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.

Same. 527 is my current choice. I’m wearing a pair right now.

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.

I have several pants like this, they're still common second-hand.

Probably after we got tired of walking around with soaking ankles

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.

When the ends of our jeans looked all freyed and hemmed

Dusty, too. Washed jeans went from white to blue, unwashed from blue to brown.

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 just saw a high schooler wearing black ones when grabbing something to eat at the store.

So what? We’ve had black jeans in this world for a long time. It’s not a new thing seeing people wear them

Meme:

why did boys stop wearing jeans like this??

My answer:

(I.E. They are still wearing them, and in different colors)

Oh I see. I took OPs message as the style of jeans I.e. washed blue jeans that have baggy long legs.

Seems like most kids still wear jeans today but the style is way different. From what I have seen they like skin tight jeans, washed or unwashed. To me that would be widely uncomfortable but to each their own I guess.

It might be by locale. I live a couple blocks from a high school and I'm seeing the opposite. Kids are wearing baggier and baggier jeans, some even near JNCO style.

The last time I bought jeans they still looked like this. Granted it was 2003, but still.

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)

Well these days we have the stretchy ones. Originally I disliked them, as not real jeans, butI started to like them as soon as I got fat.

"Why does fashion" basically.

Could everyone stop pretending like you decide objectively what you wear.

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.

You could not do sick kicks easily in them boys, or climb trees, I destroyed many a pair with my thick ass thighs.

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.

Dudes were tired of only ladies getting yeast infections and demanded some tight ass pants.
