Boys fashion throughout the years

There was a girl, there was a boy, way back so many years ago. Girls wore skirts, Boys wore pants.  And the topic of girls has been spoken or written too many times and the boys seemed to be left out. Let us go back in time, let us say in 1960's. In those days, the Beatles trends were so popular that almost boys around the world copied their style. Let us see how it was...



The waistband of the pants was a bit higher than the waistline and went down straight or narrow at the bottom. 

Now, let's see in the 1970's



This style came as waistband placed a little bit lower than the style in the 60's and the bottom is larger. Though it did not look exactly like a bell and yet they were called bell-bottomed. And in the mid 70's, the bell-bottom were enlarged even larger until they were mistakenly called the baggy-pants


The ones that were named baggy pants were actually a pair of pants like a bag by the hips and going down tighter from the knee to the ankle. And this style came back and worn popularly among teenagers in the beginning of third millenium. Worn on the lower waistline

Nowadays, the way the boys of this era dress-up is very negligent and care-free. They look funny in the eyes of the oldies. But as time goes by, era by era, changes happen and they are inevitable. As we wonder maybe in the next ten years, bell-bottom pants may come back with different lines more care-free than before.
