ew why are all your commenters SO mean?!?! who cares?! it's pants! It's fashion related obviously. thank you for this post, i am seriously going to analyze this website, but being a male of such skinny proportions, baggy pants just make me look horrific. but it's worth looking at!

i know, sort of random that you commented on the fit of a friend's pair of pants and then the website for these pants is all about how they're "the best fitting pants?" very weird. also just personal preference but they are really ugly pants. what's so hard about going to the tailor?

Well, let's see, companies that make pants are a part of fashion industry, when last I checked. This is a fairly new line that I recently became aware when I saw a pair on a friend. Men do read this site, as do women who might be interested. So I wrote about the line. Yes, I noticed the fit. It's something I pay attention to when I look at clothing. Don't think that's very weird at all considering I work in fashion. End of story. xxAbby

I seriously am so sick of all the NEGATIVITY... it's like people come on here because they are having a bad day and just pick at anything and they are SO unbelievable RUDE.

once again, loud and clear... if you don't like it then don't come back!!!!!

now, in response to Abby: I agree with the well fitting pants theory, and these look great - but the colors are a little crazy.

Regretfully I commented before hitting their website. Very cute, approved.

Thanks Abby! There are indeed men who read this site.
I'll look those up... I'm always looking for more color.

Seconded, #8.

I don't know about other females on here, but I buy/suggest 90-100% of my fiance's wardrobe because he hates spending money on clothes. I'm always on the lookout for reasonably priced men's pants that fit nicely.

Hi, I'm a guy. I don't read this blog regularly. My gf usually pre-approves my clothes purchases. She reads this blog.

I've got one pair of bonobos. Seriously, great pants. Why? They fit well and they're comfortable. They're also way cheaper than anything else my gf and I looked at in stores. Wool pants from Hugo Boss are like 300 bones, and they're pretty lackluster.

I'm not trying to uber promote this or anything, but the negative comments at the top really require an informed response...

-Mark

PS. Also, in response to #3, nothing wrong with a tailor... but when my new (and now former) tailor effed up my first pair of bonobos the guys sent me a replacement pair for free.

There was one negative comment (unless you count the negativity directed toward that commenter). @2 "All" the commenters are not "so mean." But then, you are not the first person to make sweeping statements about Fashionista's commenters.

P.S. I'm not #1, I just felt compelled to say that. Because I'm an occasional commenter, and I'm not mean. And there actually is frequently a lot of love for Fashionista and fashion in general in this site's comments sections. And usually the "mean" people get struck down pretty hard and fast.

i have invested in several pair of bonobos and i can assure you that these pants are "the real deal." like #2, i am pretty slim and don't have a ton of padding on the backside and i must say that bonobos are a great, great fit. and, further, bonobos customer service makes many other online retailers pale in comparison. i give bonobos a big thumbs up!

Just in case anyone else needed another vote of confidence for these pants...after I bought my first pair of Bonobos, I pretty much decided I'd never buy another brand of pants. They fit THAT well. I now I own 5 pairs.

Oh, and their customer service is ridiculously good. When a pair of wool pants I had bought started to pill after about 6 months, they replaced them with another pair at no charge (not even shipping). I would not hesitate in recommending these pants (actually this company) to anybody.

Great pants. I own over 6 pairs of Bonobos. Fit and fabric is always top of the line. However, my first 2 seemed to fit differently and there were maybe some quality issues -- stitching etc. Seems like they've fixed both issues because my last 4 are perfect. Fit is consistent and still great. I get compliments on my pants all the time now - girls and guys.

The best gauge for irrelevance? Whether you feel compelled to sit on the sidelines and chuck tomatoes all day. At least come up with something witty, or interesting, you effing loser.

Just one more vote for "boys who wear clothes that fit." My bf wears his jeans and t-shirts just right: slim enough that you can see how great his body is (especially his shoulders and ass), but not tight. Sigh.

Can't see him wearing those bright blue ones though.

Abby will you PLEASE stop defending yourself to these sorry excuses. It's not worth it, but I must ask - seriously? This was a bit boring. And also, I do appreciate you looking out on us lads, we're quietly getting THERE.

Dear Jean Voltaire,

If only you knew the things I DON'T say every single day. Sometimes I just have to let it (and by it, I mean a very little bit) out...Ah, sometimes you might find me boring, but I can handle that :) We love reading your comments. Keep 'em coming.

As a formerly skeptical professional mam looking to spice up my biz casual, I gave Bonobos a try. I absolutely love them! I now have three pair and they're my go-to pants for both work and fun. So comfortable, great cut that accentuates an athletic build, and non-boring styles. Also, silk-lined pockets!

This guy I work with sometimes was raving about this store. I felt so out-of-the-loop for not knowing. Now I shall pass this information on to my cute friend who looks cute in anything but occasionally needs a point in the right direction.

I actually went to the website before reading the comments section and already txted my bf asking what his size was so I can buy him a pair. They look great (the normal colored ones)! Thanks for the heads up!

Hey, I'm sometimes critical of this site but I see nothing wrong with this post. I think the light blue pants are nice, and really, you don't see many guys wearing stuff like that.

My husband tried bonobos pants and loves them. Another perk is that their service is EXCELLENT something really lacking in most retail establishments these days.

Love the post about guys clothes! I've been itching to buy some new pants for my bf, since he thinks spending over $50 on anything is practically sacrilegious. Wish I could order some of these for him, but they seem to be fit for longer leaner types, and my bf is an ex soccer player, with the butt/thighs to match. If you happen to run across any pants that might fit that bodytype, please post them. Keep up the good work girls!

These are very unisex. Ladies and gents can wear them! Many of the pants and shorts look like Lilly Pulizter.

So ladies, figure out what size you wear!

now if we could get guys to not wear an untucked long sleeve button down shirt over slacks. it's messy and cheesy.
this is many men's "going out to a fancy place look."

I love Bonobos pants! I buy them for my husband and he too likes the fit and the quality of their items.

There IS a world outside of Gap and Banana for casual men's wear... thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the post. My husband is in desperate need of new pants that are better fitting and I think he will like these.
