The baggy clothes seem back in fashion very strange?

Never was a fan of the "baggy" or boxy look-- if I wanted to look like I was wearing too-big clothes, I'd go back to being a skinny kid in hand-me-downs. Also, I don't go to the gym so I can wear muu-muu-like clothing that makes me look chubby (and I'm not one of those people who could flap around in tent-like clothes and still look fit). I prefer my clothes to be well-fitting so they look like they were actually bought for me and bought in the correct size. In stores, looking at "XS" tops and dresses that I and a friend could both wear at the same time isn't my thing (then again, next trend I guess we'll get back into the 2000s with "XL" tops I could only have comfortably worn at age 10).
I got out my wide-leg jeans today-- the ones that look rather 90s-tastic-- but as cute as they are, they make my legs look short and chunky. I think one has to have a really tall, long-legged, willowy build to pull those off well. I'm thin but don't look proportionally tall so baggy clothing always makes me look a lot more stumpy than I am. I also think baggy or wide-leg pants mostly work well if they're well-fitted through the waist and hips and only the legs are wide/flowy; the baggy-butt look doesn't work well/look nice for many people, either male or female.

I think it’s true. Baggy works better on tall and thin, rather than short and wide. It kind of depends upon the proportions of the outfit. Baggy tops on skinny pants and snug tops on wide pants.
Ha ha! I am one of those lucky people with a high metabolism but I see the kids walking to school these days and the fat kids outnumber the normal weight kids.
I do live in a fat state but it hasn't always been this fat.

Yes. Back in the 90s I did sort of think the "wide leg pants, well-fitted top" look was cute.
I have always worn "roomy" clothes. Given my body shape, that's a requirement. If I was to wear skinny jeans, I would be arrested for making people physically ill as I walk by. I do not like clothes that are clingy, and remove all of the labels and such from shirts as they cause itching.
The only fashion trend I've ever followed is not shaving every day, because shaving is annoying.
I notice in New York that guys and girls are wearing baggy pants and long baggy sweatshirts or long baggy t-shirts but in Los Angeles it is the skin tight skinny look no one in LA wears baggy clothing not even the street gangs.
I hear that fashion trends start in New York and trickle to LA a year or two later. I’m wondering what other cities you notice doing the opposite. I hear the west coast cities are like different country as even the 90s and 2000s the baggy look was not think there other than the Bay Area but LA never was into it even at that time.
Sounds like pure ignorance.
The West Coast is the brain of the country. West coast invented blue jeans and all of the technology that you use in ny. LA does not even think about ny when they dress or do anything whatsoever. Out of sight. Out of mind. It's the opposite. The NY Times has a whole section dedicated to following California. Soon as we export something like an Apple store, Tesla, or In N Out, nyc is all over it. Know this: CA started the whole skinny style in the mid 90s--when ny was wearing Enyce--but kept some of the baggy look throughout the years. It's nothing new. CA is larger/better than ny.
