Just like a trusty pair of jeans or chinos, we think that every man needs a go to pair of light grey pants.  Perfect for a day in the office, or a night on the town, a light grey pair of slacks should always be at the ready.  There are a number of fantastic options of various weights out there, but, for this time of year, we would recommend something a bit heavier like the Graham in Grey Tweed ($186) by Billy Reid.

Though he has been designing for a number of years, Billy Reid received the Best New Designer in America Award in 2010.  With designs inspired by his life and surroundings down South, Mr. Reid has created a line of great looking and timeless pieces that will complement any wardrobe with ease.  Made in Italy of 100% wool, these tweed pants are perfect for the cool months.  With a canvas waistband for easy sizing alterations, and an unfinished hem so you can have your tailor get the length just so, these straight fit trousers are a downright handsome pair of pants.  Though many think that light grey should automatically paired with black, we whole heartedly disagree.  Yes, black and grey is a fine look, but if you really want the Grahams to shine, go with a brown belt and shoes.
