Must Own Pants That Aren't Jeans

Shopping can be an anxious time for someone who has only ever owned a pair of jeans. With so many different trousers, what should you buy?

Chinos :  The name derives from the Spanish word for “Chinese.” It was in fact due to the trousers being made in China during the Spanish – American war.

Made from twill, this material is light weight and a form of trousers that is tapered from the legs down making them perfect for everyone. They are versatile trousers that is a step above jeans in terms of formality.

Joggers: The perfect marriage between comfort and fashion. While primarily used for leisure athletic wear, joggers are now mainstream and can be worn out and about. Joggers tend to be lighter in weight. With the tapered ankles, it allows for a fresher and put together fit than just baggy sweats. Available in multiple colors, you can dress up or down, and definitely lounge around your living room or dash out to catch a quick bite with friends.

Cargo: Not a fan of the tapered look? This is where Cargos come in. These loosely cut trousers designed for “combat” and the original purpose as military wear is great for outdoor activities and utility needs. Need to a place to hold that iPhone 13 Max Pro and a Hydro flask, cargos can do that. Maybe not a 64-ounce Hydro flask but some can.
