NFT: Weekday/Work Pants

jgambrosio : 12/1/2016 9:44 pm

So it seems like there's a monthly thread on here about where to buy shirts for work, but never pants. I don't have to wear a suit to work, just business casual, usually button down and slacks, sometimes a chino/khaki type pant. Brooks Brothers tends to be a pit pricey on pants in my opinion and a bit outdated. Not a big fan of Jos A Bank fit or material. Where do you get nice work pants and not spend a fortune?

"Producer" style fits me well. Wearing them for years

I still like the Brooks

Brothers style, and I don't think it's outdated I prefer the phrase classic and I don't think it will ever go out of style for the most part and their work pants last a long time.

Their classic trousers are right now 2 for $229

the month of January I think Brooks Brothers has their annual sale and maybe it gets even less expensive.

I usually refresh my work wardrobe in January.

I love Gustin chinos

The downside is that you have to wait 2-3 months to get them

I got awesome Calvin Klein pants for $10 two months ago, they fit perfect. Can't find exactly what's wrong with them
To end up $10 after being msrp at $120

Just wear cargo shorts

Way more functional.

go to Brooks Brothers and buy a few pairs of Gaberdine slacks

and you're set. they will all go with a sportscoat when needed. the expense is worth the quality and they will last forever

I'm in a similar setting

Rarely have to even wear a tie. I like Banana Republic's pants a lot. They run about $70/pair at regular price but you can catch them on sale throughout the year.

Pleated, denim cargo shorts are the way to go.

So far into the thread, and no one has recommended jorts?
