Can't wait for baggy again, my nuts can't take the skinny phases.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

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

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

We’re back to baggy baby. The time has come

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

Just embrace being old and wear sweatpants or cargo shorts everywhere.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

I just discovered the running shorts with built in underwear. Amazing.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

Um... I think those are bathing suits

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

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 27 points 4 months ago

Be the change you wish to see in the world!

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Even kilts have fashion cycles

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] ammonium@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

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

[–] EunieIsTheBus@feddit.de 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] mrgreyeyes@feddit.nl 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] razorwiregoatlick@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That reminds me that I have cheesecake in the fridge.

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

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

DC fat shoes are the best!

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 !!!

[–] GoosLife@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago (2 children)

This, but literally the opposite lol

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tried both, think both are weird. Prefer a normal or slim fit.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Tried both, hate both. Pooh-bear at all opportunities.

respectfully, how do u find baggy pants uncomfortable ?

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] GoosLife@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

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

And I'm not complaining.

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

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

[–] iarigby@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I’m gonna buy enough baggy pants while they’re available to survive the next skinny cycle

[–] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

I’m glad we lost some weight! Good job!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

Bell bottom jeans are evidence of this evolution in action.

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.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

And here I am on the 10th year of wearing cargo shorts every day of the year.

Team Overalls

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

...i've waited thirty years for pinch-rolling to become socially-acceptable again: is now my time to shine?..

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

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

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

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.

[–] 01101000_01101001@mander.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

A broken clock is right twice a day. Sometimes my clothes are in style.

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 4 points 4 months ago
