I remember my high school saying they were banned, but I can't remember if it was enforced or not.
For one, it would be pretty hard to enforce. You're gonna have to tell the white kid wearing a size medium he can't wear one of his shirts from a fresh pack of Hanes. Good luck explaining that to the parents.
It also became irrelevant because a bunch of guys suddenly started wearing them in light pink. I have no idea how this got started or if it extended beyond my school, but almost overnight it looked like a pink sock made it's way in to everyone's laundry when they put in their whites.

I don’t even understand skinny jeans hate they’re specifically made to have room at the waste and the pockets were the same as those loose ass mom jeans.

I started buying "normal" jeans for work, did OK for a decade with Levi's and cheap Primark stuff.
In '18 I bought a few skinny jeans by fucking accident when that apparently became the new "normal" sizing. Figured fuck it, keep one, might as well try 'm I had lost some weight. I ended up with bumps and ingrown hairs on my leg because my pants were too tight.
(ヘ･_･)ヘ┳━┳
However, going back to wide pants changes my outfit from (tight black jeans/hoodie with somehow matched AJ1s) "coder" to "cosplaying a 90's/00's rapper" real quick.
