"finbrah" It's called a moose knuckle, and yes, cause it's PHAT

“Hey Stacey, nice to finally meet you in person. I know you’re really interested in this position, so I wanted to congratulate you and let you know that my bulge bracket’s got an exploding offer ready just for you. Did you bring your kneepads?”

 

I think every mall in the US and Canada has a lululemon store... although their "we made too much" section on their site has nice deals.

"finbrah" If you really want to rock the aggressively comfortable outfit then get some Cole Haan zero grands but that would be way too casual for me on a regular day

Thinking about these as well. Trying to get a pair that work with nice dress pants and ABC pants. Think the Zeros would work? If not, what else would?

 

I second this. Rhone's commuter pants are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn in my life. My legs feel like they're immersed in silk.

Rhone is non-wrinkle after washing. Also got caught in some rain and was pleasantly surprised to find that they're pretty water resistant in addition to being flexible (pretty much a full range of motion). Very happy customer. I will say to get them tailored beforehand (might take longer for delivery) or just have it done at a local tailor. I think standard is 34L.

Just picked up a pair of the ABC pants and a pair of the commission pants from all the rave on this post. I have zero regrets since they can pass as business casual in most work settings, plus they're ultra comfortable and breathable.

A nice factor which hasn't really been touched on here is that they hold their shape very well and don't stretch. I have a few jcrew chinos and my biggest issue is that after wearing them all day they tend to sag a bit on the butt and waist.

 

I wear commissions, think they are a little dressier. Commissions have the pocket structure of chinos while ABC’s are more in line with how you would make a pair of jeans. No one will nit pick the difference though

 

I’m an intern at a BB and I wear commissions every day. Much more casual office than NYC though

 

What shoes can one wear with stretch chinos like Lululemon?

I normally wear dress loafers.... that would probably be too formal?

I wear the Commission Slim because they're slightly more formal (slit pockets) and just fit me better and I wear them with double monk straps (black) or "sleds" (brown) depending on the pant color (black/grey/blue)
