Very Chill Pants
Moschino shirts and sparkly Gucci shoes, Prada, and stuff. Mixed with your jeans, Stone Island & Versace. Shining & bright in the nightclub lights. Fabulous tack.
But there’s some people out there fighting against these trends and are returning the trend of the 90s. Let me introduce to the world… VeryChillPants.
So, what is VeryChillPants?
Chill
To some people VCP is just another ridiculous Instagram page with little to no meaning behind it. The best way of looking at it is, VCP is a lifestyle. It’s a way of life. A movement. A political view. A revolution so to speak. We want people to know it’s okay to wear pants that aren’t stuck to your legs like the chewing gum under a table down the back of history class. For years we’ve seen the negative impact that a tight-fitting pant has had on society as a whole and we’re here to combat that and fight against the hierarchy of tight pants. But c’mere I don’t want people to look at us as some kind of heroes or messiahs, we put our pants on like you do in the morning, one very god damn chill leg at a time.
What is the purpose of the page?
This page is a medium for us to showcase the world’s struggle against conforming to the conventionally fitted pant. This page is a torch in the darkness of what society has become with trendy, uncomfortable and straight not chill clothing. We are showing people that if they don't feel comfortable fitting into skinny jeans and furtherly fitting into where they work or go to school, that’s okay because there is a whole world of fucking chill people to meet and enjoy.
When did you decide to set up your own clothing brand Instagram account?
Very Chill
Let me stop you there Shane, this is not a clothing brand. Yes, we might sell some freakin pants soon but what's a couple pant sales between friends? On our last trip to Berlin City, where we have a couple of friends living the last few years, we were scrambling eggs in the kitchen one morning and noticed that we were both wearing some HELLA chill pants. This feeling of mutual chill vibes set us up to get the train to Warschauer Straße and fucking send it on some flea markets.
How many people work for VeryChillPants or is it just you by yourself?
Well Shane, nobody really works for VCP, yeah a couple dudes might have the log in for the insta but it really runs a lot deeper than that. We think that in a way, everyone who wants to work with Chill Pants already does, from the homie cruising down the boardwalk wearing some cuffed Dickies, to the dude sitting outside Metro Cafe wearing some chords and you know that guy you saw the other day copping a couple vinyls with his GF and he just so happened to be wearing some bleached denim baggy dungarees? Well we like to think he works with us too. The only man we will name that we work with is Shaun Gannon, a very handsome graphic designer who made us up a logo so chill that we honestly get shivers every time we open the gram now.
What are your plans for the future? Do you plan on creating your own Chill Pants to sell someday?
Chill Pants
Well without giving away too much… yes, we absolutely do. What the frick kinda page dedicated to pants would we be without our own line of pants. Palace watch your back, ye. Obviously when it comes to this stuff the possibilities are absolutely endless. Definitely gonna do a collab with Dickies, that’s a given. But at the moment we have no major plans as of yet, we just gonna chill out and hope more people chill out too!
