It’s a phenomena. There are people making their way across the corners of the earth wearing the most ridiculous, ugly, outlandish pants ever. Things they’re never be caught dead wearing at home. Yet, a good 70 percent of travelers (or more, in certain backpacker areas) have been caught wearing them.
Poofy, printed, garish, neon, ill fitting, mushroomed, Aladdin pants. Its almost a comic statement of, “I just don’t care”.
We’ll see if I break down and buy a pair on this 6 month trip. Doubtful. I may not be a fashionista, but I have some dignity.
I see the function. They are inexpensive, lightweight, comfortable, pack well, and breathe well. Same with Crocs. But that doesn’t mean you wear them… does it?
