| Ralph Lauren apologizes for using black fraternity symbol on pants - NBC News Posted: 14 Jan 2020 03:12 PM PST The Ralph Lauren Corp. has apologized for using a black fraternity's symbols on a pair of chinos following complaints, and said they are no longer available for sale. An ad for the pants on Ralph Lauren's French website featured the Greek letters for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., which was founded at Howard University, a prominent historically black college in Washington, according to the fraternity's website. The use of the lettering was first reported by website Watch the Yard and prompted a Change.org petition this month demanding that the company "do the right thing and recall, destroy and publicly apologize for trying to capitalize off of black culture."
The Morning RundownGet a head start on the morning's top stories. The pants retailed for 299.99 euros (about $334 U.S. dollars) and featured the fraternity's symbols on the back left pant leg. "We don't know who thought this was a good idea, but they need to fix it quick," the petition states, saying that Phi Beta Sigma is a professional organization that is not for sale. Andrea Hence Evans, a legal representative for the fraternity, said Tuesday that her firm was investigating and that the organization was "shocked and appalled" that Ralph Lauren would violate the fraternity's trademarks without consent. "Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. was founded in 1914 under the principles of brotherhood, scholarship and service," Evans said. "Our client's brand symbolizes a brotherhood of diverse, college-educated men." A spokeswoman for the fashion brand told NBC News in a statement Monday that the use of the symbols on the chinos was "an oversight" for which the company deeply apologized and that it had taken immediate action to stop selling them. The spokeswoman also said that while Ralph Lauren has a rigorous review process for its designs, this incident had prompted the company to take another look at its protocols to help ensure that such a problem does not happen again. "As an American brand with more than 50 years of heritage, Ralph Lauren is inspired by many facets of American culture," the spokeswoman said. "As part of this, we are firmly committed to respectful and appropriate use of all cultural icons and insignias."   |

A man visited the drive-thru at a McDonald's in Pittsburgh, Pa., when he says he saw an employee standing with his hand stuck down his pants. While he didn't appear to be wearing a uniform, he was standing in the kitchen at the time.  John Holieb says he saw the man with his hand down his pants while at the drive-thru with his girlfriend. (John Holieb/Facebook) "I was with my girlfriend and we were getting food for my daughter," John Holieb explained to Fox News. "My girlfriend made a comment about how she can't believe no one is wearing uniforms. Then she notices the guy with both hands down his pants. I looked and said, 'WTF. This is crazy.' There was a few of them just standing there talking. Then I reached for my phone and took two pictures."

| The Ultimate Men's Pants Style Guide - Types of Trousers for Men - Men's Health Posted: 03 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST SHOPPING FOR PANTS can be a tedious, borderline painful experience. Even for fashion editors, finding the right pair of comfortable, flattering trousers can feel like an endless search with many, many visits to fitting rooms—and who has time for that? And if you do find a pair of pants that seem to fit, chances are they won't be the most comfortable option in your closet. Sure, sweatpants have technically been deemed acceptable to wear outside the gym, but a grown man can't avoid those important occasions—business meetings, weddings, and holiday events—when it's time to clean up with a sharp look below the belt. We know the struggle and we're here with a solution. The Men's Health style team found a number of menswear brands with sleek styles that have a hint of stretch. Finally, you can buy chinos and dress pants that have an attractive slim fit with flexibility for comfort. And best of all, it won't cost you a fortune to score a pair. To put these top-notch pants to the test, we enlisted the help of four Men's Health readers. Wherever their day takes them, our group of guys need stylish pants that'll look great from morning-to-night and all them to move with ease. For work, weekends, and everything in between, these chinos, cargos, dress pants, and jeans have you covered for every style flex—no fitting room required. THESE AREN'T YOUR grandpa's chinos. They're slim, stretchy, and look great on men of any age. Worried about your muscular thighs and calves? Four-way stretch keeps your pants looking sharp, not silly. Put on a little winter weight? The flexible waistband is seriously forgiving. From Sunday Funday to swanky soirées, a good pair of chinos has the versatility to replace just about any pair of pants in your closet. GET THE LOOKCARGOS ARE COOL again, folks. By adding utilitarian pockets to slim-fit wool trousers, it creates a rugged elegance that's hard to achieve. Sporty details like elasticized cuffs add some extra cool factor while you make moves comfortably, thanks to the help of a little Lycra. GET THE LOOK      BEHOLD, THE PERFECT jeans to wear to the office. A dark indigo wash keeps your look polished, while the tiniest bit of stretch makes them comfortable to go from office hours to happy hour. Stretch denim is nothing new, but choosing the right option is still a tricky situation; too much stretch can make your jeans lose their shape and look sloppy by five 'o clock. Levi's remains a trusted source for the best denim duds to hug your legs in just the right place, without suffocating them. GET THE LOOKYES, DRESS PANTS can be comfortable. Forget those stiff, boxy trousers you've encountered and meet the new crop of slim dress slacks with stretch to hit the scene. You'll never have to worry about being uncomfortable while sitting, or worse, ripping your pants when you bend over. We're not suggesting you hit the gym in these dress pants, but you should level-up your everyday style and give your go-to jeans a breather by sporting these bad boys during your active day. Whether you're wearing a tailored blazer or just a simple tee, these pants have the power to take your look from bland to Bond status.
