As we cruise through Memorial Day weekend into the rest of summer, there are certain essential menswear brands you’ve got to keep top of mind to outfit you properly for the dog days ahead. If you read the blog on the regular, you probably know what I’m about to say next: San Francisco’s Taylor Stitch is one of the best menswear brands out there, and it just so happens that the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are, well, some of the best men’s pants to beat the heat in style all summer long. With the comfort of tailored sweatpants and the same style as, say, Taylor Stitch chinos, believe me when I say the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are a must-have pair of summer trousers.

The time is now, as in, right now, to restock your wardrobe with the best pants for men, the kind of breezy pair you can wear without a second thought, no matter how hot it gets out there (and no matter what’s on your summer agenda for each and every weekend). The key, as with classics like a Taylor Stitch indigo shirt or the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee, comes with the unique blend of durable construction, breezy style and versatile good looks. It’s a trio of must-haves that Taylor Stitch gets right over and over again. Let me put it this way: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are the answer to the question, “What pants can I wear when it’s hot out?” and man, do they ever answer it decisively.

The great thing about the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants is the fact that, first and foremost, they wear like your breeziest, most comfortable pair of sweatpants…and yet, they’re not the sweats you’ve been wearing for over a year at this point. No sir, the best pants for men are made from an organic cotton double cloth that’s been heavily washed for a lived-in feel right from the start, and the indigo dye will wear in nicely over time.

 The front slash pockets aren’t all that different from your favorite chinos (same thing with the back patch button pockets), and yet, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants channel perfectly laidback comfort and style all the same. The elastic waistband is a touch that works nicely for relaxed days at home or days about town (wear the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee and a Taylor Stitch denim jacket, and no one will be all the wiser that you’re not wearing a belt). It’s that ideal blend of utility and dependable style, at home or on Zoom calls or at your favorite brewery, that makes these some of the best pants for men this summer. You can count on Taylor Stitch’s pants when you need them the most, so it’s time to add ’em to your shopping cart.
