Now that we’re done discussing the basic guidelines in buying pants, let’s go for something a bit more formal. Our men need more formal clothes because they spend most of their time in the office; hence the need to know how to find the best men’s dress pants is essential.

Basically you can choose between the pleated dress pants and the flat- front pants. The pleated dress pants are the most common and practical but on the other hand they look a little out of fashion. They can be paired with dress shirts, sweaters and blazers. For shoes, go for formal shoes or a loafer. Again, Blair.com carries a wide variety of them including adjust –a-band dress slacks made from fine fabric, superior drape and tailored fit. They have hidden elastic band and 76% of their customers recommend the product. The price ranges from $30-$40.

On the other hand, flat-front pants are very attractive and stylish. My man prefers this style and I also like the design. They can make men look thinner especially when the waist fits. The can be paired with shirts and sweaters. Blair.com also has this kind of products and surprisingly some are on sale. You can grab one for as low as $18 and 69% of their customers recommend this product. There is a John Blair plain front slacks that have premium polyester resist wrinkles, machine washable and never needs pressing.

Now that you know have learned the basic about men’s dress pants, let’s find the other basic information about shirt and tie combination. If he is going to wear a brighter tie, match it with a plainer shirt and vice versa. Solid color shirts go with also with conservatively printed ties. The tie can also have a little bit of the shirt color in it, unless the shirt is white. White and blue are always good complements. If the clothes are printed, ties can be printed too provided that the prints are not the same size. So if the shirt has big stripes in it, make sure that the tie has smaller prints. It doesn’t have to be matching this time or the person would definitely look frumpy. Wide color shirt with pinstripes go with a solid color tie and long sleeve sport shirt as well as short sleeve sport shirt don’t need ties. For button-down collar in checked prints, broadly stripped ties are good match.
