Work Pants
Now’s the perfect time for some work pants. And by “work pant” we're not talking about refined trousers fit for the office. We're talking about workwear—pants specifically built for craftsmen and other hard workers who need apparel to stand up to anything. Right now, when the air has a biting chill, the thicker fabric and double-layered kneed patches offer protection and some extra heft that comes in handy.
Plus, these pants have gotten more and more popular with the menswear crowd since they strike the perfect balance between rugged durability and everyday versatility. They look as good with a slouchy hoodie and sneakers as they do with a nice cardigan and some boots. Thankfully, you can find such functional pants on offer from a slew of brands now—from traditional worker labels (think Dickies and Stan Ray) to designer brands (check out this twisted pair from JW Anderson). We tried on a bunch to find the best ones to suit any guy's taste and budget.
