Are Pull-On Pants Better As You Get Older? / myLot

I'm 60 now and I find myself dressing like my Grandma used to. Okay, not that bad, but I do find myself choosing stylish pull-on pants as opposed to jeans with zippers and pants with belt loops. It's just easier. And they have more "give" and "stretch" to them. They're more "forgiving." Do you prefer pants that zip and button or pants that you simply pull up and pull on?

I have dextarity issues due to the tbi I recived as a child, so I find pants and shorts that pull on and off easier. And, now a days you can get some that look pretty good and not like grandma.

I wear both, but I do prefer the pull on types. I feel like the button/zipper stuff cuts off my circulation if I wear them too long

Comfort is key. I still wear jeans sometimes, but pull-on pants are just so much easier and more forgiving. No shame in choosing what feels good!

I have never really worn pull on pants. 99.9% of the time it's a pair of jeans with a belt. Even when I "dress up," it's usually a pair of "dress jeans."

I wear some of those blue jean identical pull on sometimes. Yesterday I wore regular button zipper jeans though.

I have both pull-on pants and trousers with zippers. Depends on what occasion I use them. For casual days, I wear pull-on pants.

younger people wear those too so we do not need to feel old. It is comfortable and less hassle to wear

The only pull on pants I own are pajama pants, leggings, and a pair of sweatpants. If I am home, I will wear them. I prefer pants with a zipper and a waistband, if I am in public.
