In the early 1990s, Baggy Pants / Jeans became a craze. Hip-Hop had become dominant then and long baggy shorts became a trend amongst the youngsters.

Some claim that hip-hop community copied the pants that prisoners used to wear when they are imprisoned and adopted to that. Some say Baggy pants originated with black basketball stars who objected to the short shorts that was compulsorily being followed then for many years and began to wear longer baggie shorts. Yet others claim that baggy jeans took its shape or rather originated in the skateboarding and snowboarding communities where the participants requiring freedom of movement and at the same time wanted to look different from other people.
