7 Pants to Help You Embrace Your Inner Fat Man This Thanksgiving

What looks like a trouser but feels like a sweatpant? These.

November 16, 2018 9:00 am EST

What a woeful sartorial catch 22 is Thanksgiving: while decorum dictates that we must dress respectable-like, custom ensures that we will consume enough [insert favorite fixing here] to strain the seams of said respectable-like clothing.

And with all due respect to Thanksgiving GOAT Joey Tribbiani, we fear that abandoning all sense of civility in favor of pure, glutton-enabling utilitarianism is not the solution. Or rather, not one that will be looked upon favorably by our more persnickety loved ones, damn their eyes.

But never fear — your friends at InsideHook are firm believers in subverting the system whenever possible, and thus bring you a collection of pants that may appear sartorially above-board (see: actual button at the waist), but secretly boast enough elastic brio to accommodate third-plate aspirations.

Now go forth and gorge in comfort.
