It seemed like just a few months ago we were excited to embrace fall and the layered fits that came with it. Lightweight ripstop pants were more than adequate, but as winter is here it’s safe to say it’s time to switch things up.
Durable fabrics like heavyweight cotton drill and lined pants reign supreme during the colder months, and while there will always be a few gaps in the weather to dive back into your stash of nylon cargos, chances are it won’t be so pleasant.
We’ve selected our favorite pairs to hold you down whether you’re hitting the slopes or simply commuting through the city. From quilted pairs to weatherproof pants, shop the best pants for winter below.
