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.

Idk my husband never changed, Levi’s always had these

H4mi@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Same. 527 is my current choice. I’m wearing a pair right now.

heleos@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

Gonna turn your 501s into 499s

GroundedGator@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Levi's 569 are my jam

H4mi@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

Those look awesome, thanks for the tip.

My all time fav are 503, but they have not been in production since the 2000’s. I held on to my limited collection of them until they were all in a state of disrepair. I’m still hoping for a revival of the model.

Wrangler relaxed fit boot cut

This is the answer, right here.

I have several pants like this, they're still common second-hand.

entwine413@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

Man, you really didn't look very hard.

Mr_Fish@lemmy.world · 83 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Probably after we got tired of walking around with soaking ankles

caseyweederman@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 1y

And absolutely shredded cuffs.

FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee · 71 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Because they stopped making them!

They sucked though, the leg ends would always end up getting wet, muddy, and/or torn off

hOrni@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I really liked this cut, and would like them to come back. I used safety pins to keep the ends off the ground.

nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz · 28 pts · 1y (1 reply)

So you hemmed them to a more typical pant leg length?

hOrni@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

No, just the back, so I didn't step on them.

Olap@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 1y (2 replies)

When the ends of our jeans looked all freyed and hemmed

MudMan@fedia.io · 6 pts · 1y

Dusty, too. Washed jeans went from white to blue, unwashed from blue to brown.

tamal3@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

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.

This isn't what jeans look like anymore? Help me out

EtherWhack@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y (6 replies)

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

Coreidan@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 1y (5 replies)

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

EtherWhack@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y (4 replies)

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)

Coreidan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

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.

finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

Baggier pants seem to be coming back in style. Skin-tight was more of a millennial preference

EtherWhack@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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.

MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

Yep, skinny is for old folks now. Kids are dressing like it's the late 90s.

They've started wearing them again

RacerX@lemm.ee · 13 pts · 1y

The last time I bought jeans they still looked like this. Granted it was 2003, but still.

BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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.

finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

Try looking for a boot cut. It's similar, kind of baggy and the cuff is oversized to fit over boots (hence the name)

over_clox@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y

Who said I don't?

My leg length is right though..

StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org · 11 pts · 1y

I got tired of the torn up cuffs and jean cuffs are uncomfortable to walk on when you don't have shoes on.

We got tired of hiding our powerful haunches

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I really wish I could find comfortable jeans like that.

hOrni@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Well these days we have the stretchy ones. Originally I disliked them, as not real jeans, butI started to like them as soon as I got fat.

vga@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 1y

"Why does fashion" basically.

Could everyone stop pretending like you decide objectively what you wear.

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (2 replies)

How is this different from regular ass jeans?

hOrni@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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.

saruwatarikooji@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

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.

Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 1y

Because they're not practical and they fell out of style

tkk13909@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 1y

It's uncomfy

scathliath@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y

You could not do sick kicks easily in them boys, or climb trees, I destroyed many a pair with my thick ass thighs.

Cause they're ugly looking.

ne0n@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

Better than emo femboy skinny jean crap

dirtycrow@programming.dev · 2 pts · 1y

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.
