    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

    I’ve definitely noticed lots of girls in particular starting to wear baggy jeans again.

    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…

        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.

      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?

          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!

              Yeah I have these, and they work pretty well. You have the support and wicking like a bike short, but with modesty and pockets

        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.

      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 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.

      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.

          Not OC but they drag behind the leg when moving, like to get caught on things and quite often drag on the ground. With slim/skinny it’s just your leg. Comfy, secure and with good pants, not limiting movement in any noticable capacity. Alas personally I prefer slim than skinny.

          Well, it obviously depends on the style of fabric. Soft and loose fabrics can be good to have baggy, such as sweatpants or flax-based summer clothes. But specifically for the type of jeans shown here, I don’t like the tactile feel of the excess fabric. And it catches on itself and gets in the way.

          I don’t like skinny jeans either, to be fair, but slim fit is good for me. Im also italian, if that explains it.

      …skinny pants look skanky as f*ck and grotesquely unflattering: just wear shorts instead…
