23-inch leg openings. $186M in sales. Comeback lasted 2 years.
JNCO Wide-Leg Jeans flaunted 23-inch hems, selling $186 million in 1998, but their mall-goth uniform failed in a 2015 comeback lasting two years. 30% wider than #2 Low-Rise Jeans, these pants dragged through puddles and nu-metal crowds, yet their 50-inch openings now seem absurd. Faster than the average fad's lifecycle, they aged from rave necessity to thrift-store joke, with a 90% revenue drop by 2017 confirming their expired appeal.
