Jack Archer’s Jetsetter Pants are not only versatile and stylish with their slim cut and easy-to-pair colorways, they also repel liquids, like rain or spilled coffee. With a peachy soft stretch PPT twill, they’re designed to stay wrinkle-free and retain their shape, even after a long flight or commute. The Jetsetters are also stain-repellant and anti-odor, so you can get a few wears out of them before they’ll need a wash—which is super helpful if you’re on the road.

Public Rec’s All Day Every Day Pant are like a mix between sweatpants and khakis: the nylon-spandex blend fabric is stretchy with a classic drape while the elasticized waist and hidden drawstring ensure nothing feels too fussy. The easy fit also gives thighs and glutes plenty of room to move and the slightly tapered leg makes these pants just dressy enough for the office.

Coastal California-based Vuori strikes the right balance between laidback and pulled-together with its activewear and we keep coming back to the Meta Pant for its good looks and versatility. You can wear these technical pants everywhere from a hike to a business meeting, and the 4-way stretch fabric will hold up and maintain its shape. They also have anti-odor and UPF protection built in, to keep you fresh when you’re on the move.

Best Casual Joggers For Men

If joggers are more your style, Mack Weldon’s version are worth considering. These sweats are a sophisticated upgrade from your basic joggers: the relaxed (but not baggy) fit has some room for movement, the drawcord allows for easy adjusting, plus the micro-brushed, slightly stretchy French terry fabric stays soft when you’re running errands or lounging. Also nice: The extra pockets on the back and side leg are a convenient detail not found in your typical sweatpants.

Best Casual Jeans For Men

Duer’s jeans are more comfortable than your average denim. They may have a classic look—with 5-pocket styling and a zipper fly—but the added stretch, antimicrobial treatment and performance fibers make these great for movement and flexibility. We like the athletic straight cut since it works for both muscular and lean body types, but this pair is also available in slim and relaxed fits.

Best Casual Dress Pants For Men

Bonobos is known for their stylish, secretly comfortable workwear and the Stretch Weekday Warriors top our list for a solid dress pant. The customization options are seemingly endless: they’re available in 20 colors, 18 waist sizes, five inseams and six cuts like athletic, tailored or straight. Unlike typical dress pants that require upkeep and dry cleaning, this pair is machine-washable, dryer-safe and wrinkle-resistant.

Best Casual Chino Pants For Men

If you’re a fan of chinos but the classic styling is a bit too traditional for you, Everlane’s Easy Pant is a comfortable alternative. The organic cotton twill is lightweight and soft, and the added touch of stretch makes these easy to move in. The easy-fitting straight leg that can be worn long or cuffed for an ankle-baring cropped look in warmer weather.

Best Casual Cargo Pants For Men

Avaible in six neutrals and a camo print, the Slim Lived-In Cargos are a versatile option that can be worn in different ways thanks to some adjustable design details. The fit can be loosened or tightened by moving the waistband tab, and the ankle can be rolled, worn long or cinched for a jogger-inspired look. The leg has a slimmer cut than other cargo styles we found, giving these pants a slightly more polished effect. The flex fabric is garment-washed for added softness, too.
