Let's talk pants

We got threads on shoes, watches, shirts, undershirts, but no pants. We walking around half-naked? I'm not talking about jeans here...but rather wool dress pants and maybe chinos.
I think pants are among the hardest things to get totally on-point. Especially when it comes to the taper around the ankle.
What are you favorite brands?

When it comes to style and clothes, pants is the hardest thing to get right. I usually just wear jeans with everything. I usually get Levis because thats all ive known since I was a kid and didnt really know any better.
I get black levi pants
and regular levi jeans
My style in pants needs work, this is really all I buy. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I think a lot depends on your legs. If you have huge quads you have to wear different pants than someone with thinner legs. For every-day jeans I wear Levi's 511 (from Levi's store, not from a mall; they are different). For dressier jeans, I wear Joe's Jeans. Both in dark blue.

Incotex and Mabitex for high end trousers.
Everyday use, mall brand pants like Banana Republic or J.Crew.
Going out? Express or something trendy and cheap

I've always thought that comments about fit are weird because everyone has a different body.
And I'm pretty sure the op discussion is not about jeans.

^^^ None of those links work, and yes, this is specifically NOT about jeans. This is formal/business-casual pants.

Can anyone recommend jeans that fit a muscular/athletic build? I find that most jeans are either cut too slim for my quads/ass or are very loose all around and look like shit.

I have some questions. I say jeans but it can be any type of pants, but I am trying to minimize the "it depends" answer.
How much do you usually spend on a pair of jeans?
How long do your jeans last?

I wear RW & Co. dress pants.
My legs are fairly long so nothing under a 33 inseam will be long enough.
They fit nicely and are fairly high quality.

I really have gotten into Gustin jeans. They're crowd sourced, so you get the higher end denim for less. The only problem is the wait!

People will probly rip on me but I got some
Supposedly "100 % Italian wool" slacks from Kirkland- yeah costco, and had them tailored. They look legit for the price and by the time a chick finds out they're from costco you're already where you want to be

Boot Cuts? really? You will look 'ancient' if you wear those these days. (might be ok in suburban areas)
I don't think I can wear those true religion, 7 for all mankind, G-star raw jeans anymore.
Anyways, it really depends on where you are.
The current trend I say, is 'Guys' pants are getting tighter while cell phones are getting bigger'
I was wearing straight pants in LA. Around those fashionable people, my pants felt too Baggy. So I grabbed few Slim pants.
I say try to wear something that's bit slimmer than you used to wear.
Dockers D1 is good. I really like pants from Bar III from Macys. Slim fit from express is not bad either.

Hey there,
As I'm a tall (6"2) but thin (70kg / that would make it 150 pounds) guy with big feet (47 / 12), when I go for jean's, I always go for bootcut, and Levi's 512 / 527 in particular.
They might make you look a little old fashioned, though it's the perfect cut, since it falls perfectly on the shoes and doesn't make you swim in your pants at the level of quads.
Someone mentionned the price of pants, I wish I was in the US where Levi's jeans cost about half of the price they cost in France (here it's about 100-110$ when no sales)

Pants:
banana republic slim cut
Ralph Lauren
Dockers alpha
Jeans:
Naked and famous weird guy fit
APC standards
Levi's 501 stf to wear around at work
I usually go for raw dry denim and fade out the jeans with time. But I wear more pants then jeans honestly. I'll probably only stock 2 pairs of jeans at any given time.
