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

  It can be hard to find the pants you like "off cycle".
  
  If you wear a kilt you can still have a belt
- Just wear classic Levi's, dude. That's what I've done the whole time.
- We’re back to baggy baby. The time has come
- Look at the balls on this guy
- 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...
  
  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.
- Where are live kids are wearing super extra baggy jeans. It's almost ridiculous.

Just embrace being old and wear sweatpants or cargo shorts everywhere.
- 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.
  
  are those the zip off kind?
- I just discovered the running shorts with built in underwear. Amazing.
  
  Um... I think those are bathing suits
  
  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?
  
  Just wear booty shorts.
- 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.
- Team cargo shorts checking in. Live in SE Asia and can wear them every day of the year.
- 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.
  
  Interesting, didn't know that. I still wear my socks on the inside.

When's the dress coming back? Toga, kilt, long tunic etc. The balls desire airy freedom!
- Be the change you wish to see in the world!
- Even kilts have fashion cycles
- I'm going commando in harem pants. Balls have all the airy freedom they desire.
  
  MC Hammer called them parachute pants.

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.
- That reminds me that I have cheesecake in the fridge.
  
  I just had a cheese Danish, and it was So Good.

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

JNCO resurgence imminent.
- FINALLY! I can open the vault....
  Godammitnothingfits.
- My spirit is willing, but my wallet is spongy and bruised.
- I wonder if it also lead to nu metal resurgence.
- Yaaaass please

Jokes on you. I haven't changed styles since 06. DCs fat shoes and Dickies or loose jeans.
- DC fat shoes are the best!
- 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 !!!
- This, but literally the opposite lol
  
  Tried both, think both are weird. Prefer a normal or slim fit.
  
  respectfully, how do u find baggy pants uncomfortable ?
- ...skinny pants look skanky as fck and grotesquely unflattering: just wear shorts instead...

Saw a young dude at the movies wearing Jnco Jeans. The cycle is almost complete.
- The 17yo summer worker at my job wears jnco jeans
- My son just asked me the other day if I had any JNCOs in my closet that he could have lmao

Where I live, every goddamn girl is wearing yoga pants.
And I'm not complaining.
- I hope yoga pants never go out of style.

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

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

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’m glad we lost some weight! Good job!

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?
  
  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.
  
  From the description, I'm picturing Dedra Meero and her uniform's pants.

And here I am on the 10th year of wearing cargo shorts every day of the year.
- Now they're in
  
  I used to be in, but then they changed what 'in' was.
  Now, apparently, they've changed it back!

I've definitely noticed lots of girls in particular starting to wear baggy jeans again.
- where?
  I'm in a country where only the tightest jeans (on all sexes) will suffice
  
  USA is seeing a resurgence in 90s mom jeans.

Team Overalls
They're so much more comfortable than pants. I love Carhartts
- I've got an old pair of Liberty somewhere.

...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.

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.

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.

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

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)

Happy cake day!

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

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...

Parachute or non-parachute?

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

I just wear shorts
- Beware the short length cycle, you may soon need to wear those very short shorts like in the 80s
  
  The stage after that is lycra

I wish I still had my JNCOs.
Or I should get one of those man skirts, like what the guard dude in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wore.
I don't think I would like skinny jeans even if I was skinny.
- 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.
  
  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.

Baggy will turn into skinny if you wash it too much

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!

When I hear someone in the wild singing, "Pants on the ground", I will agree with you.
- It's the circle of pants,
  And we wear them all!
  From the tightest skinny jeans,
  To the widest jnco's

(Wrong comment location)

Nigga please, I always wore baggy shit

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.
- Top tier comment, artfully put.
- Baggy legs, fitted (but not tight) around the hips and ass. Perfect for all genders 😌
  
  Your blasphemy accelerates us towards the inevitable. As you and the society you poison drown in denim, let my warnings echo across the vacuous chasm of your morality.
- That's why I go naked to relay the maximum amount of information.
