5 CASUAL Pants Every Man Needs [0:00:00]
Fist up on this list, stretch denim. Now, technically they’re stretched in any type
of jean. But, what I’m talking about here is a denim jean that’s been engineered specifically
with the material in the weave to have a stretch of about 10% or more. The result, the best
fitting jeans that you’re ever going to own.
Now, 20 years ago, a stretch denim was suspect and there are still the purist out there that
say I want my jeans to be a hundred percent cotton. My thought though as a guy that’s
looked at hundreds of styles over the last decade, I have seen huge improvements. And
in my opinion when it comes to casual trousers, I think that every man needs to own a pair
of stretch denim. In today’s video, gents, the five styles
of pants that every man needs to own. [Music]
Now, in general, for a good looking stretch denim, you do want to make sure there’s
a good amount of cotton. This one has about 70% cotton, 28% is going to be Coolmax all
season polyester. That’s going to allow wicking and it’s also going to make the
trousers more durable. And the remaining 2% of the material makeup
is Lycra. That is the Spandex. That is going to give it its stretch and as you can note,
you don’t need a whole lot of that in there to allow the material to have the stretch
it needs to be incredibly comfortable. The next casual pant style I think every man
should own, a modern pair of sweatpants. And, no, gents, I’m not talking about your grandpa’s
sweatpants. Those loose formless, yeah, things that you could sometimes work out in, but
they got in the way? No, the pants I’m talking about look good.
They’ve got a really nice modern clean silhouette. They’ve got a mid rise with a relaxed or
a slim fit with a really nice tapered down to the ankles.
So, then why am I calling them modern sweatpants? Because of the material. Specifically with
the materials, we’re talking about tensile fibers. This is going to be breathable. It’s
going to have plenty of stretch. It’s just going to be incredibly comfortable.
And me, personally, my favorite part about these modern sweatpants, you can actually
dress them up. And I’ll be honest, they’ll be pushing it to wear this with a sports jacket.
It can be pulled off though and I think that with a casual button down, right at home just
a good looking or even you can wear this into work and still be fine.
That being said, that pair you dressed up with the dress shoes and sports jacket, you
can actually dress down with a pair of sneakers and white t-shirt. [sound effect]
Yes, gentlemen, I now ride a bike to work. The reason is my son stole my truck. That
being said, riding a bike to work, it doesn’t come without its issues. And to be specific,
one of them is keeping your pants clean on wet days like today. And that, gents, is why
I love today’s sponsor, DUER. Now, it’s funny as Gary the founder of DUER
had the exact same problem. He was commuting on his bike and he wanted to be able to go
from his bike directly to the boardroom and not have to change his pants. Initially, he
just wanted to create a pair of jeans that were technical, stylish, and incredibly comfortable.
Now, as I mentioned earlier stretch in your jeans is a great thing, they got stretch in
all of their trousers. And in fact, they’ve got five times the stretch of traditional
denim. And having worn this now for the last couple
of weeks, I have to say I absolutely love the comfort and the feel. And I love how they
actually after washing them multiple times, they always go back to their original shape.
And let’s talk about innovation and comfort. Perhaps my favorite part is this gusset that
they’ve got right in the crotch area. In layman’s terms, guys, it makes it incredibly
comfortable for your special area. Seriously, mixed with the stretch fabric, these are incredibly
comfortable and you have plenty of room down there.
That being said, they also nailed it on the style, the attention to details. These look
really good. It’s not like it looks like you’ve got tons of room. The fit is spot
on, but they are incredibly comfortable. Seriously, you could go do squats, you can work out in
this denim. And as I mentioned, I now ride my bike and
what I love about DUER pants, they’re splash-resistant. The stains come out of them incredibly easy.
They are easy to wash and maintain. So, yeah, for you bike riders, this brand is perfect
for your needs. And DUER is a lot more than just denim. They’ve
also got those no-sweat pants a.k.a. those modern sweatpants I was talking about. In
addition, they’ve got joggers, any type of pants you’re looking for, they’ve got
you covered. To include shorts, outerwear, and tops. They’ve got free shipping on orders
over $99, free exchanges and they’re a Canadian-based company.
Gents, to find your perfect pair of pants, go over to DUER. I’m linking to them down
in the description. Absolutely love this company. Make sure to use that link and go check them
out, you’re going to get the best deal on the web by using that link down in the description
of today’s video. Next up, let’s talk joggers. So, you guys
know I’m pretty conservative and I’d say maybe five, seven years ago, I wouldn’t
have touched joggers. But, nowadays, I’m looking at the style and the functionality
of them, makes a lot of sense. And having a pair myself now, I’d say, “You know
what? I, yeah, I think that they work.” Now, if you disagree, you don’t like joggers
or you’re really like me like, finally, Antonio, you’re jumping on the bandwagon.
Let me know in the comments below. I want to hear you guys’ opinion on joggers.
Now, in general this style is defined as a pair of pants that fit closely, going to be
mid rise at the top and going down in the hip in the thigh, they’re going to fit close.
And then, at the ankles, they’re going to have a jogger cuff.
Now, they’ll be made from a wide variety of materials, but most of the time you’re
going to see the majority of them made from cotton along with mixes of other materials
like the polyester tensile and you’ll also see a bit of Spandex because we do need to
have the stretch. [0:05:08]
Now, as the name implies, these did start off as athletic pants. It makes a lot of sense
functionally, they work really well especially if you’re going to be going on a long run
or on a jog. Nowadays, we see them all over the place and I do think if you’re a young
man you’re wearing with the appropriate casual clothing, it works.
Now, could a guy in his 40s, 50s, or 60s still pull this off? I think he can especially if
you’re still in good shape and you actually use them for their intended purpose.
And if you agree, do me a favor and smash that like button. Seriously, gents, when you
guys engage with this like button, when you hit it, it lets the YouTube gods know that,
hey, this video is good, it needs to reach more men.
The next pair of pants that every man needs to consider owning, a pair of cargo pants
or adventure pants. So, by this style, what I mean is something that has extra pockets
and is designed for a little bit more rough and tumble-type of lifestyle. It’s made
from a durable material that can scuff up, it’s going to be easy to take care of. These
are pants that you can dirty with them. So, with pants like these, you want something
like zip cargo pockets. If you’re going to be out rock climbing, if you’re going
to be putting yourself in situations that you’re going to be all over the place, you
don’t want to lose your valuables. Other things that are nice, key rings. Yes,
for putting your keys on that ring. Again, so if you find yourself in a situation your
keys they’ll go flying out. I also like adjustable ankle cuffs. When I go hiking here
in Wisconsin, we have a lot of ticks. So, I like to tuck things in, so, yeah, I don’t
get some random bugs biting me. Don’t forget about the pant material itself.
You don’t want something that’s a hundred percent cotton, it’s going to soak up the
water and then weigh you down. Instead, you want something that’s going to be water-resistant,
so, yeah, if you run into a light shower or if you get splashed, it’s not going to go
right through the pants. So, this next type of pant depends on where
do you live. Do you live down in the desert? Do you live up north where it gets cold? But,
look for a pair of casual pants made from the material that’s going to make sense
in the weather conditions you face. So, up here in Wisconsin, it gets incredibly
cold, yet I got to go outside and do a lot of things. So, I want a pair of lined trousers,
a pair of lined jeans. Something that on the inside has a little bit of just warmth that
it’s going to help retain a little bit thicker. It’s going to be more weather-resistant,
more wind resistant, and is going to do a great job of insulating the heat.
However, if you live down in Arizona, where it’s incredibly hot 75% of the year and
then, miserably deadly hot the rest of the 25% of the year, you want to make sure you
go with a pair of pants that are incredibly lightweight.
Yes, are going to be breathable, protect you from the sun, but are going to be light enough
that you almost feel like you’re not even wearing them.
And, gents, remember, all the pants you’re seeing in today’s video can be found over
at the DUER website. I’m linking to them down in the description with the best deal
on the web. It’s not going to be around forever, so make sure to use that deal or
you’re going to lose it. Again, if you want something that’s comfortable,
stylish, and technically uses just amazing materials, check out DUER, an awesome trouser
company. All right, gents, so what video to watch next?
Well, I’ve got a surprise for you right here. I’m not going to tell you which one
it is. It’s a surprise. No, I’m not going to rick-roll you and it’s safe for work,
but this is a video that I think should get more love. It’s a solid video.
