The Pant

Worth the Weight

FYI

A nice pair of high-top Chuck Taylors is a great contrast to the dressier fabric of these trousers. Pair them with a chunky cardigan and thermal henley for an easy casual look.

This weekend mark's the official start of fall, so your lightweight chinos won't be cutting it much longer. Consider the wool pant as a heavier alternative to your favorite khakis. Cut slim and available in an array of patterns like herringbone, tweed and houndstooth, they're an easy way to make a dressy transition into cooler weather. We've shopped high and low to round up the season's best.
