Straight Fit Chinos | 5'1 | First time trying them on | Too wide and stick with slim?
I'm 5'5" too and only within the last three months of 2023 bought my first ever pair of non-slim jeans/chinos (mom just always bought me slim/low-rise Old Navy and I never gave any other thought to it) by grabbing a pair of 501s off of ebay and the JCrew classic relaxed chinos and while I still don't know a lot about fashion stuff at all and they aren't as wide as a lot of people go, I've had a noticeable boost in confidence wearing them. You get over the hurdle fast.

Yeah I’m not saying they do lol there’s a difference in punks being provocative, for better or worse, and a capitalist company just copying it with zero intent

Using Nazi symbols was weirdly big in punk music when it was starting in the 70s which may be the angle they were attempting to go with but also Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux looked lame when they did it originally so it’s a wild thing to harken back to

There’s been an ever-growing sentiment in philosophy for around half a century and which is currently at its peak regarding the relationship between people and objects and how this divide is likely unnecessary. The school of New Materialism argues for a view that objects themselves have vitality and their own agency so if everything is just “people communicating” you’re leaving out the inherent power of objects themselves (there is room for this to be a dicey position because, of course, we cannot remove ourselves from the position of observer). Functionality in regards to fashion (or design, going back to Charli’s original example) viewed in this manner could be considered solely observer focused on-top of being rooted in commerce, rather than either being communicative on a human level or viewed through the lens of the object's form.
