How did baggy and loose clothes become a thing in the '90s?

I'm watching The Last Dance and the suits the players wear are HUGE.

Growing up in the '90s, it felt like everyone wore baggy pants, baggy shirts, and generally baggy clothes. Why? How did this become the trend among most people?

Oh I know this one! It’s not going to be as comprehensive as like, actual historical questions FYI

Basically- blame Armani. Armani got really big “power suits” to be on trend (just look at photos of Michael Jordan in 95) In the 80s. It slowly started to spill over into most other fashion, particularly rap and things like that.
