Any recommendations on pants to wear in the office for men? I have a hard time finding pants that look good and are comfortable. I am around 5’10’’ and pretty athletic/ muscular build. Feel like all pants are too tight around my calves and sometimes thighs. Thanks!

If you want higher end dress pants, I’d recommend State & Liberty. Their shirts and pants are for guys with athletic builds (big quads and calves). Stretch material without looking cheap. Your best bet unless you go custom fitted route.

I haven’t tried their jackets personally. Their shirts are great fit for lean/muscular build.

Ex-military. Never skips leg day. Bonobos is my go-to.

Lululemon ABC for business casual.

How is the comfort on those? I agree, lululemon is just business casual.

Bonobos is where its at

On second thoughts, I should TM that and open a line.

Lululemon ABC or commission pants. Commission have the traditional pocket which I like. Also bonobo has pretty solid chinos

Commission pants were discontinued this fall. I would stay away from lulu until they get their head out of their ass and bring back the old fits, at least if you were a slim fit person anyway. The new slim is basically the old classic, and the old slim doesn’t exist

just get some chinos tailored like everyone else

For me it's a 36-32, traditional seam, comfort waste.

Anything I buy from Kohls looks like a tent on me unless I get it tailored. At that point, might as well buy straight from Charles Tyrwhitt

State & Liberty if you’re looking for more of a slacks look.

Lulu and bonobos are both good but come across as a bit casual imo.

My colleagues like Kit and Ace

Just got some Lauren slacks from Macys that have a nice flex to them. More of a traditional style than these $100 athletic wear disquised as business casual stuff.

Lululemon 100%

Rhône’s dress pants 👌🏻

MTailor is great! My husband uses them and the fit is so much better than anything off the rack

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?
