I had three pair, loved them! You were supposed to wear them with a double long belt wrapped between your legs, then around the waist, then fastened.

I had a pair of black parachute pants and remember wearing them to a Duran Duran concert in 1984. Totally loved those pants although they weren't the warmest pants I owned. Wish they still sold them. I would probably buy a pair.

I had finally earned enough babysitting money to purchase my beloved olive green parachute pants. The first night I wore them to the movie "Endless Love" and sat in gum-forever ruined...so bunk.

I loved me some parachute pants. I had a pink pair with a gray and pink top with zippers down the side that when unzipped was parachute material inside. I loved that outfit.

OMG, remember the swish swish swish sound they made as you walked? I was so happy when I got my dark silver pair. I wore them with my pink and purple Vans and played hackie sack at school. Those were the days LOL!!

My sister made me wear them, her friends said I looked "cute" in them. Didn't MJ make these pants popular?

Man, if the 80's are remembered for anything it'll be Teen Angst films and parachute pants! LOL. I swear that at one point I had a pair for every day of the week. Black, red, gray, blue, green, grey pinstriped ones with a zipper down the front of each leg. As I recall Parachute Pants were were one exteeeeeeeemly short lived fashion fad.

My mom REFUSED to buy me a pair, but I saved up enough to get them. They were black and I wore them with a studded belt wrapped twice around my waist. After the movie "Breakin'" came out, I would wear them with about a million bandannas wrapped around my wrists - so awful! I cringe just thinking about it...

OMG! I remember these pants! Love and hate is all i say! they were comfortable yet cold at night. but the boyfriend loved them! I don't think I have ever been felt up so again! foreplay was longer as the pants stayed on longer! what is it with nylon and men?

yup i remember those like yesterday. I had several pairs and thats all i wore all through my grade 11 days. I didn't like wearing underwear with them cause I wore them tight and I couldn't stand panty lines! it was great having all the zipper pockets for bus fare and lunch money and all the phone numbers I got wearing them sporting a great 80's camel!

I never owned a pair of these, but many of the guys had them. They worked better on skinny people because they did make the sounds when the legs rubbed together. I remember a guy named Matt had a pair of these in grey and wore them with a burgundy Members Only jacket with a t-shirt.
