Need help with breaking the rules and not getting caught /u/Reload_Dong /r/malefashionadvice

I work in a Government building, our dress code says we have to wear either Jeans, Casual Slacks, or Dress Pants. Specifically, they say no sweatpants. I have been wearing sweatpants for a year or so now and nobody has said anything up until recently (the assistant manager, who is otherwise cool and just letting me know I should probably get “real pants”).

I don’t want to buy some sort of dress pants only for them to rip the first time I lift a heavy box (something I often do on the job). And I don’t want to buy something that’s too uncomfortable either, I’ve tried to wear work-appropriate attire and I seriously hurt my balls. :(((((

Outside of work, I pretty much only wear sweatpants. Ideally, my solution would be to find a pair of sweatpants that look like Jeans, Casual Slacks, or Dress Pants, but are actually, the ever so coveted sweatpants. I’ve tried googling around for something of this criteria, but all the things I end up being recommended are Jogger pants (which just look too much like sweatpants, and are actually not very comfortable IMO).

Please let me know your guys’ thoughts, you can call me a delusional fed if you want. Worst case scenario, all I need are comfortable pants for work. Best case scenario, I get the perfect stealth sweats for work and am happy forever. Thanks in advance!
