Fashion goes in cycles. Personally I'm just waiting for the nice wide jeans to filter down to an affordable price point and then I'm going to get some for myself.

I hate skinny jeans. They feel cloying and I'm pretty sure they promote swamp crotch.

Even non skinny jeans got tight. I have really old Dickies pants and newer ones the same size. The legs are thinner and less comfortable, I buy 2-4 sizes up so my legs can move about at work.

It sort of felt like capitalism was embracing the skinny leg trend and that's how it became so ubiquitous even outside of fashion. Same price, less fabric.

As I've aged and having been around for both fads I feel like a waist that fits but with very roomy legs is probably the most comfortable.
