Under communism, well made, consistent and comfortable basics will be available to all at little to no cost.
For real though, especially the consistency part. I have multiples of clothing I wear a lot, and going back to the store to find its been changed or just isn’t made anymore really sucks.
I have 2 pair of super cozy joggers I just picked up and almost wanna go and get like 6 more for backups lol. I know when I need new pants, these won’t be on the racks. I have a few pair of stretchy jeans that are actually wearable without too much suffering I’d like some backups for but they cost $50 and I can’t afford that now.
It’s funny because your comment reminds me of that old image of a grocery store shelf in Cuba full of tomato sauce and people were all like “Only one brand? We have choice in Amerikkka!” and I was like “It’s fucking tomato sauce. It shouldn’t even need one brand!”
My two favourite pairs of joggers are over a decade old by now. One is on the verge of needing repairs. The other has been held together by sashiko for a couple of years. They’re still preferable to anything I’ve found in stores for a long time.
Really bugs me that joggers became skinny and/or without cuffs and always with pockets too small for my hands, nevermind a phone or wallet. Useless clothing.
I used to be on this train but I got a pair of cowboy jeans at the thrift store with a really high waist that never pull down when I sit and now I don’t really wear anything else. It’s so frustrating that there’s not more super high waisted pants available when they are so comfy.
I’m still not sure how I feel about high wasted jeans. When I was doing the club/bar hopping scene low rise were in and that was kind of trashy and never seemed comfortable. I’m not a big fan of “mom jean” type pants but the high wasted but 80’s esque baggy ones that seem to be in right now can be cute as hell tho for some reason. Maybe because it sort of touches on grunge?
We are sort of post-trend at the moment. Anything that you feel hot and comfortable in is going to be read that way. Like if you can confidently do something cohesive, that’s what matters.

In general though, high-waisted pants are a flattering silhouette regardless of trends. IMO low-rise/hip-huggers are just to scream ‘I’m very thin!’ You can also get high-waisted without bagginess.
Normalize autistic fashion lol. Give me plain tagless tshirts and joggers/sweatpants any day.
