Parachute Pants Are Not For Wearing

   Yeah, you can’t touch MC Hammer but please don’t even think about touching his pants either! Baggy parachute pants were worn in the late 80s and were made for break dancers so they could decrease friction with the dance floor and perform fast and intricate routines without putting any wear in their clothing. Sure, break dancing may be hard and could be a little bit painful, but I think wearing those pants out in public would be even more painful. I guess back then break dancers had an excuse to wear them (I’m still not condoning break dancers to wear these awful pants), but no one else has any excuse to wear them at all! 

   I feel like if a break dancer was wearing those pants, or if anyone was dancing in those pants, they would do more harm than good! I can image people tripping over themselves or someone in the crowd getting serious whiplash from a fast-paced break dancer.

Besides being possibly dangerous, parachute pants have to be one of the most, least flattering pieces of clothing. They don’t do anything for anyone’s body! They give you no shape whatsoever and they make you look huge! I have no idea why anyone would wear these today. Sadly, there have been models on the runway displaying this style. Honestly, if people know what is good for them they will realize that these pants were not made for wearing, they were made for extreme situations like falling out of an airplane.

What Goes Around Comes Around

What goes around comes around. Unfortunately, this statement involves more than say good karma. It also includes the broad topic of fashion and style. It includes what you’re wearing, what you’re driving and what you’re saying. You constantly see designers taking ideas from way back when and turning them into a more modern look. Sometimes these styles are a hit and take off like they did back in the day. However, some styles brought back, would have been better left in the past, and some styles that haven’t been brought back yet, should definitely stay in the past. 

Over the decades thousands of trends have evolved. The reasons that some specific trends were so popular, I have no idea. My blog will be like a blast from the past and show you absolutely ridiculous trends that were oh, so cool years ago. From extra-large electronics to extra-small shorts, these trends will make you wonder, “What were they thinking?”. These styles faux pas will show you how our society has grown up and modernized through the years. Then again, we shouldn’t be too harsh on these trends because I know years from now someone out there will be laughing at some of the trends from 2010.
