Top Minimalist Pants 

When you are traveling, in a business meeting, on a date, or even doing errands around town you just want to be comfortable right? You also want those pants to last multiple uses. Be small enough to travel with one or two pairs. Even stylish enough to have those pants be used for multiple occasions like hiking and business meetings.

 

I’ve listed my top minimalist pants for anyone looking to pair down their wardrobe, look stylish, and travel the globe.

Outlier Slim Dungarees

With the Slim Dungarees we wanted to create a casual and comfortable five-pocket pant that we could travel the world in. A pant we could wear everyday, all day, no matter where we would be. A pant that stays dry in light rain, yet dries fast if it does get wet. A pant that shrugs off coffee and beer. A pant that looks and smells good even if you never wash them and dries quickly when you do. A pant that’s breathable enough for the hot and humid, yet substantive enough for year-round use. A pant that’s more comfortable than anything that came before it, and looks better than anything that comfortable. Pants we can travel with through mud, dust and grime, and still walk into a restaurant looking sharp. 

When first tried on they should be just a touch too snug. Over the first few hours they’ll loosen up, and when you put them on by day two they should fit perfectly. A gusseted crotch, curved waistband and reverse back yoke ensure you can move freely through any situation.
