TrentonMakes Posted November 22, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2017 I remember girls wearing something called "parachute pants" but they looked a lot different. I don't remember people wearing what's in that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted November 22, 2017 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2017 Your picture tells the whole story - they never became popular because 'parachute pants' were made with only had one leg, except for the red ones, and not everybody liked red or liked wearing 1/2 a pair of pants.

The deceptive marketing techniques and the high rate of returns (~92%) to retailers really doomed the product. I would bet, though, if somewhat could figure out what went wrong we'd see them come back into fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
