Alternatives to ERL Tailored Lamé Pants
Liked the look of these pants from ERL as a fun sort of sweatpant/trouser hybrid vs just buying an oversized pair of Champion reverse weave pants - https://www.nordstrom.com/s/gender-inclusive-tailored-lam-pants/7759093?color=GUNMETAL
The problem is I do not have an extra $760 floating around :nooooo: and hoped to see what could be out there.
- just exploring options so price isn't a concern but if you're looking at a hard number then let's say $200 USD
- based in US, willing to go secondhand/proxy/custom
- ideally there's some sort of pleating but at a minimum if there's belt loops I'm good
- should be a light or medium heathered gray and matte
- choice of material matters can vary but ideally midweight; I initially envisioned tailored sweatpants if it matters
I appreciate any input 🙂

just a heads up for how shiny that is IRL- they had what I think is the same material in the dior collab. This TRR photo captures it fairly well (if ya click on it) as a heads up

egad
that is cool but yeah matte is the ideal for me
At first glance I thought these were boiled wool trousers
That’s an insane scam for a nylon poly blend lol
yo zeo what about these pants in grey? boiled wool version of the ones i posted in my waywt. hem is a gather hem and pleat in the back for volume nothing in front. see em on y!jp for $200 or so here and there. can keep an eye out

(comme homme plus fw22 fwiw)
saw a few popup when i searched for lurex pants
mostly womens tho, and sans-belt loops, ex: https://www.momoni.it/us/aspen-pant-in-lurex-jersey-copper-14-25395.html?gQT=1

nice - front pleat would've been the platonic ideal for the juxtaposition but these are rad (though are they purple or gray i wonder)
the pic i linked is purple but they made em up in this grey (same fabric different pant)

while not the exact thing these are cool; lurex in general is a great shout out
