What are 'Phat Pants'?

Phat pants or phatties are a cut of jeans worn by ravers that are fitted at the waist but get wider
down the legs all the way to the ground where they enclose the feet due to their width. Phat pants are usually worn by ravers and can be used as a visual identifier. Usually made of denim, but can be made of any material. Ravers will often customise their phat pants by covering them with reflective materials of their own design, the brighter the better. This can help with recognition at raves.
Phat pants are often worn with braces that are not designed to be worn over the shoulders. They are quite often too short to do this anyway. They hang loosely on the pants from carabiners at the waist, and are usually brightly coloured webbing with a reflective strip sewn down the middle. Usually, the binding ring at the back is a heavy metal, which helps the braces to swing out in an arc around the dancer when spinningMore commonly know as Tripp pants since it is a clothing line sold in stores such as Hot Topic under the brand name of Tripp NYC some times called "Tripps". It is a fashion style mostly worn by punk and goth clicks thought the womens styles are sought after by emo clicks. Usually costly around $68 per pair they are some of the more expensive clothing in the before mentioned groupings.

  2. No, Phat pants are not at Hot Topic. and I doubt if they'll ever be available for under 100 bucks, unless you make them yourself. Phatpants have rave suspenders, not chains.
