Fashion Flashback Friday! Remember Those Incredibly Baggy JNCO Jeans

These weren't so much a thing for girls - although I had an exceedingly wide and long pair of Susst jeans that I wore the ends off - back in the late '90s men developed a grá for big pants.

Since then we've been noting men's trews getting skinnier and skinnier and while we're happy for men to not start wearing leggings we're not sure we like the thought of JNCO jeans making a comeback. Because they're hideous. 

The baggiest trousers that man has ever seen, were incredibly popular in the late '90s and the early 2000s and  it seems that JNCO are about to come screaming back into our lives. I

Their popularity defies logic, even taking into account the fact that yesteryear's fashion statements look silly with hindsight, but the company has "received a large influx of capital from a Chinese investor" and is aiming to dominate the style scene again in 2015. That's right, the man in your life can look this cool again soon enough, if you can get your hands on a pair, which we can only imagine will fly off the shelves.

The brand will release a "heritage collection", featuring some of the 'classic styles' of jeans, although whether they will reach the epic 36 inch leg openings of the originals, we won't know until they get released. There will also be a number of other collections too, but all we care about are dem jeanz.

Lookit, as long as Susst and X-Works stay in our distant memories, we'll cope. But as we see 90s fashions like brown lips, spaghetti strap tops and more coming back into fashion, is there anything from your wardrobe that you'll be revisiting?
