They fit me pretty much exactly how I want without having to get them tapered and the fabric is stretchy so I don't feel restricted at all.
I got some slim-fitting J.Crew chinos from the outlet that are also a lighter-weight fabric. They look nicer just from the construction and fabric--a dressier looking chino than the ones I previously mentioned--but I had to get them tailored to fit slimmer throughout the entire leg (I have particularly slim legs and like my pants fitted throughout). They aren't very well made though--they were the ones from the outlet--and you can see where the fabric is being strained at the seams in the seat-area. If you wear them a good bit looser than me, I would recommend them. They were pretty cheap (I want to say $30-45 or so) and look good, but I had to get them tailored and fixed a bit.
Ideally, I'd like something of solid construction, very slim in the leg, and <$100 if possible. An array of colors would be nice, too.
