When I hear someone in the wild singing, “Pants on the ground”, I will agree with you.
It’s the circle of pants,
And we wear them all!
From the tightest skinny jeans,
To the widest jnco’s
While everyone is entitled to their preferences, if it’s not a tapered fit then they’re wrong.
/s
(But tapered fit is my preference though. Looks much classier than either extremes)
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…
You can just buy cotton ripstop pants too though.
Oh like a different blend that’s still durable but comfortable and breathey? I’ll have to keep an eye open for that some time.
The duty pants I have are crazy tough but in the Summer heat they insulate like crazy. 🫠 I think they’re mainly synthetic…
Most of them are these days. Just look for 100% cotton and if they list summer/winter weight go to summer as long as it’s just casual wear. For work in the woods the 50/50 blend is going to last longer, they just take twice as long to wear in and feel like crap before you get them there.
…i’ve waited thirty years for pinch-rolling to become socially-acceptable again: is now my time to shine?..
I don’t think scratching your balls in public was ever socially acceptable.
Bell bottom jeans are evidence of this evolution in action.
NO. Please no.
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?
Where I live, every goddamn girl is wearing yoga pants.
And I’m not complaining.
I hope yoga pants never go out of style.
Can’t wait for baggy again, my nuts can’t take the skinny phases.
Just wear classic Levi’s, dude. That’s what I’ve done the whole time.
Look at the balls on this guy
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.
Where are live kids are wearing super extra baggy jeans. It’s almost ridiculous.
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.
Shit, now I want to try a skirt!
If you wear a kilt you can still have a belt
Absolutely! I wear a kilt and they come with a built in belt system and you can wear a thick belt on top of it.
It can be hard to find the pants you like “off cycle”.
Just like it’s becoming impossible to find 100% cotton jeans. Everything is stretchy. More comfortable, but far less durable.
Oof, those are pricey. I need to get a sewing machine.
They are super high quality, made in the US and are actually a good company - so at least your money is well spent. It’s a solid investment.
No doubt, and they look good as well, but I’ve already been financially irresponsible yesterday so I’ll wait a bit 😅
Plus I’d need it shipped to Europe, so that’ll be on top if they even deliver here.
Holy moly, you weren’t kidding! Those have got to be the most pricey legwear I’ve ever seen!
Thank you, but also Gucci is cheating
Not only are they outrageously expensive, they even manage to be the ugliest pants I’ve ever seen.
Well done
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
Seriously. I bought new jeans two weeks ago. I went to multiple different stores. My choices were skinny jeans, a different brand of skinny jeans, or a different brand with a different style of skinny jeans.
Levi’s have model numbers and the cut doesn’t change with time
Levi is very expensive in my country
real Levis are expensive everywhere unless on sale
The quality changes. Their jeans in the past 10 years are just the same as others, but higher prices. They are not special anymore.
Yeah, true. That’s a bummer. I only buy super basic stuff and they seem to keep making that forever.
We’re back to baggy baby. The time has come
The guys wearing skinny pants almost never have thighs like the guy in the picture. There’s a whole lot of bird legs around here these days.
Saw a young dude at the movies wearing Jnco Jeans. The cycle is almost complete.
The 17yo summer worker at my job wears jnco jeans
My son just asked me the other day if I had any JNCOs in my closet that he could have lmao
Team Overalls
They’re so much more comfortable than pants. I love Carhartts
I’ve got an old pair of Liberty somewhere.
(Wrong comment location)
My pants should be loose up top for my cock and balls while being more well fitted past the knee so they dont catch on stuff. Fuck all ya im right.
So Justin Bieber circa 2014, i.e. dropcrotch pants, aka diaper pants.
I think those are some of the most hideous pants ever. Or do you mean like Swiss Guard pants?
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.
From the description, I’m picturing Dedra Meero and her uniform’s pants.
I’m gonna buy enough baggy pants while they’re available to survive the next skinny cycle
Nigga please, I always wore baggy shit
Just embrace being old and wear sweatpants or cargo shorts everywhere.
I just discovered the running shorts with built in underwear. Amazing.
Um… I think those are bathing suits
No no, these are women’s size. Women’s swimsuits don’t typically look like this. I’m no track star, but now I can forgo underwear like a track star!
oh interesting, I’ve never heard of running shorts with built-in underwear
Yeah I have these, and they work pretty well. You have the support and wicking like a bike short, but with modesty and pockets
Soothfeel Men’s 2 in 1 Running Shorts with 4 Pockets 5 Inch Quick Dry Gym Active Workout Athletic Shorts for Men with Liner https://a.co/d/06ZKVzJw
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 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.
are those the zip off kind?
No, they’re sweatpants, just with a slimmer fit and tapered legs so they’re a little nicer looking.
Can anyone tell me the rules? Jeans shorts arent ok, cargo shorts arent ok, do my legs have to live in darkness?
Just wear booty shorts.
I dont have a booty :( just a sorry old butt
rip
Same dude.
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.
Team cargo shorts checking in. Live in SE Asia and can wear them every day of the year.
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.
Interesting, didn’t know that. I still wear my socks on the inside.
