Activewear has taken the world by storm and many of the practical performance features have made their way into office wear, sometimes with less than desirable results. Stretchy, breathable, and comfortable properties don’t always translate to well-kempt and professional. Now, Everlane has created their own performance chinos that look like the real deal with a neat cut and fit instead of essentially just being yoga pants with pockets and belt loops. They’re mostly cotton, as they should be, infused with the right amount of Elastane for that midday walk-friendly 4-way stretch. Pair them with wingtips and a crisp blazer and button up, and you’re presentation ready. Switch out to a polo and sneakers, and you’ve got that boating outing nailed. Most importantly, for less than 70 bucks, you’re affordably at least five steps away from looking like you just woke up from a nap in your pajamas.
