Do y'all remember these?

It's insane the way memories pop into the mind!
I hadn't thought of these in years!
I never had a pair because my parents didn't allow us to have brand name items 😕
Did y'all have any of these?

Long Jamz?
Spreadeaglebeagle44@reddit
Spent several years of my life in Jamz lol.
ShinyWolverine@reddit
Ugh, memory unlocked. I had a pair of shorts.
Adventurous_Ad1922@reddit
Yes!

At my first job a coworker would track our boss’ schedule and always wear them when he wasn’t in.

I don’t think I had those, but I had Jamz. I was a chubby middle school girl in the suburban Midwest wearing board shorts - my parents were horrified. I preferred my guess overalls, which were highly coveted and the only way I could shove my fat butt into Guess. Oh, the memories and some good background info for therapy. Thanks!

I had a matching set of Jamz middle school - red with numbers or somesuch all over them. I was in Oklahoma and definitely not cool enough to pull them off. Middle school was rough...

I too had a pair of Guess overalls but we called them bibs. Also in the Midwest

I remember these and also Limpies.

Not only do I remember them, I worked at Merry-Go-Round in the 90s!

I miss seeing people wear fun pants. People seem so drab now with their boring clothes

My HS basketball coach was in on some trend of whimsical-patterned golf pants, wore them for coaching during games. We made district champions that year, and we were all superstitious, so he kept the tradition until he retired.
Personally, I secretly miss boho / muscle pants. They were so damn comfy.
mcas06@reddit
I lived in them! I had the black and white pair shown here too.
corq@reddit
I don't love plaid, but I'd absolutely wear the first two.
wastemydayaway@reddit
They are back in business! His son brought the brand back. I bought some for old times sake 2 years ago and wear them all the time.

What was the name of the loud lifting pants? Zumies?
botany_bae@reddit
Zubaz?
Flababulous@reddit
Affirming...Zubaz indeed. My pairs lined right up with my Skids.
StrattonPA@reddit
Yes, they were pretty popular in my middle & High school years. Those and SWATCH watches & Bolle sunglasses…
BIGscott250@reddit
Rocked them with a pair of Umbro sneakers
bugabooandtwo@reddit
Never had any, but they look really comfy.
ConsuelaShlepkiss@reddit
I did. Pink and yellow plaid, cuter than that sounds, which I wore with a cute pink t-shirt.
Happy_Cat_3600@reddit
Skidz were great!
Scent_Memory@reddit
Not these but I had Jamz and a Hypercolor t shirt and Hypercolor bike shorts
Big_Beach123@reddit
We derisively called these 'Buttafuocos' because it seemed like Joey Buttafuoco was always wearing these type pants. 🤣
Blk_Dmncn77@reddit
Yep. Had the plaid overalls
PepperCat1019@reddit
I had Jamz.
Was Merry Go Round a store?
cometshoney@reddit
Yes, it was. It was my second favorite place to buy clothes.
daphatty@reddit
Not these, specifically. But I rocked the shizz out of a pair of checkered purple and black overall shorts. Loved them.
dubb1130@reddit
I rocked my skidz and IOU sweatshirts daily in 7th grade. Thought I was so cool.
freshcoffeegrounds@reddit
Yes, I (50M) was a loser dork in 7th grade and I wore the exact pants on the middle person. The dean grimmaced when he saw me. And then the school bully smashed me into a locker because he thought they looked "gay".
I'm still a loser dork, but I'm a medical doctor and the bully still lives with his mom.
God I hated
Smurfybabe@reddit
I think I still have a couple pairs in a box in the basement with some high school stuff.
Strange-Employee-520@reddit
Damn, between Skidz and Cavarrichis, we were comfy! I'd wear these now.
Plutoniumburrito@reddit
Oh gawd. My mom had them shits on the far right.
GhostWithTheMost75@reddit
Yes! I had 2 full sets.😂😂 I had forgotten all about SKIDS. This picture took me back to 8th grade.🙂
Specialist_Stop8572@reddit
YES
I inherited a pair from my older sis
