In The 90s - Toys of the Nineties Index

Commentor Name:	Dean
Comments left:	The huge, baggy pants were characteristic of the 90s, for the entire decade, really. You started seeing them in the late 80s, when they were worn with oversized shirts and oversized, shoulder-padded jackets. I had a roommate at the time who thought it was scandalous that the baggy, boxer underwear was intended to show as the pants slid down. And slide down they did, sometimes to the ankles. A good thing buff, bodybuilders' bodies were also in style at the time. In order to keep them up, you'd often see guys walking in a telltale way down the street: one hand in the pocket balled up in a fist as they grasped to keep the pants up. We called 'em skater pants where I lived, but I was always so skinny that normal pants looked baggy on me so I didn't really partake.
