“It’s not too traditional straight leg but not too wide either. I don’t know the science here—it might just be magic...'
It’s taken me years to find a decent pair of pants. I’ve toiled in hundreds of dressing rooms, squeezing my thighs into everything I could find . I’ve seen countless tailors to take in and let out waists. I’ve spent hours and hours scouring clothing racks and the darkest recesses of the internet for something, anything that would fit. But finally, after all of this time, I’ve found the perfect pants style: Behold, the good ol’ sturdy Wrangler Men’s Wrancher Dress Jean.
The pair is tight in all of the right places, supporting my butt with all the courage of Atlas holding up the world. The waist is deliciously cinched in, nailing that hourglass-body bloom, but also a little loose to allow for some breathability. The flare is the most stellar width on the smaller side, and it comes with a dagger-sharp middle pleat that just won’t quit.
Though this adulation may sound like an advertisement, it’s not. There is, after all, a universal charm in the utility pant—or rather, fashion’s best-kept secret. I’m not the only one hooked on the idea of this humble pant.fashion news and emerging platforms editor Steff Yotka voices a similar affection for the tried-and-true pant that both she and her boyfriend wear. “Dickies, Carhartts, and other workwear pants just have the right hip-to-ankle proportion,” she says.
So why is the utility pant so magical? What gives? Well it’s actually the fabric that gives—and it’s what makes the pants so alluring.creative director Sally Singer notes that the “frisson” of the loose waist—or the slight gap between body and pant—makes the look feel exciting. “Perfect fit, which is what you get with the mom jean, is literal and never that interesting.
Another reason people love the bulk-buy pant is that it is made to last forever and still look great.fashion news director Chioma Nnadi has long kept Carhartts in her wardrobe. “I’ve been a workwear and military-surplus fanatic since I was in high school,” she says. “Mostly it was an inexpensive way for me to get that slouchy, straight-in-the-hip look. Plus that stuff just gets better with age. The more you wear them, the better they look.
