We get asked the question all the time, “If I could only buy one pair of pants, what would it be?”. The answer, in most cases generally will turn to the trusty gray pant. Consider this the swiss army knife of your wardrobe. Like a trusty sidekick, the gray pant will never let you down.
The styling of them are, of course, up to you. The more current style right now is for them flat fronted and a little slimmer fitting through the legs. This doesn’t look right on everyone (including me), so take a look at all the styles available and choose the most flattering for you. These pants from Austin Reed will help you on the way from not so flattering to oh so flattering.
Even more than a blue blazer, the gray or charcoal pant is a staple in the well dressed man’s arsenal. Most situations will not require a blazer or coat, but will still require you to be looking respectable. Gray pants are a great way to anchor many a different outfit.
Depending on the season or the climate where you live, a wool pair might be more appropriate on the cooler days. A much lighter fabric should be your choice on the warmer days to help you stay cool.
Whatever the style or weight of the pant you choose, take comfort in the knowledge that choosing a gray pant will always keep you looking like the well dressed man you are.
