If you have to wear khaki’s to work, but you also hate them with a passion, what would be your khaki alternative for the office?

1. Lululemon has some really nice, comfortable pants in khaki colors. Not cheap, but everything I have from them has held up really well.

2. I wear khakis and if jeans aren’t an option get a few pair of wool dress slacks. Costco has them. Or
   You can spend a bit more and get a good pair at a place like Jos A Banks

3. Chinos

4. I used to wear Columbia Sports Flex ROC pants.

5. can you wear tech pants? mack weldon has some. public rec has a decent one. even gap has some.

6. Wear a [kilt](https://www.usakilts.com/kilts-and-packages/kilts.html). Maximum air flow!

7. I have 5 pocket pants. They’re cut like jeans, fit like jeans, but are made from material like to khakis

8. J Crew or Uniqlo chinos or stretch pants.

9. Vuori.

   Meta pant or the Optimist Pant.

   Both are comfortable, stylish, and office appropriate.

10. 100% get golf pants. They look like slacks but stretch and are extremely breathable. I absolutely hate dressing up and these are what I wear.

11. The gap has comfy af chinos. Stretch and everything. I wear athletic fit for my tikk booty

12. Shorts. Ones you’d wear on a boating trip or to a nice reception happening in the spring or summer.

13. Opinions from an enterprise IT guy:

    – straight leg or slim straight, even for big guys

    – clothing with features labeled “tech” does not attract women. Sorry

    – darker colors below – shoes, socks, pants

    – your shoes should not look like shit

    – look around for put-together guys and notice what they wear

14. Tailored wool slacks.

15. Spray paint your jeans tan

16. Green or navy chinos

17. Head over to a outdoor outfitter and get some stretchy hiking pants or check out some tactical pants. If you need khaki color but want comfort either of these options have every option you could dream of.

18. Look at public rec website.

    Stretchy sweatpants, but cut so they look like chinos. 5 pockets, and smooth like butter.

    The only issue is the price point, so see if you can get a discount or grab ’em on a sale.

19. slacks always work for an office

20. Wool slacks
