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

...i've waited thirty years for pinch-rolling to become socially-acceptable again: is now my time to shine?..
I don't think scratching your balls in public was ever socially acceptable.
Nigga please, I always wore baggy shit
Team Overalls
They're so much more comfortable than pants. I love Carhartts

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...
You can just buy cotton ripstop pants too though.
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...

Bell bottom jeans are evidence of this evolution in action.
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?
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 !!!
This, but literally the opposite lol
Tried both, think both are weird. Prefer a normal or slim fit.
Tried both, hate both. Pooh-bear at all opportunities.
You just hate pants eh?
I can respect that
...more wakko than yakko, i guess?..
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!

I’m gonna buy enough baggy pants while they’re available to survive the next skinny cycle
I’m glad we lost some weight! Good job!
