The 13 Best Parachute Pants to Resurrect the Y2K Trend (2024)

Everything old is new again. More specifically, the best 2000s trends. Slip skirts, platform shoes, and baguette bags (which are currently taking over the NYFW spring/summer 2023 runways) have all been among the iconic era’s revival, with designers reimagining them for here and now. If you’ve been paying any attention to celebrity street style or even TikTok trends, you know parachute pants are the latest and greatest resurgence from the early 2000s. These lightweight, cargo-style pants have become the ultimate retaliation against skinny jeans and are already a staple in the closets of It girls everywhere—just look at Bella Hadid’s off-duty aesthetic (the baggier, the better).
