this is the off topic forum so i thought what the hell lol

i just got my first pair of converse and my jeans drag on the floor and its annoying, does any one have any helpful ideas?

Pull up your pants?

Cuff them?

Do a sort of surgical hem-job on your jeans?

I have ruined so many good pairs of pants over the last year or so it's ridiculous. When I first started dressing myself, it was in the early/mid-90s, and big, baggy pants slung low were all the rage, and they made the pants in that style. When I got fat, fashion became necessity.

Then, I got back in shape, and by then the style of pant had changed, but the way I wore them didn't. I pretty much ruined all my "fat guy" casual pants in a matter of months by cinching them with a belt and dragging them along while I walked.

Now, the fashion for casual pants for guys is to have skinny legs and wear them on the hips. When I get casual pants big enough to fit my thighs, I instinctively wear them slung a little too low, and they get dragged along the ground, get stained, and tear, and I have to throw them out. I noticed I had ruined a perfectly good pair of cargo pants just yesterday.

I find myself, somewhat agast, having to actually wear pants on my waist now. I feel like an old man. But otherwise, the pants get ruined! It's not a problem at work, I'm supposed to be clean-cut at work. But it's not my style out of work, and I've got to find some other solution.

Ah, the silly trials and tribulations we worry about!

Get them hemmed. Its cheap and will keep you from looking like a mess. I am short so I get all of my new pants hemmed. Who is going to make a 36 like 28? Although if they made pants that ran a little bigger in the theigh section that'd rock cause I guess the new thing is to have super skinny legs and considering my calves are the size of most people's theighs I have to rock 36's that are lose at the waist until I can find 34's that will fit right.
