    Default Whatever happened to the following clothing lines?

    -Hilfiger
    -Nautica
    -Ralph Lauren
    -Structure
    -JNCO
    -FUBU

    When I was back in high school, all the kids were sporting these brands. Now, it seems like they have completely died off. Real baggy clothing was the style. I work in the schools, and it's just weird to see how the times have changed. Slim fit jeans for guys are popular, as well as anything that comes pre-ripped. Girls don't wear the jeans that flare out anymore. The shoes are different as well. I remember the nike's with the air bubbles along the sides being really popular. Don't see those as much anymore.

    Makes me feel old. The times and styles have completely changed

    We still keeping it gangsta down in cali. But yeah ive seen the style youre talking about.

    Dressing like a G' is not longer a trend, so that's why you don't see it anymore.

    Hilfiger still has chains across North America. Just like any brands when they get blown up and every closet has them. Nobody wants them because they want to be "original".
    same thing that's happened to Von Dutch trucker hats and will happen to Ed Hardy, Smet, Christian Audigier today.

    I buy clothes now at HM for me and my boy. Clothes are cheap and current. Only thing I'll drop more than a bill on is my kicks, which I always get a discount on.

    Yeah, that's another one. Those were real big around 2004. I remember I was down in Florida and I really wanted to buy one, but they were over $100.

    Ralph Lauren is a staple in my wardrobe. You just can't go wrong with them.

    I never understand the point of wearing clothes that are 2x your size. Whats wrong with wearing clothes that fit you perfectly? The saddest thing to see is when a white or asian guy dressing like that, I mean, wth dudes.

    People still wear the first three, nothing happened to them. And i'm wondering how you can possibly not know Ralph Lauren was still around. It sounds like you live under a rock.

    The last 3 died out and with good reason. I havent seen anyone with Jinco on since the mid 90's. And Fubu was laughed out of style long ago.

    I live in Pittsburgh, where "high fashion" consists of people wearing Steelers jerseys, no matter the time/place, so you are probably right

    OK, so maybe Ralph Lauren is still popular. I just don't see it as much anymore. I do see the shirts with the small polo logo on them, but not so much the ones with the extravagant labels.

    You mean something like this? It's a personal preference.

    ralph lauren and nautica are still good brands. fubu and jnco though, hell no. like hito said, you could fit a redwood tree trunk through a 36" waist pantleg. the whole dragon design things on them were pretty tacky too.
