Male/ 32 years old, over here. Would you say these pants are appropriate for work, or is it too nonchalant? I'm a huge fan of the color, and the fit looks very comfortable, but I'm unsure if it's going to give off the professionalism that usually comes across with my dressing. Opinions?

Just lose the keychain and make sure you style the rest of the outfit. Pants are getting wider and the world is getting used to it: The people arguing for slim fit short length pants as the business casual standard are forgetting how controversial this look was when Thom Browne first introduced it.

Looks fine to me don’t worry about these men who wear skinny slacks say. Wear what you feel comfortable in with nice shirt and tie.

Too relaxed unless you take time machine to late 80s

If any of these people have ever worn dark denim and a blazer, a vest or khakis and a polo please step out of the conversation now.

I think they look good. They aren’t thay baggy and if you style it right they will be fine in most business casual office environments. I’d rather see effort to style than the tech bro uniforms any day.

It's possible it's a little too relaxed for office wear but I feel like if you reduce the length a little bit, it should be fine. I think the color is great and definitely is striking.

I think the styling is the problem. With more polished shoes (and no chain or ribbed shirt) these could look good

Really depends on where you work, of course.

Yes absolutely appropriate. Assuming you’re a garbage collector.

Hey there, oversized does not equal unprofessional. Pair it with an office shirt and rock them.

Only wear pants like that in a business setting if your objective is to show off how much weight (i.e., fat) you have recently lost.

Way too baggy and relaxed. Do like the color though

They’re slacks. Totally acceptable.

Add a belt and a nice shirt and it's totally acceptable office attire.

Nice pajamas

Depends where u work! Personally I love them and would wear them to work all the time. I’d say unless the vibe where you work is suit and tie or stuffy business casual, go for it!

The photo looks like he’s holding them up 🤣
