    All of these options are still better than spending full price for a pair of jeans that were lovingly crafted to start with holes in them!

    Where I live, every goddamn girl is wearing yoga pants.

    And I’m not complaining.

    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.

    Baggy pants trap heat, great for winter and terrible for summer.

    Skinny pants breathe, great for summer and terrible for winter.

    Simple as.

      Skinny pants are impossible to put on and remove when it’s hot.
      And don’t talk to me about the swamp ass from squished butt cheeks all day.

        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!

    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)

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

      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?
