Hi-
I'm a photographer in NYC and amy trying to branch out a little in my habits...for most of my life I've been a jeans addict, meaning I wear them every day, I wear them to client meetings...in fact the only time I don't wear them is when I wear a suit. As I get older (in my 30s now) I find myself dressing them up as much as possible (ie courdoroy / canvas sportscoats, collared shirts, non-sneaker shoes), but there seems to be a limit there. (Or is there? I mean, it is downtown NYC arts scene, after all...) Nontheless, and in the interest of variety, I'm trying to look for another type of pant that might work as well and that I'd actually enjoy wearing. My main issue is that since I'm in an active profession, I like wearing something comfortable and durable that I'm not afraid to get down in the dirt with, and that will still look ok afterwards (it's amazing how much dirt and crap you can get on jeans without affecting how they look...much). Any suggestions for a starting place? Khakis aren't really my thing (as Geoge Carlin calls them : "big fat white people pants") and courdoroy pants make me feel like a college kid. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
