I bought a pair of Uniqlo chinos a good few years ago, they were a mix of Cotton (75%), Rayon (22%) and Spandex (3%). They're soft, super comfortable, and have been my go-tos forever. They fit great too, particularly as a shorter, skinnier guy with little twig legs.

Unfortunately, my ass area tore them apart so I ordered some new ones and...they're kind of awful? The new chinos are very denim-y, they look and feel like jeans, they're "skinny fit" but they swallow my legs entirely so now I look like I'm walking in my dads pants.

I buy stuff from Uniqlo all the time but this is the first I've genuinely been unhappy with a purchase. What gives?

I was thinking of ordering these:

However, I'm not sure how'd they fit on me. I have a very standard - not lanky, but not big - build. 5'7, 140 if that helps a bit more.

Thanks for any advice!
