If you needed further proof that fashion is cyclical, here it is. Parachute pants became a hit in the 1980s and were made trendy by breakdancers, who liked both their smooth surface and comfortable, generous cut. And they have the nickname “parachute” after the parachute – not only the material but also the drawstrings, which are characteristic of these trendy pants, were similar.
Another Y2K trend on the scene
After the fashion wave of the eighties, parachute pants almost disappeared, only to be rediscovered two decades later. At the turn of the new millennium, they were worn by all pop stars and from video clips (for example Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera from 1999), pants have freely spread to the streets. While during the eighties they were worn more by men, in the second wave they were taken up by women in a big way. They then realized that short tops go perfectly with cool pants and that in addition to the hips, which were revealed in a big way at the time, you can also show a piece of the stomach. Today, similar styles are also being used generation Zbut you can wear these pants even if you were born (long) before 1995.
Parachute pants are another in a series of Y2K trends that refer to the period around 2000. And let’s face it, this is a fashion that will never become mass. The trousers, evoking rustlers, are aimed at women who like to play with fashion and enjoy the trend of wide cuts, which have been popular for quite a few seasons. And as much as it may seem like this is a trend exclusively for teenagers, it’s not. If fashionable trousers attract you, don’t worry about your date of birth and try to style them in your own image. You can be inspired, for example, by Instagram icon Grece Ghanem, who will be sixty next year.

Parachute pants and what to wear them with
How to fit parachute pants when you’re under ten and don’t want to wear a micro top? It is not only what you complement your pants with, but also what you reach for that is essential. The basic variant is made of nylon and usually has a drawstring at the waist and at the end of the legs. And often pockets too, which puts them in a similar group as cargo pants. They can be worn on your hips, but you don’t have to. Feel free to move them higher, and if you are not attracted to the typical nylon, try a denim version. The question is also how wide a variety you will go for and whether you will dare to go for a color or stick to the classic black or beige.
If you want to give parachute pants a little lift, add heels. Of course, the combination with sneakers is also allowed, but it looks very casual and sporty. Pants are a distinctive element in themselves, so we recommend mixing them with basic pieces such as simple tank tops or t-shirts. You can then add a jacket over this layer, which will add seriousness to the trousers, or perhaps a light bomber jacket.
