Hey Stylers,

So I'm going to be springing on a bunch of new gear for a new position at a bank this week. Business casual.. but I like to be more on the dressy side. Anyway, I'm pretty dead set on picking up a couple of pairs or Bonobos' "Weekday Warriors" seen here: http://www.bonobos.com/blue-slim-straight-leg-pants-for-men-monday-blues

I've been purchasing pants from Bonobos since their inception and they've always been a staple of mine where I know they will be a slimmer fitting option without having to spend 4 sweaty hours trying clothes on in the mall. Now, I prefer my pants to be pretty slim, I really think the second picture (from the side) of the Weekday Warriors looks pretty close to ideal in terms of how tapered I like my dress pants. Having said all this, does anybody know of any other options in this price range? I've always done the J Crew thing but over the years I found the fit to be varying and less tapered than I'd like. Also, too skinny for me is the H&M type slim pant where the pant has no break literally whatsoever and is tucked inside your shoe on the verge of skinny jean. Any thoughts and input would be much appreciated gents.

Thanks

OP, if you want to be on the dressy side, cotton trousers don't cut it. Are you looking for wool trousers with a similar fit to Bonobos? It's really not clear what you want from your post. Your price range is also not clear. Posting these follow-up details can help get you better advice.

Cotton trousers with a bit of a sheen and light fabric might do the trick, however, I'm also thinking all the way to the spectrum of wool pants as well. A truly slim fit similiar to Bonobos would be in order, and I'm leaning towards their slimmest cut of the slim straight. My price range would be around $80-$150. Gracias.

Theory is accessible and in this dollar range. I'm wearing a model similar these in black with calf loafers and a tunic linen shirt(tucked in). As stated above, its casual, maybe dressy casual, but certainly not business casual pants.

they have a sheen and wrinkle behind the knee, but they do keep a nice crease in the front. Borderline Friday pants.
