| 26 Office-Ready Pants That’ll Spice Up Your Work Wardrobe - GQ Posted: 28 Feb 2019 11:46 AM PST Last week on Instagram, our pal John Mayer unveiled his new philosophy for dressing well: always start with your pants. That's especially wise advice when it comes to getting dressed for the office. It's pretty tough to get a fit off, after all, when you're half-heartedly pulling on the same fusty charcoal flannels and plain jane khakis five days a week. If you're looking to level up your workplace drip, you're gonna need to diversify the portfolio: we're talking wide-wale cords, big-mood tartans, and far-out colors—the kind of trousers that'll make your bosses stop and think, "By George, now there's a young man with direction." Here are 26 style-raising, promotion-worthy pairs for every dress code and budget. Tried-and-True PatternsBefore you go buck wild on hypnotic paisleys and blinding neons, maybe give these classics a whirl first. Five-Tool CordsElegant like velvet but tough like denim, corduroy is as adaptable and reliable as it gets. Bigger, Better ChinosChinos are the latest menswear staple to get the dad-style treatment: after a decade of slim-fits leading the way, roomier pleated silhouettes are back to stay. Stripes of a Different StripeBrash, beefy stripes deliver a '60s mod vibe that'd make Paul Weller proud. Undercover SweatsComfy weekend pants you don't have to give up come Monday. Tripped-Out TartansBecause plaid dress shirts are so 2010. (Actual) Work PantsThe tough-as-nails trouser of the moment is the new king of Casual Fridays. Corner Office SwervesIf you've scaled the corporate mountain and can pretty much show up in whatever the hell you want, here are three big swings worth taking.  |
| The Perfect Pair of Pants Is Just a 3D Body Scan Away - WIRED Posted: 28 Feb 2019 06:00 AM PST  Like so many women, Meghan Litchfield dreaded shopping for jeans. There were the garden-variety complaints: inconsistent sizing between brands, the way back pockets stretched or sagged, the humiliation of walking into a dressing room with half a dozen options only to walk out empty-handed. Even the best candidates were ill-fitting. Most of the time, she'd buy jeans one size up to fit her hips, then ask a tailor take them in at the waist. Litchfield, formerly a vice president at GoPro, figured there must be a way to shop that wasn't so demoralizing. Instead of taking off-the-rack clothes to the tailor, what if she could buy her clothes tailor-made? And what if she could make that happen for other women, too? A solution arrived late last year with Redthread, the startup Litchfield created to make bespoke clothing for anyone with a smartphone. Customers choose an item from Redthread's website, fill out a "fit quiz," and capture a series of full-body photos with their phone. Redthread pulls 3D measurement data from those photos and, combined with a customer's fit preferences, creates a made-to-order item. The result, Litchfield hopes, will go beyond simply outfitting a more diverse set of body types. It will upend the way clothes are bought, sold, and designed in the future. Sewing SeedsDigital technology has given rise to an age of ultra-personalization. The radio, once the arbiter of musical tastes, has been replaced by Spotify's custom playlists. Our Facebook and Twitter feeds deliver news stories based on what we've read and liked in the past. Amazon's Kindle surfaces book recommendations you're actually likely to read. But our closets—filled with standard-issue, rank-and-file clothing—still reflect a mass-consumer mindset. A number of new startups hope to change that. Isabella Wren, a Hong Kong–based fashion brand, sells tailor-made jackets, dresses, and trousers with a proprietary body-scanning technology that lifts a woman's exact measurements from a few photos. Proper Cloth, a menswear brand, uses a similar technology to create custom dress shirts. Soma, a lingerie-maker, now sells a "smart bra" designed to find a woman's perfect bra size. A customer wears the garment—a sports bra with sensors and a Bluetooth chip sewn in—and the exact size and shape of her body is translated into a custom bra that fits perfectly. Size Me UpRedThread Standard sizing, as we know it today, didn't exist before the 20th century. People wore clothes they made themselves or commissioned from a tailor or dressmaker. But during the Civil War, both armies needed a better way to mass-produce uniforms. "They came up with what now is basically the algorithm," says Beth Dincuff, a fashion historian at the Parsons School of Design. "So, for soldiers with a 32-inch waist and a 40-inch shoulder span, what's the average sleeve length they need? They had such a large amount of measurements that they could start cutting uniforms in the same way." The formula then carried over into the consumer market, where clothing-makers began using "size models" to estimate measurements. Dressmakers began with items like shawls or capes, which didn't need to fit closely, and later began mass-producing items like corsets or hoop skirts, which did. "Standard sizing was driven by commercial interests," says Dincuff. Today, we find ourselves in a sizing shorthand crisis. It's hard to know what constitutes a "small" or a "medium" in exact terms, and varying proportions can make standard sizes feel off for most people. Dincuff points to the rise of "vanity sizing," where brands inflate the measurements on clothes to make customers feel better about squeezing into a smaller size. That can make the clothes-buying process more emotionally satisfying, but also more confusing. One investigation found that the actual waistband measurement for a pair of size 6 jeans could vary by more than five inches across brands. "We have this system that's broken," says Litchfield. "It assumes women's bodies are standard, it's become completely arbitrary, and at the end of the day, it makes women feel really bad about ourselves." Future FitRedthread licenses its photographic measurement technology from a company called Cala, which lifts 15 exact measurements from the pictures the customer sends in. The company then uses those measurements to tailor a garment in a dozen or so places before shipping it out. Other companies, like Isabella Wren, also let women customize certain aspects of the garment—like changing the neckline or adding pockets. This kind of customization represents "a huge shift in the industry," says Sophie Marchessou, a partner at McKinsey who consults on retail brands. A McKinsey report on "The State of Fashion in 2019" pointed to personalization as a key trend, especially among younger customers. "They have a desire to individualize products, and they're often willing to pay a premium for it." Litchfield agrees. Redthread sells four items: a T-shirt ($78), a jacket ($168), ankle-length pants, and wide-leg pants (each $148). While custom-made clothing might save retailers money on returns and overstock, Marchessou says it's not yet sustainable for most brands to ship out custom-produced single orders. Technologies like automated sewing and 3D printing for clothes could make it easier to scale up a bespoke garment business (and also drive down costs), but those technologies aren't widely accessible yet. On a smaller scale, though, some designers have experimented with 3D printing as a means to find better fit and give consumers more personalization. Israeli fashion designer Danit Peleg believes that in the future we'll be able to "download" our clothes and fabricate them at home using 3D printers that can spin soft materials. Peleg already sells a custom-made 3D-printed bomber jacket for $1,500 and hopes more people will print their own clothes one day. Litchfield, for her part, imagines a world "where stacks of apparel inventory and sizes are eliminated, everyone has their measurements in a digital wallet, and all clothing is created on-demand, personalized to each person." She thinks we'll get there, eventually—one pair of made-to-measure pants at a time. More Great WIRED Stories |

| Review: Dainese HG Pants 1 Are Form-Fitting and Offer Good Trail Protection - Singletracks.com Posted: 28 Feb 2019 03:28 AM PST  I fit the Dainese Armoform Kneeguards under the HG1 pants. Look for a review on the knee guards soon. Warm weather is already teasing us several days a week here in the foothills of the Alps, and my warm-weather gear is easing its way back into the rotation. But mountain bike pants like the HG Pants 1 from Dainese aren't just for protection from the elements; they're meant to keep legs scrape-free too.
 MaterialThe HG1 pants are made of three distinct fabrics, each providing stretch and durability where it's needed. The main fabric is lightly stretchy, made of 90% nylon and 10% elastane. The hips and kneecaps are covered in a tough ceramic-coated fabric that Dainese is quite proud of. "Abrasion resistance is enhanced by a ripstop-woven 120 g/sq. m fabric and panels in SuperFabric®, an innovative ceramic-coated low friction material that's ideal for fending off scuffs and scrapes from rock, brush, and debris." The third fabric is good-old lycra, cooling and stretching the lumbar section and the rear of both knees. The pants have one zippered pocket on the front waistline, large enough for a set of keys and a credit card or lift pass. Waist adjustment straps are on the back of the pants where they will be less likely to catch on anything and flop open. Leg-hugging cutIf you are looking for a guarantee that your pants will not get caught in your drivetrain, this pair is for you. The HG1 are by far the tightest pair of "riding-pants-that-aren't-tights" I have ever worn, resembling the taut trousers of the late Freddie Mercury. The decidedly-tight fit keeps the pants in place while the material flexes to allow them to move with you. Given their close cut, it is nearly impossible to get these pants caught on your saddle or snagged by your rear tire. The hips and knees are made of a robust material reminiscent of motocross gear. On the trailOverall, these pants feel great when mountain biking. Prior to pedaling, I thought that the slim cut would limit movement. Instead, the pants move well with my body and I simply forgot they were there. The legs stretch over the large, hard-shell kneepads I have been wearing, and the waist has stayed in place during long, pedally rides. The main fabric is quite tough, as I found during a crash. My rear tire buzzed the pants several times without any signs of wear in the material. Lycra at the lumbar and behind the knees allows a noticeable amount of air to flow through, cooling the sweat under my kneepads and enabling the pants to stretch without sliding around. There is no extra protection on the drive-side inner ankle, and it's not necessary given the tapered leg cut. The lack of pockets on the HG1 pants is worth considering. If you prefer to ride bagless, stuffing your pockets with gear and grub, you will need to find some other storage. The one pocket provided leaves room for a lift pass and a small set of keys. Aesthetically, I would like these pants to have a little more fabric and looser fit. Functionally they are spot on.
 The HG1 pants retail for €149.90. We would like to thank Dainese for providing the HG1 pants for review.  |
| Pants required: Neal Brown institutes football dress code at West Virginia - The Dominion Post Posted: 27 Feb 2019 08:30 PM PST MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — If you want to coach for West Virginia, you better wear pants. It's one of the new mandates brought in by Neal Brown as he looks to reshape the West Virginia program in subtle ways. There's now a dress code for coaches and support staff members when they go to the Milan Puskar Center. "The only requirement is you've got to have pants," Brown said Wednesday morning during an exclusive sit-down interview with The Dominion Post. When that pronouncement was met with laughter, Brown noted, "That came out funnier than it was meant to be." The policy, a carryover from his time at Troy, is no joke. There will be no one wandering the football facility looking like they're at a Jimmy Buffett concert. "Some type of dress pants. Close-toed shoes. And a shirt with a collar on it," Brown said of the complete dress code, which would also fit in at a quality public golf course. Brown was once a shorts-and-sandals kind of guy, figuring that it didn't matter when most of his time was spent hidden away from public view studying film of practices, opponents or prospective recruits. But he doesn't want his staff having that laissez faire attitude. "When I was an assistant coach, I was probably one of the guys who tried to fight the dress codes," Brown said. "But then as you go through your career and you want to start thinking like a head coach, you're like 'Oh, you do this because what if the school president shows up? What if a donor comes through? What if a prospective athlete comes through?' "You don't know. I have no idea who is going to come through that door. So what we started doing was 'let's look the part.'" The code only applies while school is in session, so things will be more relaxed during August training camp. And no one ever has to feel like they're dressing for initiation at an Ivy League fraternity. "We can go to shorts when school isn't in session," Brown said. "We're not trying to be overly formal. Regardless of who comes through the door, let's try to look like a Division I football program." Brown also noted that the changes won't even be that much different for the sweatpants-loving crowd thanks to recent upgrades in dress-pant technology. "The thing is, with the new Nike pants and stuff, they're really comfortable," Brown said. "So you're not even trading in comfort." FOLLOW on Twitter @bigahickey  |

Explore More I have a confession: When it comes to clothing, I've always had a bit of a shopping problem (maybe, not so much a problem for a commerce reporter). And then, when I had my daughter and was introduced to the world of children's fashion, that problem turned into a fully-fledged addiction. Fun-sized fashion piis just irresistible; like the vibrant colors from Tea Collection, patterns from Hanna Andersson, and adorable accessories from Boden. And since children's clothing is smaller by nature, and uses far less material, pieces typically retail for just a fraction of the price. Those are some excellent savings (per, girl math.)
