Emily Ratajkowski’s nylon pants are so loud. Not colorwise. I mean literally loud. Can’t you hear them?
Swish, swish.
That specific, oh-so-satisfying sound is probably familiar to anyone who was conscious during the early ’00s, when nylon cargo pants—the ones with the elastic ties at the ankles, like EmRata’s—reigned supreme. And guess what? They’re back! Swish, swish, bish!
The supermodel was photographed walking her dog in New York City on Wednesday, August 30, in a pair of baggy, low-rise nylon pants that were just barely held up by a single knotted drawstring. She paired the silty gray pants with a black baby tee, taupe tennis shoes, and “vintage” earbuds plugged into her phone.
If she really wanted to evoke early ’00s nostalgia, Emily Ratajkowski would’ve tied a shoelace around her waist as a belt, like the teen I spied this morning in a similar ’fit of baby tee (red camouflage) and nylon pants (in royal blue, 10/10 swishy noise).
If you’re nostalgic for the sweet, sweet sound of a pair of nylon pants rubbing together, you could cop a pair for yourself, like these from Urban Outfitters. Or you could set this YouTube video on a loop, and listen to it through your circa-2013 Apple headphones. Time is a flat circle.
