Tombot, the answer is one, or two at the outside.
If a Banana Republic/Land's End/LL Bean no-iron chino is comfortable in tan, it will also be comfortable when purchased in navy, olive, charcoal, and (if you're feeling daring) bone. Five or six pairs will last me quite a while.
They can dress up or down as needed and they're fairly neutral colors. Most days, literally all I do is choose a t-shirt; if I need to go to an office I just put on a dress shirt or polo shirt instead. Occasionally I will buy jeans, but have rarely found any that are comfortable.

so you agree most pants are uncomfortable

swamp ass is a small price to pay for not being seen in shorts.
Some time in the vicinity of 50 I gave up on vanity about my legs and allowed myself to be seen in shorts whenever the occasion moved me.

I wear shorts at home, but the vicinity of 50 was when my pale spindly hairless stems got too gross to go out without me changing into jeans.

Mr. 'boto, "most pants" may or may not be uncomfortable. I haven't worn all or even most of them, so I don't know.
All pants that I buy and wear are extremely comfortable. Otherwise I would neither buy nor wear them.

My main objection to shorts is having to slather on the white housepaint several times a day to stop my legs from turning red and crispy; Aussie sun is fierce.
As for the trousers thing, very much in the camp of 'if hey are uncomfortable you are doing it wrong' although with a side of 'the clothing industry is seriously fucked up about sizing'. I've got trousers in my wardrobe that range from 34-40 inches in nominal waist size, some of which is cut and waistband position, some of which is wait change, some of which is just the vagueries of clothing and the rise of vanity sizing.
Happy to have lost a bunch of weight this year, though; being closer to what the clothing industry considers nominal makes things a lot easier.

since i was a teen i have preferred 70s slacks, "grandpa pants", the kind you see in thrift stores that may have come with a cheap suit at one time and are now to be had for under 4 dollars. maybe they are by Haggar. maybe they have a ticket in the pocket that says "Inspected by number 56". maybe the legs are too long and they drag on the floor around my feet. GOOD. i love it.
