re: What casual dress pants do you wear?

Are we talking chinos or actual slacks?

Closer to chinos than slacks. I work in a lab, so at any point the pants could be ruined from a chemical and I don't want to spend $30+ on a pair. I usually buy from the Van Heusen outlet which is ~$20/pair. I have waist 34 from them which is a bit big, but the thighs are starting to get tight.

I recently bought a pair of Ralph Lauren slacks for a dressier event that were discounted to $27 and they are great. Nice looking and an excellent fit. I will definitely try to find some more of that style since most of my pants are too big in the waist since losing fat last year.
