I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

    I was actually wondering the other day when my sister was bitching about her jeans not having real pockets why women who already wear jeans don’t just buy men’s jeans. Even skinny jeans for emo boys at Hot Topic have real pockets.

      Well, mens pants don’t fit most women. If the pants fit our waists, we can’t get them over our thighs/hips. If they fit our hips, they’re enormous on the waist. It’s already a bitch and a half to find women’s pants that fit, much less trying out men’s pants.

        May I suggest you start a new fashion trend: shoulder wallet “holsters” for women. Now you too can be practical while looking like a grizzled tv loose cannon police detective.

          I tried this and own a set, but they don’t fit my phone so I’d need to get a bigger one again. It was fun for a while tho

        Yeah, the only time I made boys pants fit was when I was a late teen/young adult before I had kids. Now there’s just no way it would ever work.

        That said, all the new shorts and pants I buy have pockets. The shorts are basically women’s versions of men’s basketball shorts and the pants are yoga ones. Super comfy.

        This. My husband is approximately the same height and weight I am; we have the same waist measurements and if I’m being honest he looks hella good in my pants.

        However, I can barely get his jeans over my hips and they’re too tight in the thighs. Not too mention the awkward kangaroo pouch crotch area.

        We both wear men’s goodfellow PJ bottoms from target (because POCKETS) and I wear a medium, he wears a small because he doesn’t have hips.

      The cut is really different. Chances are if a woman can fit her hips into a pair of men’s jeans, that will mean the waistband is several sizes too big.
