The Nicer Pants 403

This is what happens when your pants start adulting.

Cut like a slim-fit chino, the four-way stretch fabric makes these everyday pants legitimately comfortable no matter what you do, where you go, or how long you have them on. And like our 4-Pocket Pants, they were designed to pass dress codes and club rules.

Willy is cut for a slimmer fit, so please order one size larger if a relaxed fit is desired.

Info

What are the Willy California 403 Nicer Pants?
We were analyzing samples of premium athletic fabric when we found the perfect fabric for our Nicer Pants. We weren’t trying to make slacks you could wear to work—but that’s what happened. Great-looking pants with four-way stretch and a sleek tailored look. Welcome to Willy California. We didn’t invent pants you can wear to work—we invented pants you want to wear to work. No rubbing, no boxy cuts—just real comfort and style.

Our fine-tuned blend of natural fiber and spandex keeps you looking pressed and feeling great. No one wants to wear nice pants that are baggy. The spandex is key—we don’t even like spandex, but in this case, it works. These pants move when you move. As part of our product testing, we ran miles in these pants and banged out cycle classes. Sitting at a desk or client lunch is easy for these slacks. With the fantastic feel of premium natural fabric and the bounce-back capability of spandex, dressing up and looking nice doesn't have to be uncomfortable. From the office to lunch and then straight to the first tee, the Nicer Pants are the way to go.

Why are these pants called “Nicer”?
At Willy California, we marry premium fabric with modern, tailored design to create a wardrobe for the guy on the go. The Nicer Pants are a key piece of our mission. We have a broad line of pants because we dial in our blend of materials precisely to match the specific circumstances of your whole calendar. From shorts in three styles to tracksuits for the guy on the run, the Nicer Pants are the pinnacle of our line.

Everyone needs a “nice” pant when you have to dress up, but this shouldn’t mean feeling constrained or rigid. Long pants that rub in all the wrong places affect your mood and productivity. You shouldn’t have to give up comfort and movement just to look nice—regardless if it's a slim-fit or straight-leg cut.

In spite of our product testing legends, these pants were not designed for a five-mile jog. But we all end up running around more than we want. This is where the performance fabric comes in. Built for the office and tailored for life. The Nicer Pants are what happens when premium performance fabrics meet a made-to-measure, tailored look.

What makes the Nicer Pants so amazing?
We really pushed these pants during product testing and were amazed with their performance qualities and resilience. The fact that they look so sleek and tailored is what defines the role these pants can play in your closet. With their athletic DNA, these pants can also stay with you as you leave the office and dive into the night.

In fact, if you were designing a long pant for working out, your goal would be a pair as lightweight and flexible as the Nicer Pants. You’ll wear them with pride—and they’re more durable than you think.

Most importantly, they are practically wrinkle-proof. A pair of dress-up pants that you can throw in your gym bag without worry. Pull them out and you’re off to dinner. They also travel very well. Roll them up, toss them in your bag, and go. No matter how you treat these slacks, they’re going to look sharp when you need them to. If a superhero had to wear nice pants, this would be the pair—looking bulletproof and ready for anything.

When should I wear the Nicer Pants?
To be clear, during product testing we jogged in them, cycled, and even did yoga. But that’s not the intended use. We make clothes for the whole day, and we needed to check the boxes for the office, a nice lunch, and cocktail hour. And of course, the Sunday morning round of golf.

You should wear Nicer Pants when you’re unsure what to wear. An elevated look with world-class comfort and performance—the Willy way. This usually means you “need to look nice,” which is why we call them the Nicer Pants.

Looking nice doesn’t mean you have to give up comfort or feel. If you’re going to learn one thing about us, it’s that we’re very specific in the products we make. We know you’d prefer to live in a world where sweatpants and shorts work in the office like dress pants—but we also know that some social norms still exist. Our 403 Nicer Pants are meant for the slightly more grown-up days—the ones where you leave beast mode at the gym and switch on a more business-centric focus.
