have you looked at vince? they sometimes crank out straightforward luxe-ish joggers in cotton, wool, linen etc.
I've also devolved into some sort of lazy athletiluxe haze. everything I wear lately is sneaker/stretchy pants/tshirt/bomber.

Never heard of them, one of those joggers pairs look good. Thanks for the tip.
Anyone into Fear of God? Not my style in general, I don't wear rock/heavy-metal themed stuff and avoid plaid, but some pieces are really nice. The Sherpa hoodie is dope, also looks like they skinned the Snuggle teddy bear.

FoG ain't my bag really, too drapey with s hard edge. Same reason I don't wear Rick.
Vince is a good brand for filler items, and it's pretty easy to get the stuff discounted.

Hawkers are pretty decent quality for the price:

John Elliott, Y3, Moncler. They're expensive though. So many companies make them now anyway, just go and try some in store. Don't buy without trying them first.
I got two chino joggers from Zanerobe that are great, barely drop crotch. Those are like half the price from the above.

There is no good reason to pay so much for jogger pants. Like you said so many companies make them now, and its not like its something difficult or hard to make or need premium fabric.
Too bad the company died, but i got these basic chino joggers from JonnyIV that are just amazing fitting.

I think mine was Asos
also I picked up a James Perse tshirt in vegas, it's so soft
Gotta see if anyone local has those in store, most sunglasses are kinda narrow for me

Once you try suiting wool or silk joggers it's hard to go back.

Anyone have the futureworks from outlier? Just ordered a pair for summer since its supposed to be their lightest and most breathable.

I found my baseline John Elliott sweats for 150us new on ebay. Never found any other sweats with that fit, nicely fitted/tapered below the knee.
Don't let a brand's prices in the way, try things on even if too expensive. Get to know the brands, the fits. Eventually you might come across a sale. Or not, but if you like something and it will last years it's worth paying extra.

I have 4 pairs, in different colors. One of them is a light blue so damn beautiful that I regret not buying 2 or 3 of them, cause I haven't see it available in that color again
From Outlier I have tried: 60/30 Chinos, Slim Dungarees, Futureworks, Nyco Slim (discontinued) and among them, yeah... Futureworks are by a noticeable margin the lightest.
The cut is very similar to the Slim Dungarees but with a slight wider leg opening (nothing radical).
I think they look awesome, elegant and modern at the same time. For some maybe it's not a big deal but I love the pockets placement. When you slip your hands into them, it just feel right (the angle, how deep they are, how soft they feel, everything).
The fabric, while not as elastic as the 60/30 Chinos, it's still fantastic. When you put them for the first time, do a squat and you'll see what I mean
I live in Chile (South America) and summer is over but I can confirm they are great for hot days, I haven't tried them now that it's more cold here (Autumn currently).
In short, I can't imagine you not loving them.

I got the navy, but wow I would cop that for summer too. Thanks for the feedback!

YES!!!!, that one.
It hurts just looking at it. The one I have... I treat it like if it's made of silk
EDIT: They had it available in grey too, it's one of the other colors that I bought and it's almost as beautiful as the light blue. Since it's gray I can combine them with anything.

Unrelated, but what color bed sheets and pillowcases should I get if I like comforter/duvets to be white?

Leaning toward grey.

I like soft silvery Grey or one of those warm greeny grey colors.

How about.. White?
Just about every color that is available would look nice with White.
We will also need a picture of your room to really give you advice.

I mean they're not really garish but I wouldn't personally. I got brown boat shoes which are versatile as all hell in the summer but I can't bring myself to wear them anymore because every 15 year old white boy and their fathers wear them. It's petty I know, but that's just me.
Recently I picked up this jacket:
This tee
And these dope chambray pants

I'm looking for a pair of chelsea boot myself, but not trying to break the bank ($100;$150), any recommendation?

Not for any quality ones.....
Jack Erwin makes a fantastic and relatively affordable Chelsea. They are a bit outside your stated range at $220 but are great quality boots. I own the brown suede ones and am contemplating adding the black leather version for next fall. It isn't a goodyear welt though, but I prefer the toe profile you get from Blake construction anyway.

thanks, gonna get the brown one
Yo guys, what's the correct term for a style of trouser that becomes "narrower" towards the calfs and ankles for closer, fitted look?
I've got slim legs and I'm trying to find a smart pair of work wear trousers that fits the description above.
All the current pairs of trousers I have end up looking something like this (i.e. the same width is maintained all the way down):
It just doesn't work on a guy with slim legs.The wide opening of the trouser ends up covering my shoes/trainers.
Any ideas on what I should be looking for?
Thanks.

They are called "stretch". Should exists for all brands, just read on the tag.

I think you're looking for "tapered"
also, you should be able to get existing pairs tailored to fit like that

Like you i also have slim legs. So slim fitted pants are still kind of loose on me
What you need is either tapered fit which are kind of difficult to find and they usually cost more becuase only the fashionable brands make them or a variation of super slim, ultra slim, X-fit all meaning the same thing. It is slimmer than slim but not as slim as skinny fit. Or if you want just do skinny fit
