and I can't just get new pants because you can't try any pants on

now, you might think the obvious solution thing would be to not wear pants

i'm so sorry

find a place with free returns.

or get nice girlfriend leggings.

but I need to get dressed every day or I fail to maintain the illusion that I have control over my life

amazon does amazon wardrobe now?

yeah, I think I might have to order things and return them

or just wear… belts

the nomura option

Abandon pants, embrace athlesiure

it's Time for joggers

also I have to work and I'm not allowed to wear leggings

i ran into the can't try on problem today at the store and was deeply horrified since sizing on women's clothing is meaningless

I am usually a standard size in tops but not in bottoms

yes

why are pants

WHY ARE PANTS

last time i tried to buy pants i got three pairs, all the same size, all the same brand, and only one fit

the only place i know off the top of my head that is still allowing free returns is american eagle?

so you can buy pants from them and return if they don't fit well

(but the hassle of... ordering and waiting and then returning it)

I strongly recommend leggings and soft dresses, also skirts with elastic waistbands, to lie down in

also order online

Betabrand has all those “yoga pant trousers”

They look like real pants but they are basically yoga pants with tailoring details

Unfortunately kind of on the spendy side, but you might be able to find manufacturers who knock them off selling on Amazon.

asos has some legging pants

but honestly I wore leggings as tights all winter and nobody noticed

Y.A.S tailored pants with elasticated waist in black... these are like regular pants with an elastic waistband

this is so painful, why can't I have tailored pants

as I've gotten older I also have gotten more of a handle on why/how my clothes don't fit but also steadily more convinced that online measurements are false and not to be trusted

I think I might try paper bag pants…
