Da baggy era, a fashion retropective.

[jape]

shirt way too big
pants way too big and sagging
hat too big
shoes never tied
backpack hanging down as far as it can go

not sure how we used to move at all back then

 

[finessence]

Mfers ain’t see they real physique for like 15 years....

“Damn, I never knew how my real body looked”

wardrobe really had gastric bypass surgery

 

[Hahahaha]

The funny thing is a lot of the hip hop brands were cut like ****. A small in those brands would be an XL today. S, M, L the cut was the almost the same except the length of the shirt.

 

[Mark Antony]

Damn thinking bout it, did Jim Jones usher us outta the baggy era?

 

[kn0wledgeable]

Miss this era. Baggy clothes are so comfortable. Can't wait for it to come back eventually.

 

[sooperhooper]

Fubu shirts sleeves were criminally long. Legit went halfway down your forearm.

We looked like some fools back in the day.

in 04 I was probably 5’4” and 130 pounds. No earthly reason why I was wearing 3xl t shirts.

I had a huge hatred for dudes like you
3XL Akademiks t-shirts were hard to come by sometimes because dudes that weighed damn near under 100lbs we’re getting them all smfh

 

[Platinum State]

I still love big *** xxxl t-shirts even though I weigh 170. Hate rocking normal size tees cause theyre not as comfy.

 

[ahat]

Damn I remember baggy *** jorts

Teacher in highschool used to talk **** like "you guys steal a midgets jeans? Haha"

H.O.B.O

Appropriately named

 

[cedric ceballos]

what’s crazy is I’m assuming that Soulja boy pic is from 07 or so. I remember the baggy stuff starting to get phased out around 04 when people were on that “grown and sexy” stuff. But in certain regions of the country the baggy stuff made its way well into 09 and beyond lol.

 

[ninjahood]

some people credit the end of baggy era to Kanye....

wouldn't really be true...

Jim slimmed up before Kanye. "purple haze" video shoot Kanye still
was in transition.

 

[Thats My Word]

You got a lotta ja-bow jeans, ha?

 

[finessence]

Shoulder seems at the elbow

whole tee shirt

Jim Jones DID not slim up. He clothes still were baggy. New Boys/Kid Cudi was the ones who reallllly slimmed. Jim Jones still wore bootcuts

naw, da funny part is "grown and sexy" button up era came out before people slimmed up, but after da jersey era, so you got Jay-Z talking bout he too grown for jerseys swimming in 5xl button ups and baggy *** jeans

probably da worst trend/era in fashion.... Michael Jordan retired when this era was popping so his style literally froze in time in 2004-2005

 

[alchemist iq]

jay was def the pioneer of the button up shirt era.
He told y'all to "Change clothes and Go".
We all listened.

Kanye west wasn't around in front of da cameras till his 1st album in 2005..

Skate Board P was ahead of everyone in hip-hop, but as far as da rap Masses? Capo for sure.

 

[ninjahood]

here's cam for comparison

same photoshoot/video

Juelz was in between, transitioning

 

[ninjahood]

I love how paid in full was a period piece but still had cats wild oversized in the “80’s”

no I'm not going to lie, da size that they were wearing in that movie was pretty on point..

that movie Low-key made me start to think about slimmi up because I thought da way Camron and mekhi phifer style was dope.

 

[SplinterMatic319]
