While the rest of New York anxiously and freakishly awaits the newest British import, TopShop (I literally got three promotional emails from different New York "what's happening" services about it), I want to recommend a New York find that is available to anyone, anywhere: the perfect khaki pants.
As I have moved from a daily suit environment to a casual work environment, my wardrobe has admittedly not kept up. I have been over-reliant on my jeans.
After reading about Bonobos pants in New York magazine's "Best of" edition, I ordered two pairs. All I can say is that I love them. Really nice fit, solid design, and not overly trendy. These are going to be my favorite jeans khakis. The customer service is unlike any company I have ever dealt with: I have literally had two very friendly calls making sure I liked the pants. Add a no-questions-asked return policy, a lifetime guarantee, and a made-in-New-York pedigree, and I see no reason to buy khaki pants anywhere else. I cannot wait to order some shorts.
As it turns out, they are located close to me, but they ship anywhere..in a really cool box to boot.
Try them. You'll like them.
