New pants

We're officially in the dog days of summer. I've been on the hunt for a pair of linen blend pants for work. Finding ones that work for the beach is easy; Finding ones I could wear to work has been more difficult. But last week I saw (thanks to dappered.com) that Banana Republic had some and they were on sale for $48 (normally $120). I decided to roll the dice and order them.

They're getting their inaugural wearing today. The heat index is currently 104 (F), so a good day to try them out.

First off, I was surprised by how incredibly light they are compared to regular chinos. A huge difference right off the bat. They're 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton. I just went out for a quick walk and they made a huge difference. I didn't come back feeling like my bottom half was an oven. Plus, I don't see any real difference, wrinkle wise, between these and regular chinos.

I'm declaring them a huge win and will be looking to get more colors to mix into my summer rotation.

BTW, taking pants selfies is not easy.
