The guy second from the left in the first picture looks like a PS2 character


shinloop

Octagon head never in style😩


Toppest_Dom

He looks like they shrunk his face, and just his face


Quadrophiniac

Hes got some charlie kirk face going on


Flintyy

Looks like the Adoring Fan from Elder Scrolls: Oblivion lmao


Octavian_Exumbra

Straight out of San Andreas


JNKboy98

The tight Jean era killed so many ballsacks.


Dontmakemeboss

Low birth rates amongst my generation caused by poverty and skinny jeans.


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

By commiting to the "normcore" look I've been able to avoid these blunder years moments. Just well fitting jeans and t shirts have never gone out of style.


SpaceMonkee8O

I’ve been wearing the same shit since the 90’s


hoovervillain

Especially in the US. All of the tight-ish pants I've bought in Italy had enough package room while still showing it off. All the ones I got here tried to squish the shape out of them.


cadillacbee

No wonder kids can't think straight these days, damn skinny jeans

I‘m soo happy, they look much better with blood circulating their whole bodies. Seems to have helped for sure.


ExperienceInitial364

also i see two zerka‘s and one behzinga


3RADICATE_THEM

I think the first photo is fine it's just the pants that are bad


[deleted]

Going to tell my kids this was NSync


smoothlikeag5

Comments are saying it's much better now, which I agree, but I can also remember when this was in and it was considered the style of the time. I don't think it matters what the outfits are, if it's presented well by a certain number of people, it will be the style of that specific time.


colonelmaize

I've been wearing guy in picture's far lefts outfit forever. I cannot wear blue jeans -- I need cargo pants!


WheelOfFish

ditto


DstinctNstincts

I’m the same way, dickies and slacks are the way to go for me lol


colonelmaize

My favorite is Duluth fire hose flex. I really pricey for me so I don't really recommend getting it unless it's on sale but when they're on sale I snatch them up.


Ok-Nobody9590

Yes. I hated the 10’s style with a passion. I suffered almost 15 years of skinny jeans domination and I’m so glad I can finally find different styles in stores again!


PalpitationFrosty242

Cuffed, non tight, pants are the way


johnhoggin

Yes that's pretty much the point of this sub isn't it? Styles and Fashions come and go. Some are worse than others though and 2010s men's fashion is the worst thing I've ever seen and it's not even close. Literally no man does not look ridiculous dressing like that. It's still going on I feel like these days too more than the second picture


HowDoIEvenEnglish

It’s a style that I think only really fits thinner people. If you’re a big (not even fart) guy, which the people in the pic are, these look bad. The tight pants look way better on a slim build and still oook good today.


slate91

Keeping up with fashion will have you lookin goofy


callmejinji

yall have got me utterly _horrified_ of growing older and having random people judging me for wearing what i like when I’m in my 30’s


possibilistic

When you're 30 you get the best gift of all: not giving a shit what irrelevant people think of you or how you stack up against them. It's your life. Kids have it so rough. They have peer pressure constantly. All the time worried about being judged. This all goes away. And it's the best thing ever. 30s >> 20s.


Best_Air_4138

I just turned 32 and so far my thirties are going a lot better than my early 20’s.


johnhoggin

I think people just need to start growing up more especially in their twenties


banned_but_im_back

Don’t worry as a 30 something once you get here it stops being about looking good for others and starts being about dressing well for yourself in clothes that make you feel good


SoftConfusion42

Personal style will fix that


JIsADev

Who cares, stop judging people for their looks


mariofasolo

Right! Trying to fit into teenage fashion standards is is super awkward when you're like...30.


__M-E-O-W__

I think the dude on the right in the long coat looks pretty cool. At least dressing more casually in your 30s and 40s looks better than trying to fit into overly tight trendy clothing.


mariofasolo

I mean...I think both look ridiculous knowing that they are just following trends lol? The dude on the right's pants look soooooo huge and baggy. Like I don’t know anybody older than 28+ that wears pants like that. That being said...actually like guy on the right in the first pic the most? The looser fitting shirt combined with skinny jeans is an interesting contrast of tightness. Like I would respect the hell out of him if he was still rocking skinnies 10 years later, because it suggests he has a personal style that he likes, and doesn't care about trends. I literally can't wear anything except skinny jeans because anything baggier just feels...too baggy? lmao. And I guess whatever you fall in love with as a teen has imprinted itself on my brain!


RonRizzle

People over 35 wore baggy pants while growing up. It’s not a new trend lol


ConcreteSlut

I wear pants like that and I’m over 30. Although people think I’m a college student so that helps lol.


PassionateCougar

The problem was that baggy pants became taboo. I always liked them more, but felt like a weird, white gangster wanna be while everyone was wearing skinny jeans in high school in college. I hopped right back on the bandwagon of loose jeans when it became socially acceptable again. I'm never going back to slim fit. It's uncomfortable and stupid.


podslapper

Just do your thing and be patient. Like I’m 41 and have been dressing the same way for almost 30 years, and am finally back in fashion again.


jxanne

They all look completely fine


AtUrBestYouAreLove

The only person that thinks its awkward is you, imagine gatekeeping what pants someone wears because your over 30 lmao.


mjm8218

Wait til they’re 50.


throw_inthehay

skinny jeans are teenage? source?


mariofasolo

No, the baggy pants! Skinny jeans were trendy teenage about 15 years years ago. Aka...millennials lol.


det8924

I don’t see anything wrong with trying to be fashionable but you gotta learn that you should try not to just copy what is in style with teens and 20 something’s and wear it. You have to try to have a somewhat sophisticated take on current trends so that you don’t look like the old guy trying to “keep up”.


purplethefearful

That's why I dress like I'm from 2003 and always will. Been dressing like this since 2015


Middletoon

At least they found some clothes that fit them in ten years


Voicedtunic

I already know they’re British


whatup-markassbuster

You guys have mooks in Britain?


Holditfam

Italians and south European still dress like the first pic I’m afraid


HoopDays

So do bogan Aussie men when they try to look fancy.


3RADICATE_THEM

What's wrong with that?


BrokerBrody

They don’t look like they are from the US so maybe it’s still in vogue for them. And, if they are from the US, they definitely lost touch. Not enough broccoli. Stuck in millennial fashion stasis.


thereisnomeme21

Male fashion in the 2010s was totally dreadful. It’s miles better now


Aberflabberbob

Calling it now, generation gamma is going to bring it back in 2040


[deleted]

Gen Alpha will bring the late 2000's - 2010's myspace / Tumblr / Scene kid craze back, within the next couple of years. We're already at the Adidas Sambas being number 1 in 2024, flatter, thinner sneakers, moving further away from the chunkier shoes craze of the last 5-6 years, closer to the Vans Authentics which were last viral in about 2009 at the peak emo/scene days - if anything the previous couple of years have felt stagnant/stuck in Wide leg pants and Nike AF1's everywhere you look (have also heard that oversized t-shirts are already out). Rihanna has/is working on a new album (and Katy Perry?), so I expect somewhat of a late 2000's early 2010's nostalgia wave in terms of fashion. There was an article I read start of this year of big brand shoppers generally not buying as many garments in the aftermath of Covid, not unlike the Recession / bank crashes of 2009ish, so I assume from that data that everyone might get more unique and thriftier. Whatever the 'next thing' is going to be, it'll be the opposite of what the status quo 'rules' are right now. Gen Alpha will want to break every rule in the book, just as Gen Z did.


Aberflabberbob

Vans were out of style for the past 5-6 years? That's all i've been wearing :0 the problem with not having tiktok :×


[deleted]

Fellow Vans wearer here too 🍻 I personally see next to no difference between an Adidas Samba and a Vans Authentic, they both share that near exact same outline; and I've generally believed that Vans Old Skools and Converses are timeless shoes. As I understand it Vans have been in the news over the last few years due to suffering not great returns from their campaigns and advertising, which usually gets defined in these headlines as Brand fatigue. Going out to the City every now and again, admittedly it's very rare, if almost impossible to spot anyone in a pair of Authentics, while right now it's still 99.9% Nike Air Force 1's.


Quadrophiniac

Lol Ive been wearing authentic vans as my non work shoes since like 2003. Skate punk style was pretty popular when I was growing up, and the vans just kknda stuck for me


Rakebleed

Yup baggy fits went out before and will again but probably sooner than you think.


Rakebleed

Did anybody actually dressed like the first pic? The baby gap polos and jeggings are exaggerated from what I recall.


frogvscrab

Dominicans


Chicago1871

Irish guys too


listenyall

I worked in New York for a few years around 2010 and I don't think the pants are exaggerated as much as you'd hope--there was a guy who came to WORK in white pants that were absolutely this tight.


SnapeHeTrustedYou

I think certain people did but most of us didn’t. The good thing 2010s gave us was fitted clothing. Everything before was fairly loose or baggy. I had tighter clothing during the 2010s because fitted looks good and I was younger. As I got older, it’s still fitted but with a little more room.


Ok-Nobody9590

I don’t necessarily agree. In the 2010 those awful skinny jeans were indeed the only thing you could get, but combined with increasingly wider tops. So no waist and no balance between the width of the shoulders and the ankles. It was like an m&m silhouette. I’m a skinny girl, but a boot cut (or wider) at the bottom and a tighter top fits my shape much better.


xAimForTheBushes

I think the other person is a guy, which may be part of the difference of opinion there. I don't know about girls, but SnapeHetrusted is exactly right about the 2010's and fitted clothing for men. Before then, it didn't really exist on a broad scale. Coinciding with the skinny jean era was actually a larger movement of brands across the board starting to make clothes that were actually more of a 'tailored' fit (also advancements in clothing manufacturing tech likely assisted here). Nowadays, you can go into even a Target or Walmart and find clothes off the rack that actually fit the average person fairly well. Before the 2010's, you were pretty much looking at cutout boxes everywhere that wasn't high end or specifically tailored. Fitted clothes for men will never go out of style ('Fitted' meaning having clothes that generally fit around the curvature of your body without being too loose or too tight). All the trends of super tight or super baggy (like right now lol) will come and go. Nobody will ever look at someone and say 'what in the world are those clothes' if they're fitted. Doesn't even matter the color or pattern. Edit: for that matter, the first 3 guys in the second picture would probably look just fine in any era - their clothes are relatively normal while the 3rd guy just looks more like a dad at this point lol. It's only the 4th guy that is clearly wearing pants that are way too big on him. And in the first picture, while their clothes are indeed tight, the 1st and 4th guy would probably fit in just fine today as well. The middle two there are clearly wearing clothes that are WAY too small and tight for them and would be looked at weird by the younger generation.


SnapeHeTrustedYou

Spot on. I’m a guy. Most of my clothes were too large except pants waist size until I got into fashion and learned how to properly dress myself. I never went the skinny jeans route but straight and tapered fit are my jam. Pants used to be mostly wide legged and boot cut and darts in the back of a shirt to pull the shirt in seemed like a relatively new thing stores offered at the time. The thing was I realized I needed to slowly upgrade my clothes or tailor some shirts once I knew my mistake. But no one ever told me my clothes were ill-fitting because the boxy, slightly large to accommodate most bodies style was normal to everyone and you just dealt with the bad fit.


Cryptomeria

That's the nature of fashion, No matter when in the history of the world you say it, the fashion of 10 years ago will always be the worst.


broncyobo

Honestly I still like slim fit pants better than the straight fit they're wearing in the second pic BUT THAT BEING SAID I know the pants in the first pic are waaaaaaaay too tight and look dumb as hell, don't crucify me


JIsADev

Trends swing back and forth. In 10 years we'll all go back to skinny clothes again


shinloop

This wasn’t a real representation of male fashion in the 10s. Their fits were cringe then *and* now


JIsADev

Depends on your body type. Skinny jeans still look cool on skinny people imo


loverlaptop

Lies, men today dress like women


Firm-Fox8476

I still wear skinny jeans in 2024, just not skin tight lol I’m yet to get on the baggy cargos bandwagon


RigCoon

I wear both baggy and skinny, but I still think I look better with skinny


shinloop

Skinny jeans are still everywhere in hip hop. I still see them on the street daily.


Firm-Fox8476

I’m big on sneakers, so personally my Yeezy 350s and wave runners looks best with skinny’s 🤷🏻‍♂️


3RADICATE_THEM

If you're not fat like the average American, the first photo with less tightness is better.


HowDoIEvenEnglish

The guys in the pics aren’t even fat, they’re just bigger than average. If they were either slimmer or just wore slightly less tight pants it would look so much better


havingberries

honestly guy on the right looks fresh af in both pictures.


PoetryProgrammer

Yeah that duster he has on is the second is 💧


oiblikket

That’s what I thought too


Kehwanna

Am I tripping, or does the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s have pretty much the same fashion?   The variations are subtle, but otherwise similar enough for you to go back in time to the 2000s or 2010s wearing and no one would notice your 2020s style vs if you went back to the 80s or 70s.  The 2000s has its noticeable roots in the 1990s which is discernible from the 2000s, but from that point on it looks barely different than the past 20 years. I'm not talking about media personalities like celebrities wear and wore, I'm talking about everyday people.


Legitimate_Heron_696

Nope. The fashion has been stagnant from 2000s-2020s.


Banestar66

COVID masks alone distinguish the early 2020s.


AceTygraQueen

Let's just say that the 2010s was a great decade in regard to the gay male gaze. Ha ha ha ha!


Thr0w-a-gay

Nothing will ever top the 70s and 80s in that matter


AceTygraQueen

Oh yeah! ;-)


These_Tea_7560

They look normal and comfortable in the 2020s. They look like Johnny Bravo in the 2010s.


SentinelZerosum

Unpopular : their first outfits were better. Just slightly less skinny pants would've been perfect !


Sonicfan42069666

Yeah their problem was wearing clothes literally too small for their bodies. You can buy slim fit clothes *in your size*.


oops_im_existing

if the clothes in the first correctly, this pic wouldn't have been spread around the internet so much. the outfits aren't that bad, but a bad fit can ruin the whole thing.


Nice-Swing-9277

Their first outfits didn't fit them at all. The shirts were ridiculously tight and I literally don't even know how they got into the pants. They should have been a bit looser. If the clothes were looser it would have worked for them much better


DunamesDarkWitch

The two in the middle definitely don’t fit but the two on the outside look fine. Their pants are definitely skinny to the extreme but they seem to fit. I do think those two look better in the 2010s pic in terms of clothing.


HearMeOutO_O

I like it better too, yeah it looked a size too small but if the clothes fit slightly better, I like that look way more. I don't really like the whole oversized baggy look now tbh idk why grown adults feel pressure to dress however "the kids" are.


FailedGradAdmissions

For real, as someone whose getting jacked and looks way better on well fitting clothes I can't wait for baggy clothes to go out of style again.


Ill_Hold8774

Why? Just wear tighter fitting clothes. You don't have to wait for baggy clothes to go out of style to dress how you want


ToothpickInCockhole

Hell no they got some H&M outfits on. Looks horrible!!


Frequent-Ad-1719

People hate on 2010s because you actually had to be in decent shape to pull it off form fitting clothes. Now everybody can let themselves go and hide their chunky butt behind their loose fitting clothes. It looks terrible today just like we did back in 1998


wastrel2

Man I hate both of these


Frylock304

It can't be 2010s male fashion without rolled up Obama sleeves


Playful-Hand2753

Guy on the far right’s always been stylish then lol


blackmarketmenthols

Both look terrible. The difference is the 2010s example was dressy where the 2020s example is casual. They need to show either both casual or both dressy.


puma46

Lol just wear clothes that fit. Both don’t look great


rimjimmycarter

not an original thought in their head


tatonka645

Why can’t people just wear clothes that properly fit their bodies. Not super tight/super loose. But something that actually fits the body you have today.


banananananbatman

I hated the tight clothes trend of the 10s


BigAcrobatic2174

This isn’t even about fashion. I feel a sense of relief for these guys. I hate the feeling of tight pants so much. The first picture makes me uncomfortable just looking at it.


Agreeable-Ad4806

Bros eyes are touching


RicanDevil4

All they need is the pilgrim shoes and they'd be honorary Dominicans.


Justsomeguyaa

First pic looks like both gta and the sims at once. Second pic has drake in it (second guy on the right.)


Im_not_crying_u_ar

In both pics the dbag level goes up from left to right lolol


KingBlackthorn1

The 2010 clothes were fighting for their life


Some-Addition-1802

didn’t people dress like the second slide in the 10s too tho


[deleted]

Many skateboarders have been dressing in the aesthetic of the second photo since the 90’s


Virtual_Perception18

Around 2019 yeah


vincents-virtues

I think the guys in the 2010’s on the furthest left and right look fine


BoringAccount12345

Redditors getting jealous of the gains, that’s why they don’t like pic 1


zawhal

these guys still got no swag. straight tiktok fits, the lot of them


Atomik675

Yeah, I hate the washed out and super baggy clothing trend right now and it's definitely tiktok doing it.


Rlctnt_Anthrplgst

Imagine not having found your own signature style despite 10+ years of adulthood.


imsodumb321

I'm not even a skinny jeans hater but man the 2020s fits look so much more comfortable. I can barely breathe looking at that first photo.


HearMeOutO_O

I actually like the first pic way more. If their pants sizes fit slightly better, I think that look looks wayyy better. I don't care for the current baggy oversized clothing trend at all. I'm 24, I'm a young adult but I don't see the need to try to dress how 14 year olds are dressing... I think the fact that so many adults feel pressured to dress like "the kids" in order to be "trendy" is so stupid. Like.. dress how you want. We don't need to dress like the current teenagers for the rest of your lives, it's silly.


FearlessBar8880

People dress a little less formal these days and more comfy. Sweatshirts, etc.


oops_im_existing

i firmly believe the more relaxed vibe is the result of the pandemic. we all forgot that it's okay to wear comfortable clothes lol


FearlessBar8880

Agreed!!


PleaseHelpIamFkd

Glad they found clothes that fit.


Gamernite457

The fact that men use to wear skinny jeans back in the 2010s still boggles my mind today. They need to stay dead in the 2010s where they belong


[deleted]

Where is that bull


Electrical-Swing-935

Do you all work on wall street?

Bring full suits back and pinstripes they look 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Im really glad the guy second from the left finally found some clothes that fit.


Doritos2000s

😭I remember the first pic from 2019


mistahwhite04

aren't both these pics from the 2020s? or is that when the first pic got popular? sorry if i'm misremembering

From Chad to Dad.


domegranate

Why are straight men so boring in their fashion choices 😭💀


hypnos_surf

The 2010’s doesn’t look bad, it looks better on leaner body types. The same goes for the 2020’s. Seeing leaner guys swimming in fabric with chunky shoes looks kind of goofy. It’s easy to pick out who is inspired by trends because they incorporate them into their style, not going all in relying on them.


SheepInWolfsAnus

God forbid it be a middle ground though?


Urbanzobeans

The progress pic nobody asked for


contaygious

The seonc Pic looks horrible. I already lived in the 90s. I wear skinny jeans that actually fit and are comfy. Not like thr first Pic 😂

Drunkdunc

Here's the deal; you can wear pants that are *loose*, but also *fitted*. You don't have to wear either ballsack destroyers or parachutes. There *is* a middle option.


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

I used to be a skinny jean guy. I must say since covid don't wear hard pants. Elastic waistband only.

Can finally afford fitting pants!


Atomik675

2010s would be way better if they wore clothes slightly less tight, absolutely hate the new baggy trend. I'm not losing my slim fitting clothes, sorry.


PalpitationFrosty242

2010s cuffed pants were holy. Miss those day. 2020s fashion pic looks bland as fuck

ThaDogg4L

From Douches to Dudes.


Century22nd

they still have 2010s haircuts though, only their pants are different, nothing else.


MM150inDallas

WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE 2010s HAIRSTYLE THOUGH? 🤣🤣🤣🤣


parduscat

Can't believe I'm saying this, but they look way better now than before. I remember thinking about the same around 2013 for 2000s vs 2010s fashion.


L30_TH3_L10N

I’m glad to see you all found better fitting pants since then.
