The Thursday Buy: These Todd Snyder Corduroy Pants Update a Timeless Classic for Early Fall

Best corduroy pants for men.

This time of year, it pays off to take a good, long look at your #menswear wardrobe — at the sort of pieces you need, the sort of style essentials you love to wear, and areas that can use a bit of an upgrade. Perhaps that applies to your rotation of the best pants for men, which often includes staples like light wash denim and linen trousers for the summer months.

But for early fall, the texture, weight and style points of a set of the best corduroy pants for men can go a long way, and that’s where famed menswear designer Todd Snyder can certainly help you amp things up ahead of what we all know to be the best season in the style game for guys.

Like the care and craft that goes into Snyder’s offering of the best cashmere sweaters for men (another luxe style staple you can wear to great effect this time of year), the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants offer up the brand’s own spin on a certified fall style classic. Of course, it all starts with the proper fabrication and build, and in terms of these stylish men’s corduroy pants, that means a blend of cotton and elastane (just a hint of stretch!) along with a slim, flattering fit.

The Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also feature a 14-wale corduroy design for a look that’s more thin and streamlined than typical throwback corduroy pants, which boast a wider wale. The handsome Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also toe the line between formal and casual, what with their five-pocket design that’s also quite close to your favorite pair of Todd Snyder jeans.

The Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also feature design details distinct to the award-winning brand, including custom rivets and a custom back hip logo patch. You’ll also find the famed “TS” (Todd Snyder) logo on part of the five-pocket build, while crisp, classic colors like Khaki and Navy offer variety alongside sleek Black and even eye-catching White.

With a design that hues closely to both denim and to elegant dress pants, these corduroy pants could be just what your style rotation needs these days, whether you choose to pair them with a thermal henley and shawl-collar cardigan, or with a chambray shirt and a stretch cotton blazer.

No one does modern updates to the classics quite like Todd Snyder, and just in time for the season’s best, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants deliver casually cool, comfortable, polished style.

Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow’s Tech Pants are Some of the Most Versatile Pants On The Market

I tend to find that the best menswear brands are the ones that have a true specialty, the ones that focus on doing one thing well — and then branch out from there. Mott and Bow, with its original focus on the best jeans for men (and an easy, efficient online ordering and return process), has honed that focus in recent years with a slew of jeans, including Italian-made denim.

They’ve grown by leaps and bounds in the New York City menswear scene, at least in my experience across the past decade.

Find out more now at Mott and Bow

Yes indeed, the brand that makes your favorite blue jeans now makes everything from T-shirts to sweaters and hoodies, plus henleys, polos and stretch chinos.

And that brings us to the latest and greatest from the fan-favorite denim brand: That’d be the Mott and Bow Tech Pants, which I’ve recently taken for a spin in my many travels as I pursue stories across the country and globe.

With the Mott and Bow pedigree for making some of the best pants for men, period, it makes perfect sense that the brand would deliver a modern, fresh way to look great while on the go — and the Mott and Bow Tech Pants up the ante with innovative fabric, sleek good looks and the brand’s commitment to a flattering fit.

Mott and Bow says you’ll want to wear these pants every single day, and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment — the difference with the Mott and Bow Tech Pants starts, of course, with fabrication and follows from there with a proper fit. The use of 8 percent Sonora yarn in addition to stretch-filled polyester helps give them structure and shape while resisting wrinkles and fighting moisture and odor. Five pockets deliver storage for your everyday carry essentials, while a side-seam pocket features a zippered compartment to store other valuables on the go.

There’s much to love about the Mott and Bow Tech Pants, in my experience, but lightweight mesh pocketing also offers up comfort and wearability. The polished slim fit (about as slim as the brand’s Slim Denim) makes for a crisp look — the kind that feels at home in the office, out on the links, on a business-class flight or at dinner after a long day of travel.

Yes indeed, the Mott and Bow Tech Pants can do all of that, and then some — they’re also easy to dress down relatively quickly with a T-shirt or a short-sleeve henley, but the handsome tailored fit of the Mott and Bow Tech Pants makes them ideal to wear with an Oxford shirt and a stretch blazer, to name but one combination.

And while I opted for a sleek Granite colorway, these durable, lightweight Tech Pants also come in colors like Navy and Khaki, all the better to pair with just about any menswear offerings in your wardrobe. For supreme lightweight comfort, polished style and go-anywhere good looks, I think you’ve found a pair of pants that can take on just about anything.

The Thursday Buy: These Todd Snyder Linen Trousers Will Replace Your Favorite Jeans This Season

Best linen pants for men.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you simply can’t find a way to stop wearing your favorite pairs of jeans, even in the summer heat. It makes (some) sense stylistically, after all — the best men’s jeans, especially in lightweight fabrication and a light wash — are a tried-and-true summer style essential, as easy to wear with an Oxford shirt as with a classic pocket tee.

So, it’s helpful that famed American menswear designer Todd Snyder came up with an alternative as far as stylish men’s jeans for summer: Meet the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants, which merge the same silhouette as your favorite blue jeans with the helpful lightweight fabrication of breezy linen.

With the same crisp detailing as five-pocket blue jeans — this time available in a suitably summer-ready shade of light Khaki — the legendary menswear designer bills these pants as “soft but sturdy,” noting that the fabric “retains the best elements of both fibers: lightweight and breathable” (compared to traditional cotton denim, that is).

The Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants are both rugged and casual yet smart at the same time — built like jeans, but with the comfort and polish to pair with everything from a camp collar shirt and leather loafers to a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a grey Oxford shirt (try it out sometime alongside the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants and feel free to report back).

Shop the best summer menswear at Todd Snyder

In the meantime, the straight leg cut should wear well with everything from canvas sneakers to Todd Snyder x Sperry boat shoes (also a personal favorite, in my experience!).

When it really comes down to it this season, versatile style is the name of the game, and trading in your dark wash jeans for something with a touch more refinement — and a touch more lightweight comfort — is a wise move as the thermostat continues to climb. Find the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants now in your preferred size — there’s stock available, but you might find your new favorite summer trousers are selling fast, my friends.

Bonobos menswear review 2025.

How do you prefer to curate your rotation of summer style essentials? Do you shop as you go throughout the season, securing picks when and where you need ’em — from swimwear to shirting to summer suiting? Or do you plan far in advance, stocking up ahead of the season and then mixing and matching your favorite selections in one perfect ensemble?

When the calendar calls for everything from coastal getaways to summer weddings to laidback BBQs, it’s perhaps best to do a little bit of both — that’s where my friends at Bonobos make a major difference in my wardrobe, in your wardrobe and in the summer style rotation of casually cool guys everywhere.

See Now, Buy Now: These Roark Travel Pants from Huckberry are A Versatile Wardrobe Addition for a Spring Getaway

Roark Layover Travel Pants review.

The right tools for the job at hand — especially when the job at hand is dressing the best way for travel — are crucial, and if you’ve ever hit the road wearing gear that’s less than ideal, you tend to notice it right away.

There’s a balance between comfort, style and functionality when hopping on long-haul flights, taking on road trips or even zipping up the coast on a quick train ride, and I’ve found the best travel menswear and gear balances things nicely in terms of that trio of traits.

That holds particularly true when it comes to the best travel pants, like the Roark Layover Travel Pants as shown above – make a wrong move, and you’ll be uncomfortable for hours, my friends. But it doesn’t have to be like that — let’s dive in, shall we?

Shop men’s travel gear and more

I’ve also found, of course, that the best travel gear tends to come from a site like Huckberry, which is why — in my experience — a selection like the Roark Layover Travel Pants have proven so useful in my own wardrobe. But it doesn’t have to be like that — let’s dive in, shall we?

Best travel pants for men.

In my experience, the Roark Layover Travel Pants are packed with a laundry list of features that separate them from the pack, even among other pairs of stylish, well-designed pants. The two-way stretch fabric boasts a versatile, crisp straight leg fit, and the fabric is as comfortable as it is durable. The straight-leg fit also means the Roark Layover Travel Pants pair nicely with everything from the best high-top sneakers to hiking-minded sneaker boots and even a pair of rugged pull-on boots, like Blundstone.

Best men's travel pants for summer.

But beyond their versatility in matters of good looks, the Roark Layover Travel Pants feature a slew of useful pockets, like a zippered pocket with a stash sleeve, plus classic back patch button pockets.

A quick-stash pocket at the back yoke turns the Roark Layover Travel Pants from a crisp-looking pair of everyday pants into a pair of pants made to crisscross the globe, which is only enhanced by the addition of mesh ventilation and laser cut openings at key stress and movement points.

From A to Z, the Roark Layover Travel Pants have it all when it comes to the best travel pants. The waistband, for good measure and all-day (and night) comfort of the Roark Layover Travel Pants is elastic with a drawstring front, all the better for hours of wearability. For flights across the Atlantic and even adventures across town, you might not find a better pair of travel pants for men this spring than the Roark Layover Travel Pants.

If it holds true that you get what you pay for when it comes to men’s style essentials — which I certainly believe to be the case, in matters of both affordability and investments — then it can sometimes be tough to upgrade your tailored wardrobe on a bit of a budget. After all, this Brooklyn style blog was founded with a focus on affordable men’s style, which is why it’s such a treat to scour the market for the best menswear deals.

Shop discounted menswear at Billy Reid

Run, don’t walk to score savings on some seriously refined, elegant and yet versatile menswear, like the Billy Reid Flat Front Trousers as shown above. They’re just about everything you could want in a pair of the best men’s dress pants, boasting the same kind of quality construction and fabrication that’s made many of the Alabama-based designer’s pieces menswear icons in the modern world.

That includes, of course, the peacoat worn by James Bond, but look closer and there’s plenty more to love from the award-winning designer’s namesake line. These fast-selling trousers, for instance, feature a soft Italian wool blend and the kind of classic construction that should make them endlessly wearable.

Front side slant pockets, plus one eye-catching watch pocket at the hip, are nicely accented by a dressy tab-front waistband closure. The Billy Reid Flat Front Trousers also boast a tailored slim fit, so size up — if they’ve got your size available, that is — for a more relaxed fit.

Best dress pants for men.

Either way, the Billy Reid Flat Front Trousers should prove crisp, elegant and refined — versatile enough to wear with a contrasting navy blazer and Chelsea boots, or perhaps a classic cardigan and a crisp Oxford shirt for a touch of retro style.

What do you value when hitting the road in terms of style and performance? And comfort, for that matter? Is it possible to strike a balance between the two, whether trekking far afield or staying a bit closer to home? With the Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry, my friends, the answer when it comes to striking the perfect balance is a resounding “yes.”

In m experience, the Proof Rover Pants are about as durable and dependable as it gets, boasting the stretch canvas fabric of workwear pants with the cut of a five-pocket pant.

And about those pockets. You’ll find pockets for keys, a card case, additional items like a multi-tool and more. Some pockets on these durable workwear pants boast zippers for security, and some are built like patch pockets for easy access.

That’s long been the idea behind the seasonal collections dreamed up by Taylor Stitch, a brand that uses its San Francisco roots, plus a hefty dose of Americana influence, to craft hard-wearing, hard-working selections in any season — particularly winter, and particularly when it comes to the best work pants for men.

As we continue to step into a new year, I’m all about reliability in your menswear wardrobe — clothing that looks great, fits well, wears even better and matches up nicely with plenty of picks in the rest of your style rotation.

Sticking to those core principles will serve you plenty well in a lot of different style situations, but especially as you head back to the office, right? And that’s where a pair of stylish men’s pants from Bonobos can step in as a wardrobe workhorse.

If those pants happen to be a premium update to a time-honored silhouette, that’s all the better: For instance, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants deliver the goods in that area. Plenty of Bonobos reviews cover how well the long-running NYC company does in matters of fit, fabric and comfort — again, those are all keys that can go a long way towards revamping your office wardrobe (or anytime wardrobe!) in the new year (and beyond, of course).

Like other pairs of Bonobos men’s pants in my experience, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants should deliver a supremely comfortable build in terms of fabrication and fit. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the five-pocket construction wears like a jean, yet can be dressed up like a chino when done the right way.

Plus, the soft garment-dyed cotton is built with a touch of stretch for ease of movement, while the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants come in a range of colors to rival your favorite dress pants or chinos.

Yessir, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants could take the cake as your new go-to workday pants.
