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!

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

32

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.

8

The quality changes. Their jeans in the past 10 years are just the same as others, but higher prices. They are not special anymore.

6

Yeah, true. That's a bummer. I only buy super basic stuff and they seem to keep making that forever.

lemmy.world

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.

6

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!

Not only are they outrageously expensive, they even manage to be the ugliest pants I've ever seen.

Well done

It can be hard to find the pants you like "off cycle".

7

Just like it's becoming impossible to find 100% cotton jeans. Everything is stretchy. More comfortable, but far less durable.

4

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.

1

Just wear classic Levi's, dude. That's what I've done the whole time.

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...

3

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.

1

Where are live kids are wearing super extra baggy jeans. It's almost ridiculous.

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.

9

No, they're sweatpants, just with a slimmer fit and tapered legs so they're a little nicer looking.

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

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.

Can anyone tell me the rules? Jeans shorts arent ok, cargo shorts arent ok, do my legs have to live in darkness?

4

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.

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.

When's the dress coming back? Toga, kilt, long tunic etc. The balls desire airy freedom!

I'm going commando in harem pants. Balls have all the airy freedom they desire.

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!

Full price? Paying extra for someone to ruin your pants and their lungs you mean

I buy them with stretch denim. When I'm fat they fit and whem I'm fit they fit.

I'm now topping up for my winter fat cycle.

Great. I need to restock my supply of comfortable pants so I can survive the next skinny pants winter

Jokes on you. I haven't changed styles since 06. DCs fat shoes and Dickies or loose jeans.

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 !!!

respectfully, how do u find baggy pants uncomfortable ?

7

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.

14

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.

Saw a young dude at the movies wearing Jnco Jeans. The cycle is almost complete.

My son just asked me the other day if I had any JNCOs in my closet that he could have lmao

4

Cycle is getting tired of something -> forgetting you got tired of the thing. Rinse repeat

11

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?

2

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.

lemmy.world

Bell bottom jeans are evidence of this evolution in action.

7

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?

1

I don't think scratching your balls in public was ever socially acceptable.

13

I used to be in, but then they changed what 'in' was.
Now, apparently, they've changed it back!

where?
I'm in a country where only the tightest jeans (on all sexes) will suffice

2

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.

Team Overalls

They're so much more comfortable than pants. I love Carhartts

6

Where are Jncos in this cycle? I'd assume they were at the bottom. Was that just a particularly baggy cycle?

5

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.

5

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...

Maggotyreply

You can just buy cotton ripstop pants too though.

lemmy.today

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...

3

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.

Kilts FTW. Not only do they allow you to take a shit on the battlefield easily, it also makes it far easier to teabag your fallen foes.

2

Are kilts only short? 🤔

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.

2

Every kilt I've ever worn comes to the bottom of my knees. That's a few inches longer than normal, normally they reach the top to middle of your knee-cap. They could be longer I suppose, but that inhibits the previously mentioned pooping abilities.

Edit: upon further research, there's something called a "great kilt" that extends further down your shins.

sh.itjust.works

Beware the short length cycle, you may soon need to wear those very short shorts like in the 80s

12

Cotton or even polyester chinos of regular fit. More comfortable than any jeans and also better looking imo

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.

10

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.

Baggy legs, fitted (but not tight) around the hips and ass. Perfect for all genders 😌
