@@efandmk3382 In Farsi/Persian/Irani Khak = soil/dust "Khaki" simply means "Earthy"... it can mean the earthy color or more common when something is dusty. Hindi and Farsi have had many linguistic and cultural exchanges forth and back through the history. Both are decendents of the same Slavic people who migrated east for about 2-3000 years ago. The pants called khaki are not an Iranian invention though. Pyjamas however come from Persian words "Pa Jame" meaning "leg clothing" so basically "pants" :)

I would consider some of the advice here on what's office appropriate to be a bit dated. Men's fashion has become far less restrictive. You have to remember, that colors, cuts, and other choices in men's fashion pretty much went back to the end of the enlightenment era and into the industrial revolution. Men's fashion became a counter to the fanciful aristocracy and as a sign of equality there was a "we all dress like dock workers, sailors, and field workers now" thing. Which is why long pants and loose fitting work clothes became a thing. This intertwined with Victorian ideas of wearing modedt dull colors and intertwined with other ideas of masculinity being about being a modest manual worker. Through the 1900's there were pushes back against this at time: t-shirts in the 50s, more patterns in the 70s, and more casualness in general starting in the 90's. But the framework has remained. Culturally I believe we're finally starting to come out of the idea that there is one version of masculinity and it's manual labor adjacent, and into more self expression, more colors, more casual and practical options, etc. Part of that is that I've seen quite a lot of relaxing of standard office men's wardrobe. The key is to look well put together and age appropriate.

Lastly, Paul Stewart had some very pricy ($250?) but super nice chinos. Once again I don’t think they’re available anymore but I’m not sure.

Usually I just go to stores and try whatever is available and don't even bother to check what they're called but this time I'm giving online shopping a try (a lot better offers and discounts, A LOT better) so I need to have an idea how a certain pair of pants is going to feel before I buy it because returning it after use is difficult as well. Would Chinos and Khakis feel extremely tight or are they a bit elastic? What do I need to look for?

This is one area where my observations differ from my opinion. From what I am seeing, "Chinos" are simply the pleat-less "skinny pants" version of Khaki dress pants from the '80s and '90s. They don't appear more formal at all, in my opinion. They just seem to appeal more to millennials and trendies. I've witnessed many sites and channels attempt to differentiate between the two by falsely attributing a multitude of characteristics to what they call "Khakis" ...just to then praise "Chinos" by falsely touting them to be the Khaki dress pant that we've all known for decades. One being designed like jeans and the other cut like dress pants.....the orientation of the pocket opening....visible leg seems...etc. Not sure they have a clue what they are talking about.

Some guys looked like they were going to the county landfill, while others looked very sharp. One day, I saw a guy wearing khakis with black shoes and a black quarter zip sweater. I always thought it would be too much contrast, but it looked sharp. I have a pair of brass colored chinos that I wear with black chukka boots and a black sweater now. I'm very confident wearing that outfit. Best wishes to you!

Back in late 80s after I was discharged from the Navy, Ralph Lauren was really popular, and I always wore a variation on a theme. My favorite outfit was a pair of Khakis a blue chambray shirt, white socks, and an ox blood penny loafer. In my pennys there weren't the traditional pennies. I took the penny, 1 for each shoe, then for the right shoe I wrapped the penny in a $5 bill, forthe left I wrapped it in a $1 bill. So I always had $6 bucks on me, so long as I was wearing my dollar loafers.
