I am going to resolve this by checking what Target is selling or something simple like that, but I am open to suggestions!

I am specifically interested in fashion for the masses and not, like, runway stuff.

  • Update 2025-12-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Resolution Procedure:

    • Step 1: Survey the current offerings in major retail stores.

    • Step 2: Observe the actual fashion choices of teenagers at public places like Starbucks.

Note: Stores may strike out sometimes, and teenage fashion trends can change rapidly.

I was under the impression they're not considered "fashionable" in the present, compared to say skinny jeans, but I may be completely out of the loop lol

Reminds me of that scene in one of the avengers movies

Chris Pratt: is footloose still the greatest movie of all time?

Tom Holland: it... never was

Arguably fashionableness is just oppressive conformism and we shouldn't let it dictate our style, but if we really want to measure it, a poll of your peers may be more informative than what a store is trying to sell, I find they're often trying to sell stuff that's extremely unfashionable lol

@TheAllMemeingEye This is a good point to clarify: here's the procedure. Step (1) is to go and see what the stores are hawking. Step (2) is go to a Starbucks and see if the teenage girls are, in fact, wearing those things. I think the stores do strike out sometimes. Although it does occur to me that teenage girls outgrow their pants faster than adults, I guess.

Skinny jeans have already completed this cycle and now all the teens' jeans are super baggy. I have confirmed literally today. 😎

@julia yeah baggy pants are definitely fashionable right now. The one thing I’m not sure about is whether they’re passed the point of the cycle yet where target would stock them. Presumably they will be by 2026.

@julia lol time for me to join the elderly zoomer "back in my day before all these skibidi gyats" club

@TheAllMemeingEye I actually made this market because someone in my peer group DID buy these pants and I am trying to figure out if they're a good investment. 😆
