Parachute pants: Will anyone confess?

[kx250rider]

All these other posts in the threads on those weird pattern loose pants from the late 80s-early 90s... And the B-ball shoes, and all... Someone even admits to a fanny pack!

Let's see if any bro will come forward and say they wore parachute pants to a club in the early-mid 80s... I don't even see a picture anywhere on the Net, as I guess everybody wants to forget! I mean the baggy black silk shiny pants with 10 zipper pockets. Guys wore them for clubbing in the mid 80s, and maybe only for about 1 year. They were stupid-looking, and made you sweat immediately. I owned a pair at the time, but never had the courage to wear them... Not even once.

no parachute pants, but I did have the pastel jackets/ pants, really low necked t-shirts and Capezio dancing shoes, skinny leather ties at times, etc.... lol
mid 80's, Dallas, X was legal and could be bought from most bartenders for 20.00 bucks. I was in my 20's then... I did rock a serious mid-back "Billy Joe Cyrus style" mullet too.

What about UFO's? lol. The pants that had the reflector hanging out of the pocket. A lot of my guy friends had them.
Totally ridiculous.

oh hell no....i had friends who wore those but i never bought into that. Same with the really BIG pant leg jeans like Jinco (sp?) and karl kanai (sp?)

I had a pair of Diesel pants I bought when i was 15 or so that were like a combination of workout pants and MC hammer genie pants, but they actually looked pretty cool.

I had a whole closet of Z Cavaricci clothes. They sold suits, pants, and shirts. The pants were really high waisted, my suit was a neutral cotton color, very cool at the time...

check out the link, mine were cooler than these but the writer hit the nail on the head with the description... LOL

I'm pretty much immune to fashion trends.

I never had the parachute, but rocked some sweet ass camo pants with all the cargo pockets. I think I was in 4th grade.
