It used to be that the only pants a guy had in his closet were blue jeans, tan chinos, and proper trousers in navy and gray. Over the past few seasons, we've seen a push for color, first in jeans, and now in a man's everyday chinos. At first the colors were, well, bright. And that's fine for some, but certainly not everyone. Check out the 15 pairs of pants well-matched to the season.
Uniqlo
Don't think of them as pink, think of them as "dusty rose."
H.E. by Mango
Whoever said that jeans had a lock on the color blue?
Club Monaco
A yellow that isn't too loud.
J. Crew
Perfect for the office or the weekend.
Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen
"Washed-out" is a very desirable attribute, in this case.
Gant by Michael Bastian
Green. It's not just for St. Paddy's day, after all.
Reiss
This particular shade is "mint," according to our handy guide.
M. Nii
And here's a more traditional olive option, rendered in a looser fit. Wear 'em at the beach.
Shipley & Halmos
We're calling this one "salmon."
Band of Outsiders
For those who didn't know, designer Scott Sternberg makes a mean pair of pants.
Incotex
This, right here, is why washing something innumerable times can actually be a good thing.
Patrik Ervell
A little more saturated than some of our other picks, but just as wearable. Try them with a white shirt and a heather gray cardigan.
Todd Snyder
Burnt orange: It's a lot easier to work into your wardrobe than you might think. Trust us.
Paul Smith
If you're gonna wear pastels, spring's the time to do it.
Marc Jacobs
Red. Very red. But worn the right way - namely, with muted neutrals everywhere else - they're a solid bet.
