Hi everyone,
I am really hoping that you can lend me your wisdom. Here's the deal: I just switched careers, leaving academia for a professional government post where I will be working in an office each day. This means no more dressy jeans and chinos for me... As I work my way through the stores, I came to realize two things: 1) I know very little about how slacks ought to fit (and what issues can and cannot be fixed by a tailor); and 2) that most slacks don't fit me well because I have big hips and big thighs and bum from years of playing lacrosse.
I have purchased a bunch of slacks that seem reasonable, and I'm hoping to get your take on them. Once I narrow down which ones have a good fit (understanding that some alterations are in order), I'll purchase more and head to the tailor. I promise, I'll pay your help forward once I learn a bit more about pants!
Below is a breakdown of each pair that I bought, followed by labeled photos. Thank you - Michael!!!
2) Neiman Marcus Traditional Fit
3) Zanella Donnie
(looks like a different pant but it's just the lighting. This is useful because there is some wrinkling in the first rear photo from bringing them home).
4) Theory Cody2
5) Lauren Ralph wool/cashmere mix flat front
(I accidentally deleted the rear photo on these but it looked good.)
6) Lauren Ralph Lauren classic fit ultra flex
Thanks again!!!!!!!
