... or Thai Fisherman's Pants, as they're oft called,
make an extremely cool, & currently chic, addition to your wardrobe.
There is a Japanese version, but they're kinda expensive.
Basic Thai pants only cost around $10-20.
You might be put off by having already seen
hippies wearing them,
but they are extremely comfortable, made from very light, airy materials,
and just perfect for summer homewear.
If you're feeling a bit more adventurous (i.e. you want to go out) & upmarket,
there are linen or hemp versions that come with a strap-on
pouch, although most have at least one pocket anyway.
