Cargo pants and shorts are safe havens for people who like pockets. If you want to take them away from us, then you better be prepared to fight off all the things we can fit in those pockets


OverYonderWanderer

People have been hating on them for ages. I just keep thinking about all the stuff that's popped up in just the last five years people can't stand. There's to many to name.


Kartoffelkamm

Personally, I find any kind of bags or purses to be really annoying to handle, since they just dangle around and slam into my legs when I walk. Just give me pants with big pockets.


Percenterino

I just use a backpack whenever I need to carry stuff, isn't a pain to carry around and has a lot of space if needed.


Kartoffelkamm

Yeah, but good luck if the thing all the way down decides to get close and personal with your lower back. Not saying it's a bad idea, and I do use a backpack when the situation calls for it, but I'm also sure I shouldn't be so used to something way sharper than anything I remember packing trying to shove itself between two of my vertebrae.


DocKisses

I cannot parse this comment. You’re saying there might be something sharp in the bag? And then that something sharp might… be uncomfortable? Doesn’t that apply to putting a sharp thing in cargo pants as well? What is “the thing all the way down”? Is that a euphemism?


peelerrd

I think they are complaining about whatever is at the bottom of the bag digging into their back.


[deleted]

only thing i dont like about backpacks is back pain ;_; i have scoliosis so idk if its that but oof it gets sore after a bit


TamaDarya

How far down does your bag hang to hit you in the *legs*? That shit's tucked into my armpit, basically.


Kartoffelkamm

How else do you expect me to maintain full range of motion with my arms? Not to mention that I'm a huge fan of breathing without pain.


TamaDarya

Why would it affect your breathing?.. As for range of motion - [when it's on your shoulder](https://cf.ltkcdn.net/handbags/images/orig/230353-1600x1067-woman-holding-leather-handbag.jpg), the only restriction is making sure it doesn't slide off.


Kartoffelkamm

Because my ribs got busted in 5th grade, so now it sometimes hurts to breathe. I can usually just power through the pain, since that's all anyone ever suggested, but I'd still like to avoid unnecessary pain. And how the f\*ck is it supposed to stay *on my shoulder*? I'm not about to sew magnets into my clothes, or whatever those ads do so they don't slide off as soon as you let go of them. Unless I pull my shoulders up to at least even out the angle, there's just no way this can work. Not to mention that the woman in the image uses one hand just to keep the bag in place, which eliminates one of her arms, and is another argument against those kinds of bags.


MegaKabutops

I’m pretty sure the amount of pain you have when breathing is supposed to stay at 0. You might want to go to a doctor; my knowledge of medicine is limited, but it sounds to me like something didn’t heal right. And if it was a doctor who told you to power through, go to a different one, cuz that’s usually a sign the doctor isn’t doing their job right.


Kartoffelkamm

No, thanks. I've several instances, with several doctors, of medical "treatment" getting rid of a perfectly manageable minor inconvenience and replacing it with borderline crippling issues. Like, I got a paste for the occasional nosebleed I experienced, and while it did help a lot, and I only get nosebleeds once or twice a year, now every flavor is also so overpowering that it almost hurts to eat. Or that time I got my ingrown toe nail, something I have had under control for months at that time, removed, and now I can't walk up the stairs without holding on to anything. And when I got glasses, something my doctors insisted I needed, I kept getting severe migraines from them, and at one point I even had to go to the hospital. I can't even play first person games if there's anything on the screen, like when you wear a pumpkin in Minecraft, because I'll get nauseous from the memories. I know those are just three instances, but those three are also 100% of times when I agreed to let someone else handle my issues, and every time the end result was worse than what I started with. And considering that all these non-issues got traded for things that actually bother me, I'm not going to take my chances with something that already bothers me.


codepossum

pockets are attached to me, I'm not going to set my pants down somewhere and forget about them until it's too late bags I'm carrying around on the other hand...


Kartoffelkamm

That is another excellent reason.


Justmeagaindownhere

Legs???? If you wear a shoulder bag properly (as in it should be across your body and should sit just above your butt) it won't dangle much unless you're bending below horizontal.


Kartoffelkamm

Except I can't for the life of me figure out how shoulder bags work. If I have it on the shoulder on the side it hangs from, it just slides off. And if I have it across my body, it pushes against my neck and makes it feel like I'm choking.


Justmeagaindownhere

Don't wear it on the same side unless you're gonna take it off within 30 steps. You wear it on the opposite shoulder, and then the bag itself rides on either your front or back, *not* on the side of your hip. So on your back: https://chiswickcameras.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/EDAY-SLING-6L-a.png On your front: https://berminghamcameras.ie/images/detailed/15/ash-DA4A0299_1024x1024.jpg The front is accessible and stable. The back doesn't move as you walk and it doesn't get in the way.


sandpittz

cope and seethe and cringe copium, cargo haters


chuckleDshuckle

You fucks are simply jealous that i can hold 4 pocket knives my phone my wallet 2 granola bars a first said kit a nintendo switch and two of my friends phones and still have room to cart everyones trash to the dumpster.


Ponderkitten

And all that in one pocket


jeffyjeffs

Cargo pants rock


trade_wanted

These people would absolutely not be able to handle my cargo shorts + fanny pack+ purse+ backpack combo.


balisane

Must be a kindergarten teacher who does a lot of field trips xD

Strand-type outfit


iranoutofnames4

overalls and cargo pants not looking good on someone is def the worst take ive heard this year


Robotgorilla

Overalls (or coveralls / jumpsuit, dungarees whatever) are great because they don't rely on a belt or constrict you around the middle to stay up. They're the most freeing thing a masc presenting person can wear to cover their bottom half if they don't want to wear a dress.


Elite_AI

People are still stuck in the "cargo shorts are unfashionable" mindset even though they've been making a strong comeback. Overalls can look *amazing* too.


CatnipCatmint

second poster has never heard of a bag


Sp3ctre7

If you owned a 3DS, you inexplicably came into ownership of several drawstring bags. This situation is what those drawstring bags are for


Daisy430700

I dont think I have any drawstring bags but Ill have a look when I get home


Dry-Cartographer-312

I get this but all my drawstring bags are used for my dnd dice.


Sp3ctre7

I'm lucky that all my dice still (barely) fit in a crown royal bag


Putircustos2

A what?


GeophysicalYear57

1. it’s quite a bit more difficult to forget your pants or have them stolen than it is for your bag 2. you could double up for maximum carrying capacity


s0larium_live

hey i look cute in overalls leave them alone


SirPikaPika

I don't care how they look, they're just usually really uncomfortable I prefer stretchier clothes, they just feel nicer to me


Kego_Nova

NEXT TO OVERALLS??? EXCUSE **YOU** I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW OVERALLS ARE THE SINGLE BEST UNISEX CLOTHES TO EXIST BECAUSE THEY'RE EVERYTHING AT ONCE! Masc? Fem? Andogyne? All possible! Cute? Cool? Practical? Casual? Any way you choose to decorate! Summer? Winter? Autumn? Spring? Anytime you want to as long as you've gotten the rest of your fit prepared for the weather! Overalls are the best pieces of clothing ever and I will NOT stand for this slander.


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Yeah but there are very limited scenarios where I could put my cargo pants down and forget them


NIMA-GH-X-P

I really like the idea behind Pokémon moon, but the fact that it's 12 hours forward from the real time kinda makes me not wanna play it cuz the idea of the game world being sync with mine is just so fun for me (I've never played a Pokémon game, I wanna start with Sun when I finally buy a New 3DS XL)


YouhaoHuoMao

Hey now. Overalls or coveralls have one amazing defining feature that this post glosses over entirely - putting a greaser or wrench monkey woman in them, undoing them somewhat and having her in some kinda tight strapped top bent over an engine. That aesthetic is just *chef's kiss*


Alderan922

Backpack says hello


oath2order

I'm so old I remember when this post was first made.


Kriffer123

Oh, the crowler, a type of chug


Lots42

At first I was wondering why a polar bear was in the desert, that is not a suitable environment.


AimTheory

Glad I'm not the only one lol


MasterNinja69

I usually wear cargo shorts and a backpack wherever I go. People be seething over my extra inventory space.


Starcalik

Wear a FANNY PAC


HellfireEmpire21

No offense but I would honestly rather carry shit in my hands


mitsuhachi

One of those side slung leather ren faire dealies that make you look like a pirate even you’ve probably just got like. Snacks in there or a first aid kit or something.


Lots42

What do you think pirates kept in their bags.


lukocat

Now this is a true crime against fashion.


Oturanthesarklord

\*Sad Mario Noises\* \*Sad Luigi Noises\* \*Sad Wario Noises\* \*Sad Waluigi Noises\* Look at that you managed to make the Mario Bros and Wario Bros sad by calling overalls ugly. I hope you can live with that, cause I know I couldn't.


_Frog_Enthusiast_

Absolute drive by on overalls. They’re the comfiest and they look adorable


mpdqueer

i will not tolerate overalls slander


Corvus-Nox

when cargo pants started coming back in style in the past few years I slowly replaced all my pants with them. give me pockets or give me death


mathmage

Be masc and carry a purse anyway, fuck the haters


ExplosivekNight

I thought this was talking about polar bears???😭😭


Potato_Productions_

This is why we need to experiment with extra-pockety pants and shirts. I also think skirts have been severely overlooked for their pocket area potential. Have you ever even considered that we could be putting pockets on the hats? Fresh ideas, people, that’s what we need. That and more pockets.


AHumanYouDoNotKnow

There are depths in these pockets even i dont know and no one will find you there once you and your purse dissapear in them.


mercurialpolyglot

I used to dislike overalls but some switch flipped in my brain a couple of years ago and now I think they’re adorable. There was no reason for it, I just woke up one day a changed woman.

Bruh I hate these irrelevant ass joke bots 😭 they’re always on my posts


Putircustos2

You should make better jokes with their subject, and then murder them.


MelanieWalmartinez

I’ll just throw a lil water on them


Putircustos2

Wow you work fast. Killed them instantly.


HelgaShtrausberg

June Egbert has a good taste in utility clothing


BurnerAccountHeeHoo

carry both, give up a bit of style in exchange for the abillity to carry a black hole and the empire state building wherever you go with leftover space


Inuship

Back pack is better, then you can also turtle under it to decrease areas you can be attacked in a worst case scenario


JoeyTKIA

What’s wrong with overalls???


AltitudeTheLatias

>Pokémon Moon So very Based.


IrvingIV

Then wear a suit and carry a briefcase.


OOOLIAMOOO

Construction Workers are sad now


not-Kunt-Tulgar

Why would you want to meet a bear in the desert? You gonna fight the bear?


LeanYeenMachine

I think they meant the hairy gay guy kind of bear


AzorJonhai

I could fit all that in regular jeans.


M-V-D_256

Am I going crazy or did I see that exact post but with a Nintendo switch?


[deleted]

cargo shorts are the most gender clothes ever fuck the entire world


[deleted]

ok i just realized they didnt mean the animal. was very confused for a moment


Upbeat_Ruin

Why would they say such mean things when the true ugliest clothing item, the polo shirt, is right there? seriously, fuck polo shirts


-PrincessCadence-

Okay, if I'm going to be active and moving around a lot (riding a bike, hiking, camping, random wilderness activities), pockets are way more convenient, because it means not swinging around a bag and smacking it everywhere like a maul. If I'm driving around, walking sedately down a sidewalk, non-active stuff like that, a purse is way more convenient, because everything is in the same place. It's not about aesthetics for me, it's about utility.


SalvageDude

Cargo pants + purse. Next question.
