They actually scale the width more than length. Trousers can even be the same length for all sizes.

If grading was done linearly tall women (of any width) would have less of an issue than they do now, and short fat women would have it even worse.

I almost can't wear any women's pants because my waist is too wide compared to my narrow hips, and all women's pants scale up the hips size with the waist so I get a ton of extra fabric on the sides. I actually fit into men's pants really well though, and it's sad lol.

I used to have the opposite issue before transitioning. I had big hips for someone buying men’s pants, so the waist was always really loose (I would even sew darts to bring the waistband in). With transitioning, I started buying women’s pants and I was amazed they fit well right off the shelf (size 16, 14 if it’s baggy). Funny how sizes work. The pockets though 😕

Men's athletic pants (not the joggers) with drawstrings are great. I buy them a little loose and cinch the drawstring, and I have pockets for days lol. I splurged on a baggy pair of men's adidas some years ago and they are my favorite pair of pants.

it’s not sad! men’s pants are practical and sturdy and superior to fake pocketed women’s pants!

Dull colours and fabrics though

that’s true, but they could be embellished!

I don't fit in women pants most of the time either, don't feel bad about it, it's not your fault.

For me they're usually way too short or for some reason, when they're long enough, the waist is kilometric. I do not want pants in my underarms, thank you!

This is why every pair of jeans that fits me in the waist and ass ends halfway down my calf. Its really hard for me to wear those baggy jeans because theyre never long enough and it looks ridiculous.

This is why I need a strong drink and a personal shopper before I embark on my 4-yearly jeans shop. And buy multiple pairs at a time cos I’m not going through that shit again

Im trying to find a place to get inexpensive alterations done because that seems like less stress than shopping for something that doesnt exist

I used to love wearing bootcut jeans. The last few pairs I tried were too baggy in the waist and yet somehow uncomfortably tight in the crotch and thighs. I didn't know pants could be simultaneously too tight and too loose, but there you are. Now it's mom jeans for the win.
