So, where you might rock a pair of light wash denim or chino shorts in the summer, a pair of the best men’s corduroy pants are a reliable go-between as you bridge the gap between seasons. Still with me?

Good, great, grand, because the Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants are precisely the pair you need in your fall menswear rotation, and I’ve got even better news: They’re on sale for 20 percent off right now, making them a very wise choice indeed for today’s Sunday Sale offering.

The Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants carry on the brand’s reliable legacy of casually cool staples, pieces that are suitable for business casual looks but more readily wearable at a weekend brewery outing, at a dinner party or on an upstate seasonal getaway. Again, the best corduroy pants do it all, with rich fall colors, plus texture and easygoing style to match.

Four colors of the ever-versatile Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants are on sale right now, from rich Raw Umber to Washed Black, and it helps that these stylish men’s corduroy pants are built more like five-pocket pants or jeans than dress pants (dress pants would typically feature slant side hip pockets).

The fit is tailored but not overly slim, and as you can see here, the Faherty Brand Stretch Corduroy Pants can be styled with everything from tough Blundstone boots to sleek leather Chelsea boots. Throw in the fact that they’re on sale, they’re well-made and built to last, and they feature plenty of stretch — you might have just found your new favorite pair of fall pants, my friends.

Best five-pocket pants for men.

A reliable twist on the classics is sometimes a welcome change of pace, especially as you look for menswear essentials to carry you from late summer into early fall. I can hardly think of a better option for the days ahead than the Faherty Brand Stretch Terry Pants, a fresh take on the five-pocket pant that manages to be more dressy than your favorite jeans, and yet more laidback than chinos.

They’re the best of both worlds, as you’ll often find with Faherty Brand (sold reliably by my friends at Huckberry, of course).

The company specializes in ultra-soft, expertly crafted flannel shirts and Oxford shirting, not to mention classic T-shirts, shorts and hoodies — all with coastal flair and most featuring soft garment-dyed or washed finishes for a casually cool touch.

The Faherty Stretch Terry Five-Pocket Pants get all the details right, from metal rivet-reinforced pockets to a classic slim-straight leg cut that wears well with rugged leather boots or crisp leather sneakers (look for earth tones in both pants and footwear to really drive home that early fall aesthetic.

The stretch fabric (a terry cotton, for good measure) should feel comfortable no matter what, and in my experience, I’ve found that Faherty Brand pants and chinos hold their shape and durability over time.

It helps that your new favorite pants are also available in a wide range of colors to suit every taste and style, and waist sizes in some colors run up to size 42. So, you’ve got effortlessly versatile pants made from durable fabric, featuring rugged-yet-refined appeal for early fall pursuits more casual (brewery beers, anyone?) and more crisp (a day at the office). Sounds like these are a surefire winner in any season, but especially right now.

See Now, Buy Now: These Todd Snyder Linen Pants are A Perfect Replacement for Casual Jeans

Best pants for men this summer.

For as much as I love wearing some of the best light wash jeans for summer (in keeping with the warmer climes of the season), there are times when a man’s wardrobe essentials need a bit more polish.

While the best light wash jeans are ideal for some casually cool flair, there’s a way to get the comfort and mobility of classic denim with just a bit more style — for the office, for date night and beyond.

And in my experience, Todd Snyder nails that balance perfectly. Exhibit A? The Todd Snyder Cotton-Linen 5-Pocket Pants, which bridge the gap between chinos and denim perfectly. Would you expect anything less from the award-winning designer, after all?

The award-winning designer excels at the rugged appeal of the best men’s light wash jeans, and the same can be said for both chinos and 5-pocket pants. How are five-pocket pants different than chinos or jeans? Well, they mimic the same design of chinos, yet in this case, the fabric is a handsome, breathable cotton-linen blend — and of course, your new favorite pants feature an excellent Khaki colorway (among other options).

Colors like crisp Navy and inky Black are also up for grabs when it comes to the Todd Snyder Cotton-Linen 5-Pocket Pants, while a sleek Slim cut gives them a dressier look and feel than even slim blue jeans might bring to the table. And that lends the Todd Snyder Cotton-Linen 5-Pocket Pants an air of summer-ready versatility.

Pair them with brown leather loafers and a navy polo for an evening outing, or swap in your favorite Oxford shirt and brown leather chukka boots for a mix of high-low office style.

The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Easy Pants are Your Perfect Pants for Spring & Summer

Best lightweight pants for men.

Staying stylish in the spring and summer months, the high heat of the season, doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or taxing. And when you find warm-weather menswear essentials that help you bridge the gap between comfort and style, all the while staying cool as can be, that’s what I like to call the sweet spot.

So it goes with Taylor Stitch, a brand that delivers refined, polished essentials with easygoing appeal all the same. And in my experience, the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants embody that mindset perfectly — your new favorite pants are here just in time for spring and summer, and it only gets better from there.

Made from a 5.5oz. 100 percent linen build, they embody the classic, breezy fit of lounge pants or straight-leg chinos. But here’s the kicker: They use supremely comfortable details like an internal drawcord waist for added comfort, all the while topping the waistband off with belt loops (if you feel so inclined).

Taylor Stitch Easy Pants.

And naturally, some of the best lightweight pants for summer get the all-important details like fit absolutely correct. The Taylor Stitch Easy Pants feature a classic mid-rise and a tailored fit with a slight taper down to the ankle.

In my experience, this design is the sort of reliable fit that looks as polished with your favorite chukka boots as it does with some of the best loafers for summer. They’re also a touch more refined than some other more rugged Taylor Stitch menswear pieces, like a canvas shirt jacket or a garment-dyed hoodie.

That gives them versatility as well as a dash of refinement, in my opinion. In my experience, you can throw on your new favorite linen pants (available in two dusty, versatile colors) with everything from a knit polo and those trusty loafers to a pocket tee and canvas sneakers.

When breezy, comfortable and casually cool style is the name of the game, the Taylor Stitch Easy Pants heed the call, and then some. Don’t let them pass you by as you build out your rotation of the best menswear essentials.

Best men's work pants from Huckberry

It can be tough to find a pair of the best men’s pants that really, truly suit all your style needs and daily pursuits. Is there a pair of pants that checks every box, from work to play, from the office to the farmer’s market to a park stroll… and back? That’s a high bar to clear, but the Proof Rover Pants from my friends at Huckberry just might fit the bill.

Now, it’s not the first time I’ve reviewed the Proof Rover Pants, but I think you’ll find the latest and greatest rugged yet stylish pair of pants are even more improved than ever.

They blend the durable appeal of a pair of stretch canvas work pants with the five-pocket cut of jeans, and while they’re a touch more rugged than, say, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, they’re no less versatile for the demands of your daily grind. A guy’s wardrobe demands options, after all, be it the reliability of dark blue jeans at the office or happy hour, or the crisp cut of stretch cotton chinos or, yes, the do-it-all nature of the Proof Rover Pants.

Best men's adventure pants.

The key with the latest iteration of the Proof Rover Pants? It starts with the use of a breathable, durable engineered cotton-blend fabric that moves with you and incorporates sustainable REPREVE TruTemp stretch polyester fabric. In my experience, that gives the Proof Rover Pants the right amount of stretch and breathability, which just might make them the best travel pants — as well as the best, polished and durable adventure pants.

If you’ve tried the Proof Rover Pants before, as I have, just know that they feel softer and more stretchy to the touch, and they’re lightweight without being flimsy, as well.

The Proof Rover Pants also have the right amount of stretch and style points to look ready and stylish enough for a more casual office, with three streamlined fit options (Slim, Straight and Athletic Tapered) adding to their versatile appeal. In my experience, the Athletic Tapered cut provides a nice amount of room to move for my frame.

And with the Proof Rover Pants — no matter if you’re scaling mountains or hopping on a flight — you’re getting versatile, rich color options (three, to be exact), which you can also pair seamlessly with other pieces of the best travel gear from Proof at Huckberry.

Huckberry has options to suit every guy, and that includes my personal preference — the Athletic Tapered fit to suit my larger build. There are also plentiful colors and sizes in other fit options, including the Flint and Tinder Slim 365 Pants or the always-useful Flint and Tinder Straight-Leg 365 Pants. In fact, I tested out the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants in two wear-with-anything colors, including Desert Brown, and both the Straight-Leg and Athletic Tapered cuts.

Flint and Tinder Athletic Tapered 365 Pants.

With more room through the seat and thigh, but a clean taper down to the ankle, the Athletic Tapered version proved wearable with stylish leather chukka boots, round-toe work boots and even my trusty Blundstone boots. Plus, the fabric on the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants has proven soft and supple, yet highly durable, right out of the box — no break-in time required for the garment-dyed, 98 percent cotton + 2 percent spandex blend.

See Now, Buy Now: These Flannel-Lined Flint and Tinder Pants are Ready for Stylish Winter Adventures

For all the useful gear you’ve got in your rotation of winter style essentials, sometimes, things need to be leveled up a little bit. Take a pair of the best men’s chinos, for instance. Particularly a pair from Flint and Tinder, the excellent in-house brand at Huckberry. Now, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are already a year-round classic in terms of fit, fabric and versatility (with the cut of a jean and the style potential of a chino).

But what about when truly cold winter weather hits and you need something with a little more “oomph” in the mix? Enter the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants, here not a moment too soon when it comes to fighting back against winter weather — in style, of course.

They’ve got plenty of functionality built into every stitch, with inspiration drawn from vintage Army field trousers. And unlike typical chino pants, the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants are made from a sturdily knit Bedford Cord cotton blended with stretch for comfort (and mobility out in the field this winter).

But the real kicker? The use of double-brushed cotton flannel as the lining, a true upgrade that elevates these durable pants from good to great.

It helps that the lining itself gives the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants an added shot of style points (as seen by the folded cuffs atop some of your favorite winter boots above). And certainly, loyal fans of Huckberry (perhaps yourself included!) have responded, as the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants are selling quite fast this season.

It should come as no surprise, seeing as they blend field-ready warmth with the sort of style that wouldn’t look out of place on a more casual day at the office or around town.

While there’s still time, stock up on your new favorite winter trousers, and then get out there to tackle your seasonal to-do list — the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants sure are up for it.

Flint and Tinder 365 Pants

Sometimes, repetition and practice are your two greatest friends in building or refining a menswear wardrobe you love to wear. That starts with finding essentials from brands and retailers you can trust, then honing those picks season after season.

Take Huckberry, for instance. You likely know the company from its partnerships on rugged watches and durable shirt jackets — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg — but what makes it so easy to go back to Huckberry is the range you’re getting in terms of selection. The company’s Flint and Tinder line is, of course, a particular favorite of mine (if you know, you know!), especially the ever-reliable Flint and Tinder 365 Pants.

Shop Flint and Tinder at Huckberry

This certainly isn’t the first time I’m talking about (potentially) your new favorite pants here on the blog — and that’s where consistency comes into play, because I’ve been impressed with the quality, fit, variety and versatility of these pants ever since I tried ’em years ago.

Here’s the even better news: The supple, durable Flint and Tinder 365 Pants — which blend the five-pocket style of a classic jean with the polished cotton-blend fabric of a chino — are better than ever this year as we roll into fall. Take it from someone who knows (tips cap).

I recently tried out a new pair of the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants and found the fabric to be soft yet durable, and the style points unmatched. The fit also offered room to move, a crucial detail in the Tapered fit in particular. It’s also tough to top the vast array of color options (12 in total!) and four fit types, along with sizes up to 44×32. Yes indeed, there are plenty of options for the guy who wants to bridge the gap between casual and office-ready style.

I wore my Flint and Tinder 365 Pants to a brewery for evening beers (alongside a Flint and Tinder Western shirt, of course), and then kept those same pants in my rotation later in the week for refined cocktails. I also plan to trot them out during #NYFW events in New York – that sort of versatility is nearly unmatched, in my book.

Flint and Tinder 365 Pants review.

These reliable (there’s that word again!), wear-with-anything pants are exactly the type of piece Huckberry excels at making. How so? Well, they blend the rugged appeal of jeans with the class of chinos, for starters. The fabric is soft yet durable, they’re crafted to work well at the office or on date night, and they’ve got plenty of personality thanks to a garment-dyed finishing process and a wide range of colors to suit every sense of style.

Back to that first point: The Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are part of Huckberry’s outstanding Smart Casual Collection, which urges you to rethink what you thought you knew about business casual style.

Opt for richer, more interesting fabrics, pieces that mix a blend of rugged and refined style, and then accessories that toe the line between both fields. Taken all at once, the Smart Casual Collection is a way of dressing for the office (and for any classy occasion) that’s fresh and modern — and at the core of it could be the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, so give ’em a shot yourself as we turn the page to a new season.

In my personal experience with the very well-reviewed American Giant Roughneck Pants (which garnered an average rating of 4.5 stars over nearly 800 reviews!), they’re about everything you could want in a durable, versatile pair of pants. Sure, they’re more casual than your favorite pair of stretch chinos, but no less wearable with, say, an Oxford shirt or a classic chambray shirt (of course).

The American Giant Roughneck Pants feature all the hallmarks of the brand’s sturdy, USA-made production, including durable stretch cotton canvas fabric that’s woven in Georgia.
