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

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.

Levi's have model numbers and the cut doesn't change with time

Levi is very expensive in my country

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

real Levis are expensive everywhere unless on sale

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

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

Oof, those are pricey. I need to get a sewing machine.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

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

Thank you, but also Gucci is cheating

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

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

If you wear a kilt you can still have a belt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

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.
