    Skinny pants are a satanic device solely made to torture the inappropriately shaped

      I used to think that until I found drop crotch jogger jeans. Loose up top but skinny through the calves and cuffed to stay out of the mud. If I get extra longs I can wear them up over my bellybutton and the crotch is just normal. I looked for and found them when I found myself fantasizing about living life in my jogger scrub pants (where usually mud is the least worrisome thing that could wind up on my pants hems). Also they make my hips look huge in comparison to my tiny ankles and top so I get to look like a Pixar mom.

    Ive been wearing loose fit Dickies and Vans checkerboard slip ons for about 25 years now.

    Being cool as fuck has never gone out of style.

      Vans Slip-On Pros are basically the sharks of the shoe world: They hit optimal design a very long time ago, have barely changed since, and continue to remain one of the most effective species out there. They don’t seem to make as many color variant runs as they used to though, I used to have the Lizzie Amano editions in lavender / black and they looked awesome, I ran them ragged as cycling shoes.

    We’re already moving onto skinnier but flared styles. Skinny skinny is next.

      I’ve been sceptical of joggers at first, but now I cannot imagine wearing or buying anything else. a string instead of a button is such a quality of life improvement on its own.

        They’re like modern day utility pants! Plus you can get them with fleece lining which is god tier for winter

      The droopy crotch on most joggers is really annoying for me. I like a more loose fit around the thighs but not MC Hammer levels of loose.

        My gf says the same thing. She thinks they’re comfy but she cant wear them as part of an outfit. I’m sure if someone made joggers without the hang they’d get plenty of customers. I’m surprised nobody has tried yet, its like the only legitimate complaint I hear from people about them lol

    I don’t know if I was just too old when we switched to the skinny pants trend but I found them terrible on my balls

      That’s because they tried to mix them with low cut pants which was also popular in the 2000s. They are much better now.

    I never thought that the absurd baggy pants I wore back in school would ever come back into style because they were truly awful.

    But hey, what do I know - now they’re back and so am I … How do you do, fellow kids!?!

    The skinny jeans era was a nightmare of elasticated crap that died on contact with a washing machine. We’d better not have to go back to seeing everyone’s pants over their low waistline though.

    I’m totally cool with baggy fit coming back for a while, just please don’t bring back the pre-distressed dirty washed jeans that look like you’ve been rolling around in a barn all day and also shit yourself.

    Clothing and other things trend about every 30 years. And it’s driven by nostalgia. As you approach your 40s you’ll start seeing things that were popular when you were 10 and it makes you want to buy it, even if it’s a dumb nik-nak.

    Resist nostalgia purchases, folks.

      I never stopped playing Mortal Kombat 1-3. It’s hard to get someone nostalgic for a time they never left haha.

      I do have the arcade machine now though. My wife spoils me.

      As for my clothes, I’ve smoked, drank, and done way too many drugs to actually look youthful. When old folks tell me that I look younger than I am, I tell them it’s because I’m wearing the same clothes I bought 20 years ago and I look like a college age millennial because of that, and their sense of time is off.

      I just buy what’s comfy. And cheap. Most of all, I buy the first pair that fits. Who has time to worry about style, really?

      Yeah i grew up in the 90s. The skinny jean crazy didn’t land with me. I wore baggy carpenters until they died, then the widest bootcut I could find.

      Now I am in heaven, my favorite aesthetic is everywhere, baggy jeans, shirt sleeves over long sleeves, hell yes let’s skate
