As you grow up you learn to trust your instincts and wear what is comfortable and what you as an individual feel confident in. Fads/trends always fade and yes maybe pieces of that DNA float about in fashion but that's what the "fashion" world does. They always want you to chase after the next trend.. It's better to have your own style and experiment here and there with something that is natural to a style that you have already cultivated.

So glad someone addressed this. Very well laid out. I’m leaving my oversized jeans to the 90s. Carry on slim fit!

As a huskier man, I appreciate the oversized look. I recently got some straight cut jeans and feel a bit odd since I'm used to more fitted pants. However, I'm at stage that I still haven't found my style so it's fun experiment with colors and different silhouettes.

I am not wearing skinny jeans ever again, but I have found that a high waist tapered look to be amongst my favorite.
I like that clothes aren't as tight anymore and people can rock whatever they want especially vintage looking items.

I hope that buying second hand products sticks around.

As a man whos been on this earth for 40 years it brings me great joy that the oversize clothes is coming back in style because now its more advanced i cant wait to see how artsy these clothing companies come up with!

[Scott.Sandifer]

I cannot believe oversized clothes are coming back. Horrifying.
I only recently found how lovely fitted clothes look on me, and wasn't ever going baggy again.
Thrilled to hear I'm not the only one. My fear is that well fitting clothes will become difficult to find.

[RicardoRandom]

Amen! I did baggy in the 90s. Never going back. I’m not immune to trends, but I prefer to make them work within my own parameters.

Having a similar build to you, I was a major proponent of having everything fitted, ESPECIALLY jeans, because of their popularity and what they do for shorter slimmer builds. I worked for Levi's, so it was 511, then 510's and now 512's. Just recently, I've been trying out different styles, and I'm appreciating what a looser fitting jean can do. Not baggy, but like a 501, but the right kind of 501. Less surface area touches my legs, so it feels cooler than a slimmer jean, which has denim making contact everywhere on your lower half, causing extra warmth on hot days(at least it feels like it). A regular fitting pair of cuffed jeans and a t shirt can really look and feel good, it's just a mental block I'm having to overcome.

I started wearing Oversized clothes because they're more comfortable and besides is better for hot places I hate wearing skinny jeans now
But yeah everybody wears whatever they want

As an 80s boy, I grew up with baggy and loose clothes. I continued wearing them long after they went out of style in the 2000s. Being a thin guy of shorter stature, I eventually switched to fitted clothing and I find they suit my size and build a lot better. I've worn baggy clothes my whole life, but even though they might be back in fashion, I'm not switching back

[Eddiewinkicks]

Im not ready to go back to baggy jeans…I like to dabble in trends but not go all in. Great vid 👍🏼

[djb]

I say, let the teens and 20 whatevers wear what they think looks good. Anybody over than 30 know that good style is timeless. That means clothes that fit and match color appropriately.

[ealrada]

As a fashion enthusiast, I don't let the fashion companies to force me to wear what they want us to wear! I absolutely DISLIKE the new baggy trend and will keep wearing slim/ skinny fit cloths which fit my physic better!

[Fokai]

Wore the baggy clothes in the 90’s. I’m gonna keep that style back there and stick to my fitted shirts and slim fit jeans.

[mycaminspo]

I’m definitely not switching back to baggy I’m 5”2 built fit and baggy will just make me look super short 😆 I’m all for slim fits

[anonymousotter]

The key to baggy clothes imo is to have just one baggy item, and keep the rest of your clothes straight/slim-straight. This way, you'll enhance your silhouette while not looking like you don't know what you're doing. For example, wear an unbuttoned oversized shirt/chore coat with straight fit pants. Or wear wide, tapered, and cropped pants with a regular fitting bomber.

Since you asked, while I really like the artistic side of fashion right now, I understand that clothes are just clothes and it's a very real possibility that one day I'll wake up and not find fashion fun anymore. Even if this situation happens, since I have mostly only basic clothing, I'll still be able to look good.

As a man of a certain age (that being 39), I wore big and baggy clothes for a long time. A few years ago, I began learning a bit more about style and in doing so, learned about sizing and that it’s a good idea to try your clothes on first when possible. Now that I’m more comfortable wearing slimmer fitting garments, I plan on keeping what I have instead of going back to my late 90s-00s ways.

In terms of fit, wear what works best for you personally. This will always be the best advice. The people pushing the oversized clothing trend just happen to have body types that work well with a looser fit.

[schmsbyy]

I was a big supporter of wearing slim fit jeans and even skinny ones as they tend to make you look taller. So I shrug my head every time I see a loose fitting jeans. After the height of the pandemic, a lot of trends got hot including the 90's loose fitting clothing and jeans so I decided to give them a try. 1 year into it and I'm only wearing loose/regular fitting clothing and jeans now. Slim fit jeans makes me uncomfortable and irritable and I cannot believe how I was able to survive the torture of wearing them most of my life. Especially now that I decided to workout seriously so I gained a lot of muscle mostly on my legs.

[GODMODE]

I’ve always liked the “oversized” 90’s sort of drop shoulder tops, bc as a wider short man, I feel that they’re more comfortable and look for effortless.

[NPCwars]

Still rocking slim fit. Baggy clothes aint my thing.
