Jeans
A solid pair of jeans can easily last for years if you maintain them well. Owning a well-fitting pair is an absolute must-have in your wardrobe. They pair well with most climates and casual looks.
LBB's Pick: We picked these ankle length regular fit jeans that go well with t-shirts, button downs and polo shirts as well.
Occasion: Casual and Travel
Chinos
A step up from your trusty pair of jeans, chinos are versatile and can be worn with a polo shirt for casual Fridays at work, or with t-shirts and oxford shirts as well. While they come in a variety of fabrics, choose a cotton pair that pairs well with the summer heat.
LBB's Pick: We found these Solid Green Chinos by Woodland. The cotton and spandex blend fabric offers good comfort through the day.
Occasion: Formal and Party
Joggers
Joggers are perfect when you're looking to dress down and stay comfortable in an informal setting. An upgrade from traditional sweatpants, they offer a better fit and look, thanks to the tapered silhouette.
LBB's Pick: We picked these Solid Oversized Fit Elastic Cuff Joggers by Styli that are roomy and will keep you comfy. We like that they're grey, which in the world of Joggers is considered elite (don't ask us why, we don't make the rules.)
Occasion: Casual, Travel, and Lounging
Dress Pants
Dress pants pair well with a casual blazer for an informal look, especially if you're transitioning from an office to a night out with minimal effort. Pair them with a jacket for your meetings and a crisp button-down for parties afterward.
LBB's Pick: We found this great pair of dress pants that have a structured silhouette and go well with loafers and a button down.
Occasion: Formal, Party, and Travel
Linen Pants
Linen Pants are one of the best types of pants for men, especially for the summers, when you're out and about and don't want to deal with the heat while still looking sharp. Just pair them with a casual flannel shirt, and you're ready to head out.
LBB's Pick: We found this chic pair from Andamen that works supremely well with a white cotton button down. While we picked blue, they also come in a host of other colours.
Occasion: Formal, casual, travel
Lounge Pants
Lounge pants are perfect for when you're chilling at home and prefer wearing pants to shorts. We like that they come in a host of funky, playful patterns too.
LBB's Pick: These Mint Green Cotton Lounge Pants by Urban Scottish are great for lounging at home. Just pair them with a white t-shirt, and you're ready for a day of binge-watching at home.
Occasion: Travel, Casual, and Leisure
Khaki Pants
A good pair of Khaki Pants are a staple in your wardrobe. They go with most colours and occasions, and are super comfy once you choose the right fabric. Pick them for a relaxed look.
LBB's Pick: We found these comfy Khaki Trousers by Cantabil. They're mid-rise and come in cotton, which will keep you comfy for long hours.
Occasion: Formal, Party, Ethnic
Corduroy Pants
We love that the stretch factor of Corduroy Pants is forgiving, and keeps you comfy despite anything. We recommend wearing them during the slightly colder months, since the fabric provides a fair amount of insulation.
LBB's Pick: We found this relaxed pair from Dash and Dot in Khaki that you can wear as a co-ord, or switch out the shirt for something more contrasting. Pick a black corduroy set if you don't want the texture to show evidently.
Occasion: Party, Formal, Casual, Travel
Cargo Pants
Cargo Pants have stood the test of time over the years for their comfort and utility factor. And now they're back bigger than ever, seen on pretty much everybody. Throw on a pair when you're exploring the outdoors, or stepping out for a movie.

Cropped Pants
Looking to flaunt your sneaker collection? Choose a pair of cropped pants that are trendy, and chic. Choose pleated trousers so they're slightly roomier than your average pair.
LBB's Pick: These pleated cropped trousers by Genes Lecoanet Hemant come in Royal Blue and Pink, great for trendsetters.
Occasion: Casual and Party
Printed Pants
If you gravitate towards plain shirts and want to bring some drama through your pants, then a pair of printed pants are a must in your wardrobe. Great especially for vacations, these are perfect to add more shine and more style in your wardrobe.
