In the ever-changing casualization of formal dress norms, a good pair of tailored men’s pants has been overshadowed by trousers, jeans, and the more appealing wide-legged pant. There are numerous types of pants available, ranging from chinos to tracksuit bottoms, that suit a variety of events and provide a refreshing break from typical denim. You need to know what pants to wear and how to style them whether you’re going to the office or on a first date. The following are some of the most popular trouser designs to consider for your closet.
Nudie Steady Eddie II Jean
If you’re undecided about what to wear, consider NUDIE JEANS Nudie Steady Eddie II Jean. These Steady Eddie II jeans are made completely of organic cotton and are made from 13.5oz Kaihara selvage denim that Nudie has been working with since 2001. They’re made in Italy, and the brand suggests waiting at least six months before washing them, during which time the denim will have developed a love-worn patina that’s unique to you.
Meta Pants
Try the Meta Pant if you’re looking for a pair of office-appropriate men’s pants. With a 32″ inseam and a better technical, anti-odor stretch fabric, the Meta is our take on the classic 5-pocket silhouette. The Meta is built for adventure and mobility, but it’s also beautiful enough to wear to the office or out to dinner. The detail and style give formalism and luxury.
Slim Canvas Joggers
Bring back the classics in a super suave pair of cords like the Slim Canvas Joggers with Gapflex. GapFlex technology provides more flexibility, comfort, and a perfect fit. Each pair is designed to accompany you everywhere you go, to be sturdy enough to perform the job, and to be comfortable enough to wear every day. It’s a great alternative for days when you want to seem put together but don’t want to commit. Wear them with a button-down shirt or a sweatshirt to hide the fastening tie, but if you’re not scared to show it out, combine them with a roll-neck or a simple T-shirt to attain peak luxury.
Men’s Recycled Fleece Tapered Sweatpants
Athleisure isn’t only for Instagram models; it’s a fashionable and comfortable alternative to casual attire. Try on the Men’s Recycled Fleece Tapered Sweatpant, which is the ideal cross between tracksuit bottoms and regular work trousers, allowing you to sit in absolute comfort without feeling like a slob. Wear this look with a longline sweater or T-shirt for a laid-back vibe. Wear an office shirt with white shoes on days when you want to seem snazzy.

What are the most comfortable men’s pants?
Men’s pants with a looser fit, soft material, and an adjustable or elasticated waistline are the most comfortable. Drawstring trousers, joggers, and track pants come to mind.
What is the difference between trousers and chinos?
Any form of men’s pants can be referred to as “trousers.” Many manufacturers, notably in the United States, define ‘trousers’ more strictly, referring to more formal fitted pants.
