Trends come and go, but some keep returning while bringing nostalgia. Case in point? The Y2K aesthetic and cargo pants trend has taken the world by storm owing to their timeless appeal when worn on the streets. Similarly, another trend has come to light and is quickly becoming a ladies’ fave this year, commonly known as ‘Parachute Pants.’
What Are Parachute Pants and Why Have They Become Popular?
We’ve talked about the resurgence of these relaxing pants, but did these pants come to the limelight the first time? It all started in the ’80s and 90’s when it was considered ‘cool’ and ‘funky’ to wear these pants along with baguettes, tubes, and tank tops. However, if we pinpoint the exact instance or reason for the popularity, we would blame MC Hammer for introducing the idea of pants that look loose and breathable. And the rest is history!
These pants aren’t your typical off-duty trousers; they offer much more versatility than any loungewear or street style fashion staple. The latest interpretations of parachute pants have an elastic waist, a roomy fit, and a relaxed silhouette. And just around the ankle, they are tapered.
Which Celebrities & Influencers Have Worn Parachute Pants?
As we inch towards the winter season, transitional outfits are the ideal choice for fashionistas, and parachute pants check all the boxes of style and comfort. If you’ve been following trends in recent times, you will notice that several celebrities and social media influencers on Instagram and TikTok are donning parachute pants with sexy tops and off-duty staples. Hailey Bieber is one of the most prominent megastars who came out wearing super cute easy-breezy pants.
Apart from Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner isn’t behind when it comes to sporting these chic pants. Just this year, we saw her wearing cream-colored cargo parachute pants paired with a white top and oversized sunglasses in her Instagram stories posted this year. And let’s be honest, she looks gorgeous in anything she wears, but we think these free-flowing pants just make her statement much more effortless.
