But what other pants exist for everyday wear?

I ask, being about 60% serious. To me, nothing is as comfortable yet good in almost all situations as jeans. Anything more formal makes me feel afraid to get dirty, and I don't wear sweatpants outside of the home. Ok, maybe I'm closer to 80% serious; but fortunately I also don't care if I'm judged for wearing jeans with jeans. I have yet to also wear my denim shirt under my jean jacket with jeans, but that day will come (albeit with the intent of looking a little ridiculous).

Ah! Well, I get where you're coming from. Here's some ideas:

Black or grey jeans. Still jeans, but avoids the Canadian tux look.
Chinos! I have some light brown and green ones. Mix great with a jean jacket and a white/black button-up or t-shirt. Or polo shirt, why not.

Of the above, only the black jeans are not easier to get dirty than blue jeans. But not disasterously so, really. I did just get some grease on my brown chinos from my bicycle which I need to clean now, so yeah, that is a point. But it doesn't happen that often, and some clothing soap generally does the trick.
