As someone who rollerbladed more than walked as a kid, and has played ice hockey for over 10 years, I have found a massive flaw.... namely in that pants these days are FAR TOO NARROW. How the fuck are my tree-trunk legs supposed to get into these skinny jeans?
Easy, get jeans (or chinos) with elastene. Absolute game changers.
I've got tree trunk legs and love the stretchy type pants.
I used to shop at particular stores... ahem mostly gothic, but they've all pretty much disappeared throughout the city. So I've resorted to buying stuff on Etsy and yeah, apparently people that are buying them have legs that resemble twiggy sticks. Even if I get slightly larger waist sizes and just chuck on a belt it doesn't work.
I think you may need to go big box retail, unfortunately.
Or take up sowing... and find my own time to do so... egh, big box it is.
You shall reap the rewards of your effort some day... 🌾

I've heard rumours that 90's style loose jeans are coming back in style. Bring back grunge! It was the comfiest fashion trend ever.
26 Red Pants comin' back?! If only I had the same waistline as I did when I was 18.
Plaid for life!
I've heard fluro headbands are back too.
