Not much use to our American friends but ASOS' 'over-dyed slim fit trousers' are an absolute steal at £25. The fit is perfect for me and the quality is actually very good for the price.

Can anyone recommend me something similar to these, but more affordable? Does Uniqlo make anything this slim? I need khakis, not khaki colored denim or anything thanks!

Yeah, I feel you, I'm not even going to look it up, they're probably like $400. I can't justify basics at the prices they ask.

Sure Uniqlo makes pants that slim, slimmer even... but they make ****** disappears and I won't buy them again.

Edit: also, why are we discussing Uniqlo under a best anything thread? Uniqlo is worse than H&M.

P.P.S. Any online retailers for save khaki, other than barney's... they don't have much of an online selection.

None as of now, but the spring line should be in stores around 3/15, and Barneys should have a better selection then.

Not to threadjack, but can someone recommend the best lightweight khakis? I'll be Tokyo during the brutal summer, so I trying to figure out what's the closest khakis to shorts.

This is the information I have for the classic fit in a 32 waist that was emailed to me a week ago or so by a j crew rep * Classic-fit Waist- 34 Hip- 42.75 Thigh- 25.75 Leg opening- 16.5 I don't really see how the leg opening is too small? 8.25" is pretty big, especially compared to the recent trend of tapered pants/denim these days with very small leg openings.
