You know it's possible to simply not give a duck to trends? I know, it sounds insane, but just do whatever you like. Try a skirt if you want, I bet it's nice on the balls.
Problem is finding stuff that isn't trending. My favorite brand for jeans that was super comfortable, cheap and durable stopped making baggy jeans, so I had to shop elsewhere which was much more expensive
Baggy means cargo pants and moar pockets. Yesssss. Also don't forget about the mid-phase between the two: bell-bottoms and boot cuts. I forget when they show up but I feel like we are due soon...
Ya guys dont just wear cargo pants? Like I know im an autistic Redneck but like why wear anything tighter if youre a guy? I dont like CBT why would I like to induce that with my pants.
I wear a lot of cargo joggers, which are really the best of both worlds. 10/10. I usually have to buy them in men's because of the eternal struggle for pockets, but it's worth it.
Not sure that they replace underwear but my wife has these and still wears very thin underwear with them since the stretch mesh you are calling underwear is not really underwear nor super comfy with direct sensitive skin contact during exercise.
I splurged on some "nice" sweat pants, and that's pretty much all I wear for fall/winter/spring, when I have to leave the house. Cargo shorts for summer.
It used to be PJs all day every day, but those nice sweats were a game changer.
Isn't sweatpants what most of the "younger generation" wear? Baggy T-shirt, sweat pants and sneakers with socks pulled all the way up outside the sweatpants.
I have Levis 501 classics, from 1993 that I wear often. I’m tired of fashion dictating what i’m supposed to wear. Though, i do like me some dress chinos, BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL…. Damn comfy.
i hate slim/skinny pants and i dont know why anyone ever likes them. they look bad (my opinion) and they are so uncomfortable. baggy pants superiority !!!
Duluth cargo pants that I got in my first year of highschool that have just kinda ended up being that way after avout a decade. I have been five foot fucken five since I was 14.
Though, where would they be on the cycle? Post-JNCO, when it just got to be somewhat Too Baggy, but not quite to the point where we want to know what your ankle looks like? Maybe 9 o'clock?
There's also the top baggy, bottom tight and top tight, bottom flared cycle, and the waistline and foot-hemline go up and down, and they never sync back up to a style you have left over.
My secret is I've been wearing BDUs and other kinds of surplus tactical/cargo pants since like highschool. Much as I despise the Mil-Ind-Com, some old G.I gear lasts a lifetime of use. It's made to resist rips and scrapes too.
Not only are they roomy and utilitarian, they're often much more breathable than thick jeans in summer. (And what's with jean pockets?!?) They don't particularly stand out unless you wanna have a fun pair like black and white "urban camo" or sky blue or purple or something.
It puts everything I use in arm's reach, too.
...Oh and you're not paying out the nose for some stupid logo embroidered on the buttocks.
I just avoid currently-issued stuff so nobody mistakes me for a servicemember or something. That'd be awkward.
Otherwise, for everyday life thankfully they're somewhat trend-immune, style-wise.
Just be aware of the blends. Old-style stuff might be much more cotton-based and breathable, for instance (but less durable). Polyester+Ripstop is pretty nice and durable but a bit coarse.
But there was a bit of a kerfuffle over the Navy trying to be trendy with that digital "blueberry" camo... apparently that crap melted pretty bad when exposed to fire. . .on a navy ship. Yeah. Yikes. (Not to mention blending in with the ocean if someone went overboard. Yay?)
Whoops. There's my pants-rant.
Oh, and I'm SO HAPPY flare-cuts are coming back because my wife rocks them. Hope that trend lasts a while.
...otherwise "fast fashion" needs to die as quick as it goes out of style...
The thing I was referring to previously is like a long skirt. Almost like you took a dress and just wore it from the waist down. I don't know what those would be called, but I want one so bad.
Putting them on in air conditioning solves the first half of that.
And for swamp ass you can prevent it if they cling to your thighs and cheeks with absolutely no space for heat to get trapped. Just really wedge it up there!
Baggy has always looked goofy. A stylish pair of pants should, ideally, make someone glance at your bits and bobs. Taut enough to accentuate but loose enough to tickle their curiosity. Baggy pants have always offered either too much or too little information. There’s no reveal when your groin is in plain view and there’s too much mystery when your pants offer no outline. If the realm of questions includes “what’s that smell” or “did they hide a whole rotisserie chicken?” then something has gone awry. Don't allow this to become acceptable again.
Your blasphemy accelerates us towards the inevitable. As you and the society you poison drown in denim, let my warnings echo across the vacuous chasm of your morality.
