    I graduated in 2005, and by then bell bottoms on girls were back in fashion; they didn’t quite hit the ground, there was just a little bit of the sole of her tennis shoe and a bit of toe visible. I kinda liked that look, then we went with 20 years of “heat shrink that ends an inch above the ankle” for some reason.

      Pretty sure the reason is butts

      I just asked my wife who graduated 2001. She says they were popular late middle school/early HS which would have been like 96–98. I was in Canada at that time so makes sense I wouldn’t have noticed.

      I remember the bell bottoms coming back. Big fan of the 2000s remix version.

      heat shrink

      I tried some jeans once that I could barely get on. The guy said those were considered baggy. That was when I knew for certain fashion was stupid.
