Pants 101
There are currently two main types of pants on the market you need to own.
Jeans
-Every guy needs at least one high quality pair of jeans in black and blue.
Black jeans look great for going out and dressing up for smart casual events.
Blue jeans are ideal for the everyday look with a plain white tee or a cool button up shirt for a movie date.
A good quality pair of jeans is going to cost you between $120-$250 depending on your brand preference. You can go cheap but you'll have to replace them two-three times as often so why not get something durable and stylish.
Chinos
Chinos are a hybrid between the dress pant and jeans. Made from cotton the chino is able to be worn casual or dressed up for smart casual.
Because of their make Chinos are really comfortable and fit really nicely. The best colours for Chinos are your Taupe/Tan (Earthy) colours and your blue/grays (Neutral).
Fit
The best fit is always going to be a tapered one. Go for 'slim fit' over skinny (that fad died in the early 2000's) Slim fit gives shape to your legs and waist without constricting your movement or looking feminine.
Mens pants are generally measured by the waist size in inches. The average waist size for a male is a 32-34, try and get your exact fit for the best look.
Tip: Always wash your pants inside out. This will prolongue their life and help keep the colour from fading as quickly.
