I bought pants recently
I’m short so I got them from Uniqlo since you can get it altered to have a lower inseam
I am overwhelmed by the amounts of pants styles and fits out there
I got the straight jeans since they seemed like the normal option idk
Tell me about your pants
I basically always dress like I’m about to go hiking, so fashion isn’t really a thing for me, but Carhartt makes ripstop cargo pants that I like a lot. They’re usually about $60 new, but sometimes I find them in thrift stores (never in my size). Anyway, they’re super durable and loose enough for me to work/hike in them and they don’t give me a lot of sensory issues. They don’t do the swishing sound a lot of cheaper options do. The fabric is breathable enough for the mild summers where I live and I wear a base layer underneath during the winter.
Cargo pockets are nearly a requirement for me. I can fit a lot of snacks, gloves, etc. All the buttons (snaps on the pockets) and zippers are well made, reinforced pockets to clip your knife or a tool, gusseted crotch.
I’ve had one pair for about 3 years now and they are a little worn/faded in spots, but no holes yet. Since then I’ve bought a few more pairs. The only negatives are you can’t really wear them for office settings in some places (Pacific Northwest doesn’t seem to care) and I think the pants make me look more like a cop
