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.

What's old is new again, nothing is new or original anymore. Just more baggier and add on different materials or colors it's a new style again.

I happened to be stopped at a long red light while a local high school was getting out, with bunches of kids crossing the street to the auxiliary parking lot. Most of the girls were wearing what looked like pajama bottoms, others very baggy sweat pants, and a few in shorts. On top there were mostly Tee shirts but also some crop tops. Most pf the boys were in shorts and tee shirts. Despite being March in the Northwest/Seattle area it was a rare warm day at 70F.

The only baggy clothes I've noticed in the Denver area were on a young couple who were Russian immigres, trying to look trendy, lol. They stood out like sore thumbs in the cashier line at the bank. I haven't seen that in NM, either, which tends to be a world apart fashion-wise, anyway.

I don't remember the baggy look in the Bay Area in the 90's, unless it was toward the end of the 90's. I definitely recall a return of flared or bell-bottom jeans, low rise to show the waist with slightly cropped tops. That was early 90's. Even women's designer stores in San Francisco at the time were selling women's business suiting with bell-bottom pants in luxury fibers.

Heck, I have to wear "baggy" clothes, unless I get all of my clothes custom made. Im in between sizes, so most everything goes up to the next size. Usually, though, most of the clothes I buy will shrink enough afer a few washed to actually fit.

I hope pleated pants make a comeback.

There's nothing more fashion forward than wearing pants that look you have taken a dump in them, especially when choosing to wear oversized boxers under them. Do they not have three-sided mirrors in dressing rooms anymore?

That may have been in Oakland. But I don’t think baggy look was really thing on the west coast like it was in the east coast and rust belt cities.

Skinny jeans are out, that's for sure. Right now the Y2K/2000's are in while the 2010's are out.
