Best Trousers Styles For Men | 2020

Whether you’re heading to the office or going on a first date, you need to know what pants to wear and how to style them. Here are some of the most common trouser styles that you should consider for your wardrobe.

Chinos

Chinos’ are relaxed, easy to style and look great with anything. For the days where .it’s too hot to wear heavy trousers or suit pants, these provide a breezy and classic alternative without looking too casual. If you’re heading out to an event that requires you to dress up a bit, opt for darker colors like navy, charcoal or black.

Slim-Fit Trousers

Get the feel of a skinny jean but in a smarter form with these slim-fit trousers. Whether it’s a suit or separates, they’re the ultimate way to spice up a classic outfit. Dark colors such as black, charcoal or navy are a traditional option if you’re headed to the office or a semi-formal event, but don’t be afraid to step outside of the box in something lighter or in a bold shade.

 

Joggers

It’s an extremely comfy and stylish alternative to casual dressing. Slimline joggers provide the perfect hybrid between tracksuit bottoms and standard work trouser, so you’ll be sitting in pure luxury without feeling like a slob. Rock this style with a long line sweater or T-shirt for the ultimate laid back feel. For the days where you’re feeling snazzy, slip into an office shirt with white sneakers.

 

High-Waisted Trousers

High in the waist and classic in design, there are a few ways you can wear this style. Roll necks, crewneck shirts and semi formal blazers are the perfect way to modernise this vintage cut. Hark back to the era of Marlon Brando and stick to a plain grey or white T-shirt, dress shoes and a smile, and you’ll have the eyes of everyone anywhere you go. Just be sure the length sits at or below the ankle.

 

Tracksuit Bottoms

Forget what Karl Lager feld said, tracksuit bottoms are a staple to have in any man’s wardrobe. Comfy and on trend, there’s nothing that sweatpants can’t do. Rock this style with athletic wear for a traditional sporty look, or challenge the norms with a button down and smart sneakers for a put together ensemble. Gone are the days of basic designs, you can now wear luxury workout gear and look like a million dollars.

 

 

Wool Trousers

Perfect both for styling with other tailored separates or smartening a casual getup, wool trousers have been a mainstay amongest industry insiders for years – and their popularity isn’t showing any signs of waning.

While you’ll often see them dressed down with a pair of sneakers by arbiters of cool hanging outside loft offices leisurely puffing on roll-ups, they work just as well styled in a more traditional way.

 

Linen Trousers

Not so long ago, linen trousers were sweaty, misshapen bloomers that had no place in a modern man’s wardrobe. Thankfully designers have done a lot of work to rehabilitate them in recent years. Gone are the shapeless cuts, replaced by tapered, modern leg-lines that flatter every body shape. And linen blends make them a lot more practical, less prone to impossible creases – while still being as breezy as ever.

Try them as part of a linen suit for a dapper old-timer vibe, but the more modern way to wear them is cropped, with sneakers and a plain T-shirt.

 

Cords

Bring back the classics in a super suave pair of cords. The fabric is easy to recognize – strands of yarn are twisted or woven together. These pants are best suited to colder weather, as they will heat up and keep your legs toasty. If you’re ready to make an entrance and do the classic design proud, opt to style these bottoms with a button down, jumper or blazer.

 

Cropped Trousers

Allowing your ankles to breathe in summer while still giving airtime to your footwear in cooler months, cropped trousers are a great way to spice up what can be a tired formal outfit.

In addition to giving your footwear a platform to shine, a precise crop accentuates the line of your trews – because there’s nothing worse than puddling material at the bottom of your ankle. Getting the length right is crucial, though. Unless they fit perfectly off-the-peg, go to a tailor and take their advice, but if you’re feeling braver, anything up to three or four inches above the ankle is a safe bet.

Cropped trousers lend themselves well to both formal and off-duty settings, though you’re undoubtedly in safer territory with the former. Cropped chinos in a sand colour will work well with a simple white shirt, premium suede bomber and white sports-luxe trainers on the weekend.

Slimline Joggers

The sports-luxe movement is still a draw Stateside, and while UK labels took slightly longer to catch up, young Brits have taken the look to their hearts. Combining the “it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all” comfort of joggers with the slim-fit of a more contemporary work trouser, they’re equally at home in the pub or the gym.

While there could be an argument made for the right jogger matched with the right overshirt, we’d suggest keeping the streetwear vibe going with a logo T-shirt from the likes of Palace, Stussy or Undefeated, a low-profile lifestyle runner on the foot and a slightly smarter bomber jacket.

 

Twill Chinos

In twill chinos, quality craftsmanship meets reliability and style in a perfect ménage à trews of cool that’s still exceptionally wearable.

Cut from heavyweight cotton, woven to create a surface comprising diagonal parallel ridges, twill is a traditional material that, if invested in, will give excellent cost-per-wear calculations thanks to its hardy nature. The style is still, strictly speaking, a casual trouser so wear them with an easy-going pair of shoes, a T-shirt or piece of knitwear and top with an overshirt or denim jacket for an effortlessly cool off-duty look.

 

Now go ahead and choose what trouser style suits you the best. I hope it helped. Thank you!
