Default Dress pants

Hi. Now that I got a job where I can't wear jeans anymore I have to wear dress pants, I got an issue riding to and from work. My damn pants float up to my knees, I look like a circus clown. I would like to keep my pants down, but can't.

A little physical note, I have to buy big and tall socks so, a rubber band is just gonna cut off the circulation at my ankles and I don't feel like jackin around with a rubber band after every trip.

Got any advice?

Put rocks in the cuffs :-) Or maybe change at work once you get there?

How about the elastic straps they sell that clip on the pants. Wear chaps. Tuck your pants in your boots like CHIPS

Two options
One: invest in an over pant to wear while riding
Two:wear jeans and change at work.

I do both but prefer changing at work. I use a system called Eagle Creek pack it folder
I put my shirt, pants, socks, and belt in one and it fits nice in the saddlebag or strapped on the seat. I keep shoes at work. The pack it folder is about the size of a dress shirt when you first buy it and is only about an inch and a half thick when packed.

Try ankle gaiters. They are a made to wrap around the pants at the ankle when using waders or knee boots, keeps them from being pushed up. Very cheap also, under $10

my company changed from jeans, to dress casual, 7 or 8 years ago, after wearing jeans for more than 20 years, so I went to used clothing store & bought mechanic style work pants, along with the majority of co-workers, I refuse to buy expensive dress pants for work, when its a place that I will get dirty, & I dont own any, & never will. they dont ride up much when riding
