ETA: OK, maybe we're talking about different things. I'm thinking Hammer pants when I see that. I hope it's something different LOL

Ok....slang words anyone?

"Dope"

"Ice"

"Fresh...."

all variants of "Cool"

I am looking for a skit Mad TV did back in the day that broke down the word "Cool"
I was thinking more of the material than the style. They made them in all styles. Also, this is definitely junior high 1999-2001, but the two-in-one pants shorts combo were big. As we're and I shutter to say I ever put them on my body, cargo shorts.

OK, I remember the pants/shorts combos. I didn't think of those as "parachute" pants, though. I put those in the "track pants" category.

And yes, I also fell victim to the cargo pants/shorts trend *le sigh*

Oooooh the raver pants! I had two pair of those in college..... didn't wear them often but they were soooooooo comfortable. And yes, it felt like a parachute without being MC Hammer pants.

I had a couple of pairs of those parachute pants, but they weren't as wide.

And they were cream colored. Why was THAT a good idea?

jeans in different colors
patterned tights (lace designs, etc.)
Reebok hightops in different, bright colors (I had a pair of turqoise in suede )
brightly colored silk shirts to match our brightly colored reebok (it was cool to wear pink silk shirt and pink reebok...with black stretch or skinny jeans...)
airbrushed tshirts or jean outfits (EWWWWWW )
jeans with leather on the front
v-neck sweaters with knee length jean shorts and canvas shoes
Are those the big silver earrings that you would engrave with your initials?
My sisters wore those in college, but I was never into silver then.
