‘Zara death pants’: are these the world’s most dangerous trousers?

Some people's parents didn't teach them to fear and respect the escalator.

This a symptom of a society who didnt see LiveLeak escalator accidents growing up

Usually people don't drag their skirt on the ground like the cuffs of those pants. It's a stupid design, the way to make them work is to model them after Japanese Hakama pants, but use lighter material.

So what exactly is happening when people wear these danger-pants? Apparently the voluminous fabric gets wrapped around itself, as well as the wearer’s ankles and feet, causing them to trip.

Surely that’s always going to be an issue with this kind of very baggy design? That’s what stylist Clare Chambers told the Metro. “The wider the leg, the more likely it is to get caught and wrapped around the opposite leg/foot causing the wearer to trip and fall,” she said.

Yess death to the flowy extra baggy ridiculous trash bag pants.

Not sure but usually a skirt does not touch the floor.

I don't think I could have kept a straight face if the escalator one happened in front of me.

While we're on fashion, I will see your JNCOs and raise you Iori Yagami's pants complete with straitjacket strap connecting both legs:

...Because when the hell else am I ever going to be able to trot out that piece of trivia? You know, perfect for a guy who kicks people for a living.

I still miss my JNCOs, though. Imagine my surprise to learn that they're apparently still around.

Seriously. I'm a man but my mother and grandmother decided to teach me to sow as a kid for reasons they never explained in life. The first thing I thought was that this is just a skirt with extra seams, act accordingly. The second was that these women aren't getting their clothes fitted and hemmed, as one should always do.

Found the Gen X or, alternatively, Gen Z

That 30–40 year fashion cycle never fails

But yeesh, I think they look like dogwater. Clothes look best when they fit the shape of the human, imo. Anything else just looks like a walking curtain to me.

Reason: Trying out something new.

Women's pants usually come in only one type of size (e.g. small, medium or large) and you can't adjust for height, unlike with men's pants. So if you're a woman and you start getting fat, you'd better also growing upwards too!

Fashion contains a lot of things that are intrinsic to the human experience.

It can provide protection, practicality like pockets and bags for carrying items, non-verbal communication, disguising or bolstering one’s identity, etc.

Men also enjoy fashions that are not practical on first view.

Nope, corsets were not anywhere near the hazard people like to characterize them as. They were essentially a combined shapewear and bra, and most women achieved those exaggerated silhouettes with padding, not tightening things. The materials corsets were made of back then (whale balleen, paper, reeds, ribbons, cording and sometimes a wooden busk) weren't puncturing anyone's lungs. It was just a popular past time of men in the day to ridicule and belittle women for their fashion choices, a time honored tradition that continues to this day.

Meanwhile men who insist on cargo shorts and flip flops to go with ill-fitting graphic t-shirts complain that women don't find them attractive and turn into incels.
