Men over 45, what kind of pants do you wear?

I want to hear response from Brits, since "pants" means underwear in Britspeak.

Levi. Jeans or cords in winter. I'm old and don't need to think about work .

Slim fit chinos mostly. I like Uniqlo.

No pants.

My go-to are Hilfiger khakis. Not the stretchy fabric, but the cotton ones.

I wear Lucky Brand jeans, regular ones. They fit me best of the hundreds I have tried over the years.

Gap jeans, chinos, and golf pants from China.

Dickies

Just my caftan!

I haven't worn pants with a belt in almost 10 years.

Capri pants of course!

I mostly wear shorts year round .Im in Florida . During cold weather I wear khakis mostly. I only have like 2 pairs of jeans now , I refuse to pay so much for thin shitty material that doesnt last .

Will anyone answer “elastic”?

502 Levi's and Dockers Khakis all from JC Penny also some Wrangler cargo pants

Smell Mr. Sansabelt at r9.

LL Bean khakis

Parachute

No Sansabelt. I'm not 90.

I wear shorts and activewear pants.

Still in Levi 501s, "normal" khakis 31 x 32 and cuffed, Land's End, Bean or Orvis. Winter corduroys. Also, because the fit, Everlast sweats, L. Sometimes XL. No guy needs anything else.

Hot pants

Levi is great and a heritage American brand. I'm all for it.

Brooks Brothers dress pants for work. Lucky Brand jeans for casual.

I work remotely in the South. Shorts or sweatpants, mostly.

Jeans, usually black as it doesnt show dirt/ oil/ grease so bad. In summer cargo pants, all in camo for much the same reasons as the black jeans. Also have some lycra bike pants for cycling, two long pairs for winter and about four for the rest of the year as I do a lot of cycling.

Ditto on black jeans I used to like 501s, but now they are digging on my waistline. I do have one black pair which has grown along with my waist, so it's one of my go-tos. . Now I go for 501 STR, which stands for Slim Taper - That style is button fly, but it has a little elastic in the waist, so it doesn't dig. I also like Levi 514 - they are zipper fly straight leg jeans.

Those are my winter wear. In summer, I wear shorts. Some elastic in the waist is a requirement. I'm currently enamored of a particular brand of golf shorts with a shark on the waist band. I liked the fit so well, I went back to buy a second pair. I think they're called the Greg Norman collection.

I'm not a massive person - but my waist used to be 31-32 and now it's more like 33-34. I just don't enjoy the feeling of a pair of pants pressing hard on my waist, so elastic is my friend in my decrepitude.

I've never really worn jeans. Since high school I have worn khakis in a variety of colors (or is khaki a color?).

Elastic waist all the way, baby!

I'm constantly on the look out for cute elastic waist pants that don't look like overt athletic wear or pajamas or sweats. It isn't easy but when I find cute ones that fit great and look good, I usually buy more than one pair.

Jeans, daytime, most of the year. I think those with less than 98% natural fiber look too artificially “clingy,” so either Levi’s Original 501s or APC New Standard.

Similar thought for Khakis (for slightly nicer than casual dinners out).

For years Brooks Brothers made the best. Unfortunately, the company got sold a few years back. The new owners have cheapened their fabrics, both by making them extra lightweight and filling them with fucking elastic. Would just as soon wear polyester. Fortunately, I haven’t changed shape too much, so with some care, a good tailor and a great dry cleaner I’ve filled the void while searching for a replacement - suggested brands welcome, OP.

Light wool slacks (Sand or Sandro) for dressier events.

I can't imagine still wearing jeans once I'm over 45.

Bit they sure don't make them like they used to. I still have 501s from the 80s that look and wear great but ones I've bought in the past 10 years have already worn out -- usually ripping in the crotch for some reason.

Once you are, R28, your imagination will get better.

I’ve had good luck with A.P.C. For denim and G-star non-cargo for pants.

I’ve added Kith and VisVim for Winter and I’ve always got James Perse if nothing else.

Wrangler jeans. Was always 501s and 505s but Wrangler made my flat ass look better so i changed. But it's time to change back because the Wranglers are all boot cut (I used to wear boots) and they're too baggy wide from the knees down.

Have no idea what I'll switch to. Need a type of straight leg WITHOUT stretch. Not skinny jeans, but trimmer than plain straight leg stove pipe.

Any suggestions?

I’m 43 & a 1/2, do I have to wait 18 months to post?
