Not quite what I expected
I took a bit of a risk with these, because I usually have a more western aesthetic, but wanted to go for a different look for a wedding. It's possible this looks better on a super lean person. I'm a 5'7" and 170lbs masculine afab person who lifts weights and has a slightly thicker physique overall. I thought overall it looked pretty decent at some angles and quite weird in others. I would recommend if you are a thicker person, be prepared for it not to look like the photos. I think these would look way better if I was about 15-20lbs leaner and got a smaller size. That one is on me for thinking I could pull these off all the way.
My biggest issue with these pants is the situation for doing them up and undoing them. You need to undo both notched attachments on the left and right sides which can be a little tricky but totally doable, do your business, and then do them back up, and the difficulty of doing so is what inspired me to write this review (I almost never write reviews). It's hard to explain, but you have to thread the left mini belt thing, which is very soft and limp, through a very narrow slot, then thread it through the buckle, get the prong through the punch hole, and do the other side perfectly semi-simultaneously or it keeps coming undone and you have to start over. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that at this wedding, where I was drinking and using the restroom a lot, I was the cause of major bathroom line lags because it would take me 5-8 minutes each time…
