Pants

I've decided to make a new pair of garb pants, maybe it's that my old pants are a very unbreathable, rustly synthetic material, or maybe it's just that my cat puked all over them I don't want to clean it. d:
I was wondering if some of you could tell me your favorite pants style and some pro's, and con's of it.
To aid me in my decision.

Sweats / scrubs are el-cheapo from the thrift stores, come in all sorts of colors, weights, and patterns, and can be breathable as well as allow you to wear layers under them in cold weather. I just bought a set for some garb I made up for Dennis and they're legit at $1.50 from the Catholic Thrift Store.

Wrap pants, salwar pants, and hakamas are more complicated, but give you a cool look with maneuverability and breathability depending on material. Depending on your skills and resources, you can pay handsomely for these. Isk and Patchiz have made these kinds of pants before and would be people to talk to.

Skirts FTW.

To keep cool and still use some crappy synthetic fabric, I'd go with the wrap pants. Make 'em out of something that is still lightweight, but cut them big enough and they will flow and move really sweet while giving you good air cirulation. If you make them out of a fabric that doesn't need hemming they are super quick and easy, too. Wear shorts under them, though. Please.

Thanks, this was helpful, though I think I'll avoid wrap pants. No one would enjoy that.
