If you grew up in the 1980s and 1990’s you probably are familiar with parachute pants. These are also known as harem pants and were seen worn by singers like MC Hammer, he even preferred people to call them hammer pants. These are very different than the pants that are worn now as people traded baggy pants for skinny jeans. Despite trends changing, because of social media, we are being exposed to old-school styles causing them to return to pop culture.

Fashion always tends to recycle, the past looks will repeat themselves in a couple of years. Right now parachute pants have made their comeback in the last two years and if you’re wondering why well then keep on reading.

A lot of stores are recreating fashions we see in older shows like “Friends” “Sex and The City” “The Fresh Prince of Belair” and many more. Fast fashion brands also keep up with trends quickly, and most of them like Forever 21 catch on when something is appealing to the consumers. Clothes like crop tops, mom jeans, bucket hats, and more are returning just like parachute pants.
