Mid-pandemic, I think a lot of people discovered a newfound hatred for jeans and other such "hard pants" after spending weeks upon weeks of lounging at home in their pajamas. I know I did, doubly so after doing inventory on my pants drawer and finding myself utterly bored with my hip-high stack of plain black skinny jeans. Ugh, I'll never buy or make a pair ever again. Naturally I've pivoted so far in the opposite direction that I've decided all pants from now on must be as wide as the sea. My first project, after making such a decree? A pair of culottes with legs spacious enough to get lost in, in a colorful paisley print that's busy enough to... Um. Get lost in.
