Seasons change; empires rise and fall. Nothing good lasts forever and so too must trouser trends change. Sharing the same fate as all great dynasties, it seems the era of ultra baggy jeans is coming to an end - helped along by TikTok-ers jumping on the trend and swiftly ruining it - making way for the return of more tasteful, slightly slimmer trou. 

Obviously we're not back in drainpipe skinny jeans just yet (give it a few more years) but the oracles of skateboarding have long predicted that things are gonna start slimming down again and if you're feeling like you're ready to leave the goofy boy look behind then Yardsale Phantasy Jeans might just be the perfect choice for you.

Buying new trousers is something that should never be taken lightly so we want to use our expert knowledge to help you make the right decision. Find out more below!

Yardsale Phantasy Jeans vs Polar Big Boys

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll probably be familiar with Polar Big Boys seeing as they're arguably the most important trousers of the modern era with everyone and their nan wearing them and countless other brands trying to imitate their signature silhouette. However, if by some miracle you're not familiar, Polar Big Boys are some of the baggiest jeans in the game with their ultra-wide leg fit that's widest around the thighs before tapering in ever so slightly at the ankle to help them rest perfectly on your shoes and providing that iconic parachute aesthetic.

In contrast, Yardsale Phantasy Jeans offer up a more tasteful, slightly slimmer silhouette with their loose, straight leg fit which again tapers slightly at the ankle to help them sit perfectly on your shoes without puffing out around the thighs as much for a less balloon-y look while still providing ample levels of bagginess. While Phantasy Jeans haven't quite reached the same levels of popularity as Big Boy Jeans (which is probably a good thing if you actually want to stand out from the crowd a bit) they're quickly becoming some of our best-selling pants which just goes to show that the trouser tide might finally be turning.

As you can see, while both pants come in at the baggier end of the spectrum, the Big Boys have a much more exaggerated silhouette for that old-school, 90s aesthetic that goes perfectly with a ghetto gown. Alternatively, the Yardsale Phantasy Jeans offer up a cleaner, less over-the-top aesthetic with their loose, straight-leg fit that's still nice and baggy without being full-on parachute pants.

Aside from the fit, Polar Big Boys and Yardsale Phantasy also do things differently when it comes to the branding. Famously, Big Boy Jeans have long been pioneers of the now-ubiquitous pocket logo with their iconic Big Boy logo - which they controversially replaced with a more toned-down version a few years ago - embroidered on the front right pocket alongside a woven Big Boy label on the back of the waist. In contrast, Yardsale Phantasy Jeans mix things up with a large Phantasy logo embroidered on the pocket (to help draw attention to your perky buns) as well as a sleek Yardsale script logo on the front pocket for some more subtle branding.

In terms of variety, both brands offer up a wide selection of styles to choose from ranging from classic denim to more workwear-inspired looks. For the Big Boys, Polar have released countless variations over the years including Big Boy Cords, Big Boy Work Pants and Big Boy Shorts in a strong selection of colourways. Likewise, the Yardsale Phantasy Jeans are available in an equally broad range of styles and colourways, including rugged Panel Phantasy Jeans for the workwear vibes, haute couture Culture Phantasy Jeans with fancy embroidery and a re-worked logo, Tactical Phantasy Cargo Jeans for added utility and a variety of timeless bleached and faded denim colourways for a more classic look.

In the words of the great Bob Dylan: the times they are a-changing and nobody wants to get left behind. Grab yourself a pair of Yardsale Phantasy Jeans now before the TikTok kids cotton on!
