pants (american usage)

i feel like kind of a moron; i need more pants because all i ever wear are jeans and corduroys but i can't even figure out what other kinds of pants men wear besides khakis, which i associate with lame dads, and slacks, which i think of being for business settings. what kind of casual pants do sophisticated classy men like myself wear?

ps pants shopping is the bane of my existence

if you can't tell i'm having my biannual style crisis

cotton pants of a different color than khaki! black, grey, blue, whatever

:)

ime khakis are pretty OK provided that you get ones that fit well

also dude wear slacks whenever you want, be a rebel, ur in a band

yeah agreed on both statements. khakis and slacks are very outfit-dependant, but both can be great

Nicer corduroys with dress pant styling instead of jean styling or whatev? Could be a good cross-over item. Also, wool, wool, wool, wool. Real men's trousers are made of wool.

have u heard of.... garanimals

ok

i shaved and now i feel a little better about myself

i have a pants crisis too, i wear nothing but jeans and haven't been able to find cool pants that work with my shirts.

u need some dark gray cotton pants, not too baggy or too tight, that kind of bunch up near the ankle.

maybe?

1. first you need to banish the word "slacks" from your vocab

2. then go buy some summer-weight wool pants that fit you well, they should be snug but not uncomfortable; pay a dude to alter the length so they fall on your shoes just right

3. PROFIT

i just saw n/a at the grocery store and he looked cleaner and more stylish than i did

are you typically very clean and stylish?

slightly above average, i'd say

was n/a wearing a denim bathrobe, y/n?

first of all, just say we were at TRADER JOE'S

secondly i was wearing corduroys and a hoodie so i don't know how stylish i could have been. i am wearing my favorite tshirt which is just plain navy blue but it was under my hoodie; however, it may have embued me with some confidence which may have made me seem more stylish. in any case, thanks for your kind words

Mr. Que just bought DockersTM that don't look as one might expect DockersTM to look.

I feel the same problem: I want black or dark grey pants that are a) not jeans, corduroys, or khakis, and b) not 'nice pants', as in 'I'm dressing up' pants, as in, 'I'm on my way to a funeral and/or an office where I am the doctor'.

i don't really advocate black pants w/ out some sort of jacket, especially if the pants are on the shiny side, because I generally think they make one look like a waiter. dark grey pants are good. if you are under 30 you may still be able to rock dickies, if that's yr thing. and of course cords are great.

J. Crew makes slim chinos/khakis that aren't very dad-ish.

Yeah, I would suggest J Crew.
