I’m not sure about that tbh. I think many millennials have 9-5 jobs vs gen z who just started working or are still in uni. If you work a 9-5 it’s tough to pull up to the office with wide leg jeans. A lot of the gen z fashion is also influenced by things millennials used to wear when growing up. So it’s just a repetition for many. So it’s a tricky one. Gen z didn’t invent the current trend but is inspired by what millennials used to wear and millennials won’t spend money on clothes they can’t wear.

I definitely agree, but Gen Z looks odd in them, it’s as if the pants are wearing them. Another way to say it is ‘trying to hard’.

I think for a lot of millennials, such as myself, the reason why we are reluctant to fully embrace wide leg/baggy styles today is because we already did decades ago. Late 90's and early 00's baggy jeans were the norm, due to the popularity of hip hop, and nu metal. It wasn't until the mid 00's were skinny/slimmer jeans took over. So for a lot of us, we just out grew that style.

Millennial here and I disagree. I was so happy when all the 90s stuff came back around, though that might partially be because I was a kid and didn't get to do much with it at the time.

Drew focusing on the age groups he is familiar with is understandable. Gen X here, most of us know fashion repeats over & over. My current and forever fav in addition to a wide leg pant is a kick flare. Levi’s has a vintage 517 that gives a good leg. Some of my timeless collectibles have been in my wardrobe since 2000. Being 48 and still plugged into fashion is the most liberating feeling. One word of advice is to be very careful about purging over the years. Some of the best fashions you’ll come across are in your young closets right now.

One thing to note about gen Z style I do feel like there is a contrast between online tiktok fashion and what gen z people wear in everyday life which is sometimes less out there like millenials

Gen Z takes a lot of references from millennials. I see a lot of 90’s rave , 90’s skaters, grunge aesthetic, 90’s/Y2K boy and girl bands, and 90’s/Y2K hip hop and R&B, and now even the 90’s/Y2K preppy look with the quiet luxury trend And it’s not just the pants. But the sunglasses, proportions, fits…heck even the way people edit photos and videos to have that retro VHS or film aesthetic. I see gen z’s style as taking millennial fashion and trying to recreate it with their own flavour

as millennial, 92 i wore in puberty a lot of hip hop style so wide pants became normal and natural. i did go for skinny as well to try it out. now i have big collections of different pants and choosing them as pieces where fit, color, texture and fit need to be in perfect harmony and historical reference is a bonus. that gives me a big range to express and i dont feel bound to one thing.

millennial here. gen z typically does fashion IN GENERAL better than we did. BUT... they wouldn't be able to do what they do without the failures of us and the generations before us. as a millennial, i've made many style mistakes over the years and i have the edge of hindsight and experience. i have a lot of g3n z kids that come to me for style tips and general fashion insight. but i definitely takes a lof of style cues from them as well.

Millennials in the 90s and early 2000s been wearing baggy jeans. Then it went to skinny now back to baggy but more refined. Fashion recycles constantly. I'm a Millennial but I like the way Gen Z has styled baggy pants. But I wear wide, slim, to straight pants depending on the look I want. Don't limit yourself to what generation you fall under.

I’m a millennial in my 30s. The baggy jeans style you see today is what we wore when I was in middle/high school, influenced by 2000s hip hop culture at the time. Then in the 2010s it went to skinny jeans. And then slim/straight leg which is what I currently wear. The gen z baggy fit doesn’t fit my current style/aesthetic, and also I’m a bigger guy and baggy clothes tend to make me look sloppy. But I do like a slightly oversized fit on a hoodie.

I always enjoy your essays and this one was also a treat. I have no horse in the Gen Z vs Millennials race, but I have to admit I'm finding it refreshing that wider-legged pants are coming back into style. I liked what we used to call skater pants because they were so much more comfortable, and I appreciated the androgynous/unisex lines that I could play with in that era for more femme or masc leaning looks. Since Millennials were driving the locomotive on the train to the skinny jeans apocalypses, I have to say that I appreciate Gen Z pants style in this era and I'm glad to see some new things that I can adapt to my style. And I'd agree, the older viewers are more likely to stay until the end of the post-vid vid.

It’s hard to choose without feeling bias, due to loose fitting/ baggy bottoms being so popular and refreshed into daily fashion I’m going to lean towards that look (though I’m millennial) I still remember the shift in the early 2000’s when I started wearing skinny’s and felt so misunderstood fashion wise because all of my peers were still rocking baggy fits with XXXL tee shirts 😂 I just feel like doing the opposite of what’s trendy will forever be my thing, being ahead of what’s in and then watching it blow up to the masses will always be satisfying.

Born in 78 but not sure what gen I feel or dress like. Absolutely adore the shoulder pads era and early maximalistic 90's but wide pants have stolen my heart a little bit. So comfy, so great to style with vintage. Not subscribing to any social media aesthetic have always been classic and going for second hand, lately designer vintage but watching a lot of fashion content. Mostly from more artsy and "intelligentia" content in break down and analysis format like yours. The whole social - interpersonal - self expression aspect is extremely fascinating. Love how also you as part of the young generation can give such a deep insight to this. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Excellent breakdown as always, Drew! I’m a Millennial (born in ‘88) but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t inspired by Gen Z’s looser more relaxed silhouettes and fits. I rode the skinny jeans wave for a few years when it was popular, and slim-taper fits were my jam Millennials after. But as someone who never rocked JNCO back in the 90s, recently I’ve been coming around to looser cuts. How have I been missing out? 😂

JNCOs were the wave in the late 90s early 00s! thanks to the punk rock/alternative scene. I remember it well and I was born a year after you.

As a millennial I think that we kind of have matured with our styles. When we wore skinny jeans back in the days, it was all about trend hopping and trying to fit in. So we wore skinny jeans because of social pressure and social media (mainly instagram). Similar what Gen Zs are experiencing now. At that moment, we never thought baggy pants will ever come back. However, it happened. And most of us realised how stupid it was to follow trends because we basically had to throw away majority of our waredrobe. So because of that, I believe that two ideas of styles developed. The first category, which probably 90 % of all millenials fall into is that they have become really basic, minimalistic and raditionel. Because of our experience with skinny jeans we shy away from any extreme sillouette. Which means no extremely baggy pants. Yes, our sillouettes are more relaxed, but never as extreme as we see Gen Zs. That is why Millenial style seems to be more sophisticated, basic, classic and some might say even boring. The second category are those 1-10 % that are still massively into fashion. Those however, do not care about trends at all and trying to implement their own ideas. This would be the celebrities that have a major influence on Gen Z fashion aswell. Because they do not shy away from wearing something new others wouldn't think about.

I love generational dressing and breaking it all down. Great video! I am the oldest of Gen X, which we never are the trend setters but the fun is we get to play in all the decades. I love what Gen Z is doing with pants. The looks are very creative! I love the wide leg pant mixed with all of the layering and even 90s preppy. It's like street wear grew up. As an older person, I watch your chanel regularly and love your takes on things. Keep up the great work!

Great timing on the mention of 3sixteen. Just in time for the throwing fits collab

To have a proper comparison, we should look at how Millennials were styling pants/clothes when they were younger, close to the age of Gen Z today. For example, you were born in 1997, so you are almost 27 today. I was born in ‘84, so I am 40 today. I bet you won’t be styling your clothes in the same way as you do today when you’ll be 40, as I don’t style my clothes the same way as I was doing when I was 27. So, kinda hard to compare because we are looking at two very different age groups. And those who are very close to the generational border, as Millennials born between ‘94-‘96 are, sociologically speaking they are considered to be a hybrid, as I am close to Xers and so on.

‘95 millennial here, I love a straight leg, wide leg, flared led, tapered leg, and balloon leg. Balloon leg right now is 😙👌 Perfect mix of a tapered leg and wide leg

I’m handing it to Millennials because I’m in Gen Z but was born in 99’ so a bunch of Zoomers on Tik Tok decided to call me Unc because I wasn’t born in the 2000s.

What I see as the generations come along, we tend to dabble in reaching back as well as melding styles from the present together to create new things. Also, I grew up in the 90s... I have an appreciation for seeing wide pants. But boy, wearing them takes so effort for me. I love a tapered pant. I can't even enjoy Levi's 501 because of how wide they look on my already big legs!

GenZ style better for sure. I remember seeing wide legged pants from most Japanese streetwear brands in the 2010s but could never get the fit to work personally i.e. I always hated pant flare and opted for a taper.

You got me with PANTALONES 😂

As a millennial, I second the post vid-video take lol

As a gen z, I love millennials fits. They dress as themself but not trying to push everything to the limit.

I agreed to that tapered/straight i never owned a skinny jeans or distressed. 2010 was the skinny jeans era😂

It’s kind of a big misconception that baggy/wide fitting pants are a new trendy thing. If you look at men’s tailoring from the 20th century, it’s overwhelmingly wide fitting pants

GenZ call themselves clowns when they see their 5 years old pics wearing the same skinny jeans which are untouchable to them today. And they will call themselves clown after 5 years when they see themselves in these loose wide fits. LOL. simple reason - New gen is quick to follow trends. and they dont care about a classic piece.

As a person born in 2005 I've never worn skinny jeans in my life, skinniest being straight fit. This is simply because I found skinny jeans uncomfortable. I severely doubt the super skinny will go back in the limelight in the foreseeable future simply because of this. People like stuff that looks good but also is comfortable. Also theres been a recent bias to just wear what you like personally and a heavy emphasis of complimenting your body type with the silhouette of your clothes. This leans towards individualism rather than the trends you speak of.

I really think the younger you are the more you experiment eland try to push boundaries in style and other topics. There comes a point where to know yourself better and you stick to what you like better. Also your body changing with age and pregnancy per example will affect what you choose no matter the trends. Every generation is having great impact on fashion and I love seeing how it evolves. Thank you for your videos and your perspective.

i try not to look at too much shit online, and do what my brain is asking for when i see myself in the mirror. lately that means very baggy jeans and clogs or pointy loafers and work or flight jackets. also really into half zip jumpers lately. but the thing i’m most inspired by is being in school for pattern making and getting to really dial in my preferences through doing shit for myself also idk everybody tries way too hard these days but i like gen z shapes more, i just want people to be wearing shit that looks like it’s *them* that’s what i strive to do myself

I don’t like supper baggy but I like loose because it’s more comfortable

I basically align with your take, born 1999, for the trousers side of things I'd be definitely aligning with Gen Z, though I began wearing trousers with such widths or at least aspiring to as far as 3/4 years ago, so I guess that would basically align me back to your take, taking inspiration from the past rather than from what's new and treninding. Just like you, I also thrift quite a lot and just enjoy stuff with that "age" to it

I’m gen X (born 1961) but influenced into loving extreme oversized low hanging pants (thrifted) paired with a tight fitting top and, to do justice to age and status (😜) an expensive looking bag

I'm 18 and I go straight/ slimmer fits all the way I hate the baggy look. Shoutout to the PVV as well btw I watch it every time

Gen has z re-introduced the wide legged pant. I’m gen x and we did wear very wide legged jeans around 1990. H&M sold the most popular model called «Super loose». Later they introduced «Mega loose».

i'm 29 and i like the roomier but tapered pant . in my earlier 20s i wore wider leg pants to be alt / different to move out the slim era and that was a lil bit before gen z ran with it. then over time i just liked the timeless look of a taper with a modern edge of some looseness. now the kicker is inseam. still working on that and going back and forth on it. it REALLY depends on how my body is interacting with the pants in correlation to my footwear. these days, i just care if it suits me and the whole shape i'm making.

wake up babe new joiner vid dropped

I am Gen X,so we grew up in the same spectrum of the progression of style as today’s youth. I saw more fitted pants in the eighties and that grew into the baggy styles of the 90’s which were heavily influenced by Hip Hop. I wore both. Fast forward to the 2010’s and coupled with the reality of growing up and maturation, so my style tends to reflect that. I’m more of a slim to straight leg pants wearing person. It’s not that I don’t find wider styles stylish but, they don’t fit in with my personal minimalism of timeless fashion pieces such as the Black Ivy style you touched on in a past vid.

I m gen z and love the PVVs 🙌🙌

I also find it hard to style skinny jeans because of my body shape, i think that skinny/tapered silhouette can be styled and look clean but i prefer volume in my bottoms because of my legs

I wore baggy pants back when I was a kid and that’s what gen z is doing now lol when they grow up I’m sure they’ll be more snug & tapered

Both, depending.

I’m gen x. I like wide leg pants. I’m so tired of skinny jeans.

I'm born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s through the 2000s.... And i thank the genZ to take us all out of skinny pants inferno!! Peace and positive vibes for 2024 🇨🇵👊

i was born in 00 and for my whole school time (not uni) we dressed in slim/skinny jeans, even when sweatpants were fashionable for a bit we used to wear them slim - the post-covid shift towards wider fits is almost against everything we believed in lmao its hard to get to like the wide pants if your whole conscious life up until recently was dominated by skinny/slim

Born in 92- but get inspo from Gen Z for sure. Shout out to Drew for acknowledging JNCO lol I never did like skinnies but wore them because I wanted to look up to date with the current trends at the time but quickly discovered straight leg was the best fit for my body type. I do go for the wider straight leg pant - not all pants are made the same btw lol so one brands straight fit might more fitted than another’s. Gen Z does pants better as far as putting dope fits together but Millennials have the timeless look like our man Drew said. Once GenZ hits their 30s I highly doubt they’ll still want to wear such wide pants lol

Millennials for the win #95baby

What's kind of cool to me is that I'm coming at this from the angle of an alternative young millennial. I'm taking "bought Tripp pants from Hot Topic in the mid-2000s" type guy. I don't adhere to only buying men's pants (if they fit, I sit) but I favor slim cuts because they work with my proportions. I've noticed with specifically Tripp NYC -- they used to put out the huge, JNCO leg pants with all the hardware and extra bits, and then as I was reaching late teen/adulthood they were leaning hard into their rocker silhouette -- skinny, SKINNY jeans in various plaids (and, of course, black). But now some of the new styles I'm seeing are relaxed fit, or flared/boot cut. They still keep all the hardware and extra bits, and you can still buy "outdated" cuts if you could call them that, but they've been working their way through silhouettes to keep current.

Gen Z style is just old Millennial style. We already been there, done that and wore those items 25 years ago. We grew into our own personal style and what works best for our bodies. I think many of us are also over social media and the need for attention that comes with tik tok fashion.

I’m 31. I used to go skinny, then slim taper, then slim, then regular taper, then relaxed taper/straight 😂. I kinda did think it’s cool that wider fits are more accepted but i can’t do wider than relaxed straight especially in raw denim.

I like your hat. Where can I get that?

I like wide pants, but I'm not Gen Z or Millenial. What I notice most in Manhattan (in the past year) is women wearing leggings as pants, and I'm confused about why that is OK but skinny jeans are not, lol. I will be very happy to see that give way to wide pants. Anyway the Gen Z people in my life are definitely very creative with their fashion, especially the men. I kind of feel like for Millenials life has been really hard and it shows, and it makes me want to give them all a collective hug.

Leggings are just very comfortable and custom fit the body so I think ppl tend to wear them more because of that. I think more people would buy wide leg if it wasn't so hard to find pants that fit both your waist and hips and thighs. Also wide leg pants have a different vibe and aren't as sexy so many women may not choose those when going for a particular look

Im on the edge of beeing a boomer (born in 81) And im taking inspiration from all periods, but since im grown up with 90s Rap and Hip hop my base is there and then i use bits and bobs from other eras. I have allways been in to baggy pants, but im not paring that with a baggy tee and a baggy hoodie (90s Nelly) So im taking some styling ques from Gen Zs since they are doing things in fashion i never would think about..

Hey Drew, what type of desk is that?

As a millennial myself I agree that Gen Z have a better appreciation for fashion than we did. Although at the same time, Gen Z just took styles from back in the day and made them theirs. So you guys are HEAVILY influenced by other generations. Yes, including millennials. So much of your style reminds me of my teenage years and how fashion was before the 2010’s started.

Gen X’er here. I embraced pants in 2023. I’m a dress girl to the point that hubby,friends and family comment when I wear pants. I think that for pants and general styling Millennial style is better curated, not as trend driven and has better fit/tailoring. I lived through super wide legged pants 2x and it’s fun for about a year then it gets dumb looking real quick. I just ordered 2 pairs of wider/straight legged jeans. I should’ve kept the more moderate ones I bought in the early 2000’s it’s literally the same silhouette. So I’m buying quality and will store them in 2026 for the resurgence in 2035. But in my heart…. I’m a skinny Jean girl 😂🧓🏾

#PVV hey drew, i hope you’re having an awesome day!! this video was fun and you made such solid points about each generation that i really agree with. the video you included with the millennials and gen zers ranking each other’s styles actually made me realize the generation style gap- not to say either style is bad but just that they’re really different! for millennials, they utilized a lot of neutrals and their silhouettes are a bit more conforming while gen z curated outfits beyond the typical fashion box. despite millennials having a somewhat more particular style, i do look up to those from that generation in regards to fashion. me personally, i think gen z has a bit more fun with their style choices :D also i had a feeling you’d say gen z is better at styling pants because i thought about how important it is to express oneself and this is something i feel i hear you say quite often. one thing i’d like to add is wide leg pants are totally on top (they’re my favorite) but it’s more than possible to make an amazing outfit with straight leg pants and i would love to see some more! okay final thought, i agree that probably more millennials actually get to the end of videos since gen z consumes a great deal of short content so their attention span may not be apt for watching a video in its entirety. (i’m a gen zer but i watch till the end because i love your videos and i’m always intrigued by what you have to share with us!!)

i think something interesting to keep in mind is how fashion is cyclical. a lot of millennial fashion takes inspiration from genx fashion (think 80s nostalgia in the 2010s) and gen z fashion takes inspiration from late 90s-early 2000s.

I’m working on my 50s/ 60s… maybe even 30s/40s style out. And incorporate wider pants… maybe. Honestly just outta necessity, because of my thighs

Where are the jeans at 14:27 from??? They're heat

Agreed. I live near junior high and I love the fits I see on the kids ❤ I'm a millennial and I do, in fact, watch the #pvv

Let EM COOK 👩‍🍳

this video was so interesting!! I'm a gen zer (born in 1999) but I definitely resonate more with millennial fashion. I always always go for a straight leg dickie or levi pant because I honestly just think theyre more flattering on me. I dont care at all about things needing to be timeless, but I feel like a lot of gen z fashion is based on super fast trend cycles and passing fads. obviously the baggy pant has a lot of history that other people have commented on but I won't be surprised if it's considered passe in a few years by gen z. I guess it's not really about the baggy pant, it's more about originality and intentions (wearing clothes that resonate with you as an individual) that I feel like is kind of lacking with gen z at the moment

I’m 32 but I look about 25 so I can “get away” with wearing Gen Z styles, I’m so glad you pointed out most current style icons are millennials because I’m constantly saying that when people say millennials style sucks.

tapered jeans are timeless, i can safely say these wide pants are just another a 2-5 years rotation of pants style which will be like those jnco pants,

I land in the middle of this debate as well (Late Millennial here). Preferences and silhouettes are changing over time, so people also. I like how it is right now. There is more experimentation but with a deeper understanding how pants shapes should fit certain body types or proportions. I think Gen Z are willing to take risks and Millennials more or less found their personal style over the years.

As a fellow Gen Y Gen Z cusper I can totally see where you are coming from giving the advantage to Gen Z for pants. I was definitely deeply rooted in the tight/slim straight camp for far too long, and I am a lot happier with wider fits. What I will say is I am not down with the Y2K baggy look. Lots of break on a wider pant looks sloppy me. I instead prefer wider, structured pants with good drape. That looks so much more polished than either skinny jeans or big baggy jeans

As an older millennial, I saw a lot in fashion. I paid attention from the very early 90s, forward. I got to recognizing “form fitting” looks in the 2000s, much of what you still see in Hollywood which makes sense because it’s a very “clean” look that appeals to the masses. And it actually took me a long time to break away from this, even as fashion forward I thought I was. Especially when 90s aesthetics came back which I was definitely a part of as a kid, I think maturity has sort of refined my re-cycled look (not recycled). I won’t say who does it best because it always comes back to how someone adapts their style to their body build. Even with an oversized look, you can’t just slap on anything oversized. It’s gotta sit on your body “right”. There’s still a form-fitting aspect to the oversized look imo. And plus, if a GenZer does enough research, they’ll have a leg up on us more experienced fashionistas. Side note: everything the Japanese wear, no matter slim or baggy/wide, always seem to look ultra cool on them! lol Maybe it’s just me. I just came back from there, and I never felt so fashionably inadequate!

#pvv I think gen z watches pvv more. I'm a little biased tho. great vid drew. Would love to see more of these gen z vs millennial videos

I'm a millennial. Gen Z completely destroys us on pants. Back in the late 90s / early 2000s some of us had something but we just completely lost the plot after that.

In terms of the looks you presented, the millennial styles looked 100x better than the gen z looks, in my personal preference. They look more polished and classic. But hey! I'm a millennial so that should be no surprise.

Gen Z look like mall rats, lol.

as a “gen-zer”PPV is my favorite part

Millennial here, I’ve loved wide-leg/baggy pants for as long as I can remember! BUT I never knew where to find exactly what I was looking for, and eventually gave in to the skinny jean craze since that was all that was really being made and sold(to my knowledge anyways). As soon as Gen-Z resurrected baggy pants from the ether, and what with things being MUCH easier to find nowadays, you best believe I threw out every pair of skinny jeans I owned and will now and forever be wearing my wider cuts, lest they be ripped from my cold dead hands😤

Zoomers deserve no credit for wide leg jeans, they just bandwagoned onto them and blew them the fk up when they were already snowballing in the second half of last decade. Same goes for all of fashion, only reason it appears theyre doing it better is because they came straight off the back of milenials who had all the taste first and are the real influencers

My favourite thing to wear on my legs personally is a long skirt, because it has a high waist, which looks good on me cus I'm tall, and it's really long and wide, so it functions as a big strong fundament for my fit, aesthetically speaking, and it's hella comfortable. I do think different types of skirts and more niche types of pant silhouettes have a say in this discussion, because what you wear on your legs is such a fundamental part of your style, and you definitely should have a good overview of what there is, so you can tell what fits you the most. I would really like a video where you talk about the different aesthetic and cultural characteristics of a broad variety of different types of bottoms/pants. Anyways, that's just my thoughts, love the video it made me think about my style and have a great week. -A gen z'er

6:02 Gen z are just literally wearing pants (and everything.. umm y2k) like millennials did 20 years ago. Nothing new here, it just looks more intentional now.

Brede brakka is steezzzz🤙✌️

honestly I think you cannot say if there is a gen that styles pants better. I depends on who you look at. if you look at ppl that are into fashion. both can go, easpeacially when we look at a specific person. for me personally baggy doenst really go for my age and body type. on other ppl though beggy looks dope. but if we talk about generations looking at everyone, I'd say newer generatios will style better, since there is a bigger focus on it nowdays. it's just more ppl that are into fashion and the youngstars are groing into it.

millennials hands down; i don’t believe in a man wearing baggy pants, i don’t like them too tight either, the more slim cut is perfect , correct measurements is key too

(born in 2000) I always had thick thighs and a booty even as a kid so I always had to wear pants that were 2-3 waist sizes to big for my true waist size and I couldn't do skinny jeans ever which was the standard when I was in middle school and high school. It's always been straigh fit or boot cut for me by default. I like getting a big pants to fit my dumpy in and then going to my dry cleaner to get them tailored to be 1/2 inch above the ankle. I really like the feeling of roomy pants but I don't like the feeling of my pants dragging on the ground (like heel bite can be cool, but I associate it with my awful middle school fits when I didn't get my pants tailored) so I found a middle ground for myself. For me I feel like it's a lot harder to play with volume in my pants because of my comfort preferences and because of the fact that my pants would have to be really fucking wild to create that flowy visual around my thighs and butt. On top of that I like wearing baggier tops so straighter and slightly wide pants work better for me IMO. Also in PVV guy but also I watch everything on 1.75x speed at least to I can consume more content in it's completely quicker so...
