This topic has come up a bunch on the WAYT thread, and I figure it needs its own home.
This is a place to discuss finding pants when you have big thighs because of either natural anatomy or working out!
It can be challenging, to say the least. The key challenge is finding a pant with a higher rise, a larger thigh, but isn't cut like a painful dad-mowing-the-lawn khaki pant.
There's also different approaches to finding pants when you have big thighs: focusing on a bigger pant fit that looks clean because of a crease, looking for pants with pleats to give you extra room, looking for pants in stretch fabrics.
I have 27" thighs and wear a size 34-38 depending on the pant.
Some brands I've found that work well with more casual pants:
Wings + Horns: Their Tokyo fit is designed with larger thighs, a higher rise, but a heavy taper.
Outlier: Large thighs with great stretch fabric. Variety of cuts with different levels of taper.
Brands I wish I could wear but have never worked:
Uniqlo: Cheap, ubiquitous, low rise.
Engineered Garments: Why are you so narrow in the thigh?
There's also always the option for going MTM. Luxire is probably the best brand because they directly duplicate your measurements, vs. fitting them into a pre-existing block pattern.
For tailored pants, I generally end up sizing up, and either leave a loose waist and wearing with braces, or getting the waist taken in.
Anyway, post your favorite brands, examples of what you think looks good, etc.
