re: Looking for a new style of pants for everyday wear

Levi's

541 (Athletic cut) Has room in the thighs for comfort but has a modern taper so that you dont feel like you're wearing bell bottoms

OR

517

Standard, modern fitting boot cut. Little less room but it's more of a straight look which will make you look taller.

You can get either in a khaki color too. Kohls typically has the best sale if you have on in your area
