Any 90's kids here still wear wide legs?

I never understood the JNCO craze, I noticed a ton of kids wearing em in JHS and I thought they looked ridiculous, maybe my sense of fashion was way ahead of its time. In any case, you gotta give props to whoever it was that popularized it, we'll call him casiotech beta for now.
 
When I was 19 I had a pair of JNCO's. They were black and HUGE. I loved them, the guy I married did not. I got rid of them and never looked back.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.
 
i wish i wouldve sold my JNCO collection back in 1997 and purchased Diesel instead

Buy Low, Sell High!!!
 
The only people I saw wearing these were ravers in the mid 90s. I may have owned a pair or two myself :shiftyeyes;

Indeed, this is why I wore those. I seem to only remember owning JNCO and Kikwear. The largest pair I had was 50" per leg, my friend had a pair that was 69", talk about wearing a dress. These days I wear loose fitting jeans for the most part, I have some more form fitting jeans but they tend to be uncomfortable at times. I would suggest looking into the more "hip-hop" style jeans, Rocawear, Girbaud, SeanJohn, etc.. these will not be AS baggy, but they will still be loose and comfortable.
 
JNCO as a jeans brand was halted sometime around 2005 or 2006 and has since been replaced by a new brand, J&Company, which is touted as being a more premium denim brand serving both women, men and even maternity. According to the official phone number listed on the JNCO website, the JNCO brand may re-enter the market, but that may be a ways off.[1]

Currently the JNCO website says it's under construction. (9/3/08)
 
Ugh.. to answer your question, OP, no, I do not have those anymore. I had a few pairs and glad to say they are loooong gone.

I think that fashion fad was just as bad as the skinny emo jeans now. Why not find pants to flatter your body? I suggest that to males and females.

You speak the truth. I don't know what your statement has to do with my story about my JNCO's. 😕

Because some people want to be like Mr Pickles.
 
I had a pair of JNCO's in middle school for about 3 months. After that I stopped wearing them entirely and went back to normal clothes.

Joke by the late great Mitch Hedberg, not sure exactly why he thought that was relevant.

Right. I got that, but I don't see the relevance either. Did the late Mitch also rock out with JNCO's?

I, too, remember seeing Diesel jeans back in the day and nobody cared about Diesel jeans. They were cheap, too.
Funny how things change in time.
