I rock my skinny cargo pants to work on the regular. It's not so much about fashion as it is functionality, they still look cool tho

Millenials are truly lost

I honestly don't get it. Skinny jeans never made sense, 550s are about as snug as they can be if I expect to be able to get to my keys, and I'm not a big guy.

Pockets are awesome no matter what they're on as long as they have a use.

I wore them for a while. The trick is do leg day, be an absolute twig otherwise, and tuck if you need to. It’s a means to show off legs and ass without wearing short shorts.

But yeah I grew up to straight leg jeans and now have the ass and legs to look great in them too

Yeah straight fit pants are safe and timeless (I think there was never a time where you could go wrong with pleated pants), relaxed and wide do look better, at least in my opinion.

Still, the amount of times I see these ugly ass fits, mostly men between idk 35 and 50, skinny jeans and ankle socks, then T-shirts with these extremely short sleeves that get stuck in their armpits or tight long sleeve shirts, and bonus points for wearing a not fitting suit jacket over that (instead of maybe at least a sports jacket).

If this will be the staple of old people fashion when they retire, I wouldn't be surprised. Just screams of early 2000's and the wardrobe never got an update.

Hm idk where this rant came from to be honest but I stand by my words. I just don't want to look at this anymore.

Late Gen X actually, just trying to Buscemi it up with my fellow blue collar Gen Z/Millennial coworkers
