Maybe because they were stepping on their own fucking pants.
I wore a pair of jeans like that yesterday...
Cause they're ugly looking.
Better than emo femboy skinny jean crap
Because they stopped making them!
They sucked though, the leg ends would always end up getting wet, muddy, and/or torn off
I really liked this cut, and would like them to come back. I used safety pins to keep the ends off the ground.
So you hemmed them to a more typical pant leg length?
No, just the back, so I didn't step on them.
Probably after we got tired of walking around with soaking ankles
And absolutely shredded cuffs.
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.
Try looking for a boot cut. It's similar, kind of baggy and the cuff is oversized to fit over boots (hence the name)
This isn't what jeans look like anymore? Help me out
I just saw a high schooler wearing black ones when grabbing something to eat at the store.

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.
Man, you really didn't look very hard.
Wrangler relaxed fit boot cut
This is the answer, right here.
Idk my husband never changed, Levi’s always had these
Same. 527 is my current choice. I’m wearing a pair right now.
Levi's 569 are my jam
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.
Gonna turn your 501s into 499s

I see nothing unique about this pair of jeans.
We got tired of hiding our powerful haunches
The last time I bought jeans they still looked like this. Granted it was 2003, but still.
When the ends of our jeans looked all freyed and hemmed
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.

I got tired of the torn up cuffs and jean cuffs are uncomfortable to walk on when you don't have shoes on.
What up skaterboi?
They've started wearing them again
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.
Who said I don't?
My leg length is right though..
"Why does fashion" basically.
Could everyone stop pretending like you decide objectively what you wear.
How is this different from regular ass jeans?
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.
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.
