobody is actually wearing these.
Maybe at musical festivals, but most of those people DIY.
Maybe some rich people buy these and go to Coachella.
Don't worry, TMac is keeping the style aliveYep the good old days of the Steve Harvey suits and a waste of fabic.

When I was in HS late 90's/early 00's, tight clothing was associated with homosexuality. That is, only gays wear tight clothes. It was avoided unless you wanted to be made fun of. I also think some of it was hiphop culture becoming mainstream in the mid 90s.
Gays were always a decade ahead of fashion anyway so I'd look to them now to see what will be mainstream in 2028.

My God. How does someone leave the house willingly like that.Don't worry, TMac is keeping the style alive
I still sport them around today. Idgaf about fashion trends, and my baggy clothes are comfortable af.
I've got two pairs of UFO pants I keep in circulation on the reg. They are the best. Streamers are in the pockets, or cut off though. I hate stuff hanging off my pants. I just like the super thin super baggy-ness to them. So comfortable.

That may be less of a thing now that the gays have a direct line of communication to the straights in the form of Instagram.
I still wear all my clothes baggy. Extra long too, if I can find it. I want my t-shirts to brush against my knees, and my shorts to extend below the knee. And lots of room for air flow.
A size or two larger isn't that bad, but...
... that shit looked stupid! Remember how those were big in the 90s and how they also tried to bring back bellbottoms? Even back then I thought that shit looked lame. The big, baggy pants looks like when a little kid tries on their fathers clothing. What, man, did you fuckin' shrink, homie? You're fuckin' "Honey I Shrunk the Kids'? LOL! There was just certain trends back then I even thought were fuckin' shit while everybody else was zoning out to them like they were the gold standard.
I bet whatever you're wearing is wack.
Chandler's shirt is actually good in 2018.I've been rewatching Friends as background noise while I get other things done in the evenings, and my god the guys wear such terrible clothing.

TOPL fashion tastes and trends change.
Oh wait, I'm probably wrong, OP probably gonna keep doubling down.

Stealth Friends thread, hmmm...
But on the subject of clothes:
I always thought the excessive baggy clothes were ridiculous when I was a kid. I would see kids wearing shorts that are big and go down to their ankles and pants they're constantly pulling up which I still see today so I guess I've just gotten used to it. Then I started noticing the ripped clothing trend and think that's ridiculous, too. More so than the baggy clothes. I used to put holes in my jeans all the time just from playing outside. But then again, you can just put holes in your own clothes intentionally so I find it ridiculous that people actually pay for it. Then I saw high waits double jeans for the first time last year or early this year going for $695. Now that is ridiculous. I wear what I want and don't give a shit about the trends since I've clearly never cared for them anyway.
Lets be real, men are still wearing clothes that are too big. Your pants shouldn't be bunched at your shoes, your tucked in shirt shouldn't blouse over your belt, your sleeves shouldn't be like windsocks, and your shorts shouldn't go below your knees.
For me, I was 12 in '99 and that was the last year I wore baggy clothing. In '00 I was in 8th grade, then '01 went into highschool, and it was a real challenge finding clothes that fit.The market for fitted clothes just wasn't there in terms of men's fashion at the time unless you went high end. I would search everywhere for men's extra small, and even went to youth boys if necessary. And even then, just because the sizes were small, the cuts weren't exactly fitted, so I still had a similar problem of clothes not fitting my body type. Fortunately fashion trends have caught up and I can find normal fitting clothes pretty much anywhere now.

90s did have some goofy stuff. But the "rugged" urban style was great- loose but not ridiculous jeans, hoodies, boots or sneakers, tees, almost everything dark colors. Most comfortable shit ever.
LOL it'll be in far less time than that, try 10 years. In the 90s we mocked the fashion trends of the 80s, the neon and denim and all that shit. Skinny jeans, or tight jeans with the sag, look ridiculous now, just like JNCOS did in the 90s and were mocked even at the time.

Baggy 90s sweaters should never have gone out of fashion if we want to be frank. My dad's wardrobe consistrtd almost exclusively of black slacks, baggy sweaters, and outlandish button downs. I'll give you the button downs have to be erased from existence, but 90s sweater fashion was on point. I'm overweight so maybe it helps, but he has a closet of em from 20 years ago that look pristine, and I rock em like a boss during the winter. The compliments I get for going retro like that are at an all time high.

Because it was designed by Edward Scissorhands.

Now THIS is the stuff I came to this thread for, not some weak ass Friends sweaters. Just look at him. He knows he is at the top of the fashion game - "come at me bitches"
