Description
Sex: Both
Type of clothing: Clothes
When it was popular: 1989
Description: SKIDZ were the most fashionable pants any kid in the 7-15 age group catagory could wear. They were made of cotton and had many different colors and designs. Everything from stripes to checkers were seen on these pants around the streets of Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington DC. The SKINZ looked like pajama pants, they were straight legged and were tightened by a drawstring. The only way one knew they were SKIDZ, was because each had a yellow triangular sign with a car followed by skid marks(just like a street sign) on the right rear pocket.

I just recieved an e-mail about the 80's. A girlfriend commented about SKIDZ not being a part of the list. If you grew up through the 80's and 90's it will "SHOOT you through the HEART"!!! (HAHAHA)

I loved skidz. I use to have about 4 or 5 pairs. We use to "peg" the bottom of the pants so they were not so wide. I wish you had a picture of the pants.

All you needed in 88 or 89 to look cool were Skidz(pegged of course) a champion sweatshirt and hi-top black reeboks(MINT)

I always ask people if they remembered these pants and no one could. I thought forever that I imagined it so I was glad to that it really existed!

I remember these vividly. I even worked at a Merry-Go-Round in '88 and sold them! Funny, huh.

How could I forget my SKIDZ. My girlfriend and I had a matching pair of white with black stripes and turquois and yellow streaks. I used to match them with some Le Coq Sportifs with the same turqois and yellow color scheme. We were soooo dope!
