LemuelI have the first Cross suit in XXL. I break it out in full once a year, it’s so baggy but is tailored a bit.
orage had a couple tweed kits back around 08. I have the jam tweed pants, really wish I had that jacket to match
JibbcoreHarlaut pants need to be on there it made everyone ski with baggy pants and every company makin baggy pants
SlowbroTrack pants in 2014ish (unfortunately)
JibbcoreAnd before baggy pants everyone was trying to look like The Bunch
Way*MoFashion is cyclical. There were periods of super baggy clothes before now. Harlaut didn’t unilaterally popularize it. It was just the time for them to come back around.
Christian_BaleI think it's important to remember that back then there were no harlaut, vulgus, capeesh, anytides, arsenic strides, etc. Don't think there were lizard or r3 either. Not a lot of great options for snow pants, especially if you were trying to get a straighter fit without the pants being tighter around the knees and flaring out around the boots. So in hindsight it's easier to hate on track pants but I think it really speaks to how much worse the pants situation was back then.

midwestcoastNot that I'm for or against it, but jerseys should get a shoutout. There was definitely a time where ya'd see tons of edits with basketball, hockey, etc. teams being repped. I appreciate when pros are repping wherever they're from - I can't say the same when I see a Dallas Cowboys jersey and ruroc combo....

trebthetrapgodI'm writing a blog on how skiing's freestyle silhouette has changed dramatically over time and it wouldn't be right to not include the people of NS in this project. What are your top fashion moments in skiing?

BmxyyI'll schiz out and make a WHOLE video diving deep. Imo ski clothes haven't been fully original since Oakley software. We've been ripping off snowboarding and skating ever since. Bunch of rich white dudes trying to dress "GANGSTA" with their tall t's and baggy pants. Fully sagged. I think it's all cool but, sometimes you gotta look at the irony of it all. A lot of people try to claim the reason we slimmed down was because of "The Bunch" but there was a lot of guys wearing those kind of fits way before them. Baggy just became the new norm and everyone got bored. So everyone slimmed down a bit. It was just The Bunch also happened to have a really cool trick selection and spot selection so they were the most prevalent when it came to the "core" side of things. ALSO just like when everyone was wearing track pants. Some people looked awesome wearing track pants. Like Krypto, and Seidel. And the people looking HORRENDOUS wearing track pants ends up ruining it for the people that looked good in them. Same stuff happened to baggy. Even the OG stept guys started to slim down. Swear I saw a clip of Jon Brogan somewhere, wearing super slim pants. Which is mad ironic cuz every golden age doomer brings up jon brogan.
My main problem with ski pants now.... is regular pants fit more like how "skinny" ski pants fit back then. And now the slim ski pants just look like leggings. Grown men showing their leg profile. But I don't need pants that wrap around my leg and flap behind me like a flag baggy. MC Hammer skiers. Just get me some regular straight legged pants that don't cinch around the knees... bell bottom ski pants wearers. Go hike up a mountain and enjoy how tight ur pants feel around ur knees. AND SCREW CARGO POCKETS AND BUTT POCKETS! I'd love to get Capeesh pants but then you go to a big resort and start feeling like a Clone Trooper.
Anyways, at the end of the day. Don't worry about "what everyone thinks is cool". Do what you think is cool. Sometimes you do have to take a hint though and properly portion your fit out. IF YOU SUCK AT SKIING, MUST READ SENTENCE!! Dress like you suck at skiing. Don't put on all the sickest gear expecting all the local's to FW you. And continue to get confused as to why the jerry wearing denim jeans is their friend who can barely grind a rail. Most of us can't even afford your goggles. So when you come up to us, bringing it up. Asking for validation repeatedly. It gets annoying. Idc if you're good or bad at skiing. If you're a chill or funny person, most of us will give you tips. We don't care if you got close to back 2's ,3 weeks ago and due to your pants not being baggy enough. You don't have the confidence to stop being a pussy. It's the wizard not the wand.... Hope I get a A+ on my newschoolers essay.
BmxyyI CAN GO ON FOR HOURS I'LL NEVER STOP! WE ALL WANTED YELLOW PANTS! So Far So Hood came out and next szn every jiberish pilled park skier was wearing yellow pants. Then due to EVERYONE wearing yellow pants, it became wack. Fits, colors, and styles are always going to swing back and forth. Right now we're back to the all black fits. Until we all at once want to bring color into our lives and OVER DO IT LIKE WE ALWAYS DO!!! GAHHHHH. Just like the baggy pants. PLZ FOR THE LORD AND SAVIOR OF STEEZUS CHRIST THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAGGY AND MC HAMMER PANTS! use your eyes
Bmxyyreal OGs know about First Drop... Eventually turned into Virtika the beginning of the end
mikemI’ve seen LV goggles and guicci googles this Christmas week on hill.
Depending on the paper it might be an opportunity to expand on the contrast of the “poor freestyle bro” vs the “rich skier”. And how this duality maybe fuels the freestyle bro to dress more thug/gangster as a means to revolt against a bigger system.
KungKalmarI will do the opposite. Santa claus better bring me those prada pants so I can thug my straight airs like a fashion influencer.
What you said might happen with the core crowd but overall I feel like I have seen more of those popular fashion brands in the park. Mostly vests, jackets or hoodies. After all skiers usually come from middle class or better backgrounds. Honestly those suburban kids wearing fashion brands in the park seem less prententious than suburban kids prentending to be poor or gangsters.
iDontHitRailsthe new wave of park skiing fashion of huge pants with a tiny arcteryx jacket looks so dumb. these kids are walking around looking like a chess piece thinking their fit is fire. foul
