Alright, why are most pants options so terrible?

I thought maybe it was an American thing.

I'm American and I can assure you that where I live, men do not wear jeans that are above the ankles. Some of the younger guys do wear skinny jeans but those go down to the top of the shoes.

Maybe it's a Cali thing and all of the men there are dressing like Don Johnson did, back in the 80's with his short white pants and no socks!

They don't wear pants like that here either. At least not in the part of Cali i'm from.

Seriously, so many expansions and still it's hard to just find normal pants! I'm no fashion person, do people actually wear what's in the game on a regular basis these days?

Pants at weird heights, weird colour combinations.. If there was a way to just filter out all the dumb options, I would. Whenever I get a new expansion it seems I can be lucky if one out of ten new pants options are actually something normal that people might wear.

Just give me some regular jeans in various sizes that aren't ripped, weirdly decorated or whatever.

I had a candidate for a housekeeper show up at my house for a quick interview, recently. This is in RL. She had so many slashes in her jeans, I wondered how she stayed warm. It's been borderline freezing her most recently. I agree, most of the pants are awful in the game. Trying to make a Sim look 'with it' and stylish is almost contrary unto itself. I don't wear slashed or threadbare jeans, if I can help it. Nor am I inclined in RL to spend well over $100.00 for a pair of jeans that are torn. That's not fashion in my eyes, that's weird. Once my pants split, I discard them. They are not even fit for the homeless community. Why should they wear rags? Why would a Sim (let alone a person in RL) commit to wearing rags?

And don't get me started on the patterns of the fabric …

I actually like the low hanging pants from uni with the underwear showing, because that's actually something real life people wear.

Seeing how terrible most pants already look now, it's just going to look worse in a few years no doubt. I always prefer the more timeless clothes.

Real life thugs wear, you mean. Are you aware that was a Gang style of dress that somehow (why I don't know) the fashion industry adopted and made it mainstream? I, for one, would never allow either of my sons to wear their pants even partway down their buttocks so that their underwear showed. Just like I would never wear a bra on the OUTSIDE of my shirt. Thank you so very little Madonna, for that unadvised fashion statement? Yikes. And the world thought fashion in the 1960s was scandalous. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Oops, double post. My bad.
