I live with a cisguy who's the same itty bitty size as me (I'm 5'1" and 120 pounds-- he's maybe an inch taller and a few pounds lighter), so we can share pretty much all our clothes... except gosh darn pants, because my hips are too wide! I usually end up just buying pants that are too big for me so I can fit them around my hips/waist, and then I end up with holes all over the bottom of my pants, because I'm too lazy/lack the sewing skills to hem them. Womp womp.

I get them hemmed when I can afford it. When I can't, I wear them too long.

I have never had the problem. I'm not a tall guy by any means. 5'8.. but I have always been able to find pants that fit me at about any store. I'm usually a 30-32 length.. and even when I was at my biggest (40 I believe), I could always find a 32 length. Now I'm around 34x32 which is easily found.

Try and get them tailored when you can afford them, or find out how to do them properly yourself.. youtube has a lot of good videos showing easy ways to do it so it doesn't look like they have been modified at all (ie, doesn't make you look boxy and gives shape to the pants). Nothing looks worse than improperly fitting pants. They can make or break your entire look.

I feel like I just got really lucky. I've never really had a problem with pants. Well, once I grew a little (around 14). I'm usually a 31x30 and its perfect. Sometimes they're a little long when I'm barefoot but with shoes on I've never had a problem...

I don't have a length problem, but even 30" waist pants and shorts are huge on me sometimes, depending on the brand.  I try to avoid wearing boys' clothes but they fit me the best.

Tried some pants on the other night. Turns out 32x30 fits just fine and is a pretty common size. Although truthfully 31x30 would probably be the best fit, but I've never seen that size around, so I just wears 32's.

If you're in the US (or if they have them around the world) have you tried JC Penny's? I wear 31x30s all the time and that's generally where I get all of my clothes

Old Navy do all those in-between sizes like 29, 31, etc.  Dunno what it is about Old Navy clothes but they work wonders on me.  I have shorts, cargo pants and chinos from there and they just fit fantastic somehow.  Shirts, not so much but pants, that's my place it seems! 

Anyone else found that?  Like there's one store that just seems to have clothes that work on you best.  For me that's the store that let's me wear pants that aren't baggy as hell in the waist to fit the hips, yet still helping with a straighter shape.

Anyone having issues with finding pants, as much as this suggestion sickens me as a typical shop hating lad, shop around for pants and see if you can find your store.

The closest JCPenny to me is in the further away mall, so I haven't gotten to check them out yet, but they are definitely one of the places that I wanted to look into. Guess that's just another reason to make a trip to the good mall. (Not to sound girly about shopping, but c'mon, our mall doesn't even have a food court anymore!)
I've always hated Old Navy, and they just took down the one by me anyway.

I want a pair of plain black punk-style shorts, but I have the hardest time finding anything even close to my size at my Hot Topic. :/ They carry 28's, and then rarely anything under a 34. =_= I swear it's just to spite me.

I do need to find a good store to do all my pant shopping. Right now I usually just go to Ross' and see what they have. Of course, then you also end up buying cheaply made clothes for slightly cheaper than decent clothes. I bought two pairs of shorts there a month or so ago and I already tore an unfixable hole in the one pair. I went shirt shopping at Kohl's the other week, but didn't even try on their pants (all their shirts were disappointing, so I got discouraged and stopped trying stuff on), but they seem like they might have some good stuff. I guess I'll have to go back and see.

So long as they are not too short or too tight, I don't really care.  My main requirement be that the waist sit at my belly button.  I'm currently a big guy & don't care for my gut hanging out.  (Which is funny to *me*, because all of my sisters have a similar gut and they prefer it hang over their waist bands!)
