Growing up in the 80's had to be one of the BEST decades ever. Brought the world so many new styles, genres of music, technology and more. One of the Biggest style fads that comes to mind in the Hip Hop/ Break dancing era were the Parachute pants. I even had a few pairs myself. These pants were awesome back in the day and to be honest we have MC. Hammer to thank for them becoming such a huge style. Say what you will about Hammer but the man had style like no other back than and could dance his ass off.
There were different styles of these pants. Some were extremely baggy and just about hung down to your knees, Others were not as baggy. and some even had zippers in them. There were also different names for these pants depending on where you grew up I suppose, and or what you were into. They were seen in many movies back in those days. Even ladies started to wear them. Talk about a fad. Now 20+ some odd years later and you can still purchase these pants. You can even purchase the retro 1980's Hammer Gold Pants.
