Parachute Pants.

Parachute pants are the wide nylon trousers from rave culture — plenty of fabric, deep pockets, a rustle you hear on the floor. We stock the cuts that move with you, without losing their shape.

Material and cut

The material is technical nylon: lightweight, glossy, durable. The cut falls wide from the hip and often tapers at the ankle, usually with drawstring or cuff. This shape comes from the dancefloors of the nineties — more in the Techno and Rave Fashion Guide.

How to wear them.

Fitted at the top, wide at the bottom: a tight-fitting top or tank balances the volume of the pants. Keep the color dark and set the accent through hardware like Rave Rings or buckles. For the older look, head to the 90s Rave collection.

What you'll find here

Wide parachute pants in black and muted tones, some with cargo pockets, others cut clean. All in technical nylon, built for long nights.

Frequently asked questions

What are parachute pants good for?

Parachute pants give plenty of freedom on the floor and let heat escape through the light nylon. The wide legs and deep pockets are practical for dancing — and the look is instantly recognizable.

Are parachute pants still on trend?

Yes. The wide pants have remained a fixed part of the current rave and Y2K look. Instead of tight cuts, volume dominates, and parachute pants deliver exactly that. We focus on shapes you'll wear beyond the season.

Are parachute pants from the 80s or 90s?

Both. The first nylon parachute pants arrived in the 80s, but found their home in the rave and techno scene in the 90s. Today the look combines both decades.
