Just embrace being old and wear sweatpants or cargo shorts everywhere.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wear a lot of cargo joggers, which are really the best of both worlds. 10/10. I usually have to buy them in men's because of the eternal struggle for pockets, but it's worth it.

No, they're sweatpants, just with a slimmer fit and tapered legs so they're a little nicer looking.

I just discovered the running shorts with built in underwear. Amazing.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Um... I think those are bathing suits

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No no, these are women's size. Women's swimsuits don't typically look like this. I'm no track star, but now I can forgo underwear like a track star!

oh interesting, I've never heard of running shorts with built-in underwear

[–] smort@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah I have these, and they work pretty well. You have the support and wicking like a bike short, but with modesty and pockets

Not sure that they replace underwear but my wife has these and still wears very thin underwear with them since the stretch mesh you are calling underwear is not really underwear nor super comfy with direct sensitive skin contact during exercise.

Can anyone tell me the rules? Jeans shorts arent ok, cargo shorts arent ok, do my legs have to live in darkness?

I dont have a booty :( just a sorry old butt

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Same dude.

I splurged on some "nice" sweat pants, and that's pretty much all I wear for fall/winter/spring, when I have to leave the house. Cargo shorts for summer.

It used to be PJs all day every day, but those nice sweats were a game changer.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Team cargo shorts checking in. Live in SE Asia and can wear them every day of the year.

Isn't sweatpants what most of the "younger generation" wear? Baggy T-shirt, sweat pants and sneakers with socks pulled all the way up outside the sweatpants.

[–] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Interesting, didn't know that. I still wear my socks on the inside.
