Probably not a good one. But you can make bamboo out of cake.

I mean, lately we've seen that anything can be cake. So it could look very much like bamboo. But be a cake. Opposite of "the cake is a lie"—the bamboo is a lie!

I finally found some almost-right sweatpants at Old Navy. Except they're like...not quite Capri? But a little short. "Ankle length" but that means they slip a couple inches up. Not a problem now, but will be in a few months! So if anyone can recommend some old school style sweatpants with pockets, would love.

meara - forget are you specifically wanting elastic at the leg bottom or are the banded cuffs ok?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is there a difference between joggers and sweatpants? I thought "joggers" was just the new word for "sweatpants," like "sweatpants" was too 70s or something.

Teppy, is that a new tagline, or have I not been paying attention?

It is new-ish. Last week, maybe?

Tep, google is telling me (actually, justsweatshirts.com is telling me by way of google, it appears to be a FAQ) that joggers are lighter weight than sweatpants

Now tagless for your comfort.

I work in the children's department of a library. THREE YEAR OLDS KEEP THEIR MASKS ON.

I have several pairs of joggers. Lighter than sweatpants, which are usually heavy fleece. My joggers are more modal material or thin jersey knit. Hella comfy for Second Summer.

Joggers are basically sweatpants, but I find a lot of them are (a) very thin material (I don't need heavy sweats, but want basic) and (b) often have that banded ankle and are short. I want "comfy lounge around the house and cover my ankles but can also run outside with the dog and have my phone in my pocket" pants (need bottom to be elastic somehow, so I don't get them wet this winter) (the banded ankle is not a dealbreaker, but not really what I was hoping for—I feel like we all used to have a few pairs of these with a college or sports team on them??)
