The History of Baggy Jeans
One of those fashions that just doesn't seem to go out of style is baggy jeans or baggy pants. If you are interested in buying a new pair of baggy jeans, you should look online. Baggy pants have been given a few different names throughout the world. They were originally known as baggy pants however. In the United Kingdoms for example they were called baggies. This name has faded however and today they are commonly just called wide leg jeans.
Arguably, the culture that really popularized the style was the alternative subculture which grew during the 1990s. This was probably due to the popularity of really tight pants during the eighties. Skateboarders, however, were really commonly seen wearing baggy pants in the nineties as well. Today however, you will notice that the alternative and skateboarder communities often wear skinny jeans. It is the hip hop subculture which has currently picked up the baggy jeans flag. JNCO is arguably the most popular of them.
The wide legs on baggy pants are the defining characteristic. Some people have compared baggy pants to bell bottoms. The hem on baggy pants is very big.
