parachute pants

Baggy eighties legwear

Parachute pants are loose-fitting trousers made from synthetic nylon fabric, featuring a baggy silhouette that tapers at the ankles, often with multiple zippers, pockets, and seams.

He showed up to the costume party in full parachute pants and a Members Only jacket.

The style has periodically resurfaced in fashion, though it remains strongly associated with that era.
