DIFFERENT TROUSER STYLES 2022 - Top 10 TYPES OF PANTS FOR MEN
Men will always want statement jackets and
the latest sneakers, but don't let high-wattage clobber blind you to the
essentials. The right type of men's pants can be the most quietly powerful item
you wear, but get it wrong and you'll quickly dull the shine of the trending
pieces you spent so much time chasing.
Yes, it's tempting to reach for your
tried-and-true slim-fit black jeans for the umpteenth time, but there's a whole
wardrobe full of top-tier trews that'll look just as good if given half the
chance. Here are some unsung types of pants that you may not have considered,
but should.
TROUSERS IN CORDUROY
Corduroy, once the exclusive domain of
fictional (and real) academics, is one of the most underutilized materials
in men's fashion and when worn correctly, can make for an indispensable pair of
trousers. Menswear is also experiencing a 1970s revival, so there's never been
a better time to cover your legs in the cord.
The cord is a textile made of woven, twisted cotton or wool that results in
parallel lines (known as 'wales'). Wool corduroy is the most durable and wears
exceptionally well. Cord trousers will withstand a fair amount of rough and
tumble in addition to bestowing a bit of superficial intelligence. If you will,
consider this the Indiana Jones of legwear. They can, however, become quite
warm, so
The best time to use them is when the cold
starts to bite
Contrary to some people's perceptions,
corduroy looks fantastic when dressed down and worn casually. To signal that
you aren't an Oxbridge fellow, try pairing a pair of dark corduroy trousers
with a sweater and functional leather sneakers.
WOOL TROUSERS
Wool men's pants give a flashback to the
days when jeans weren't the undisputed king of legwear, and are a solid favorite of
fashion bloggers (the ones who don't dress like anime astronauts, that is) and
art directors everywhere.
The wool trouser has been a staple among
industry insiders for years, and its appeal isn't showing any signs of
dwindling. It's perfect for combining with other tailored separates or
smartening a casual getup.
This type of pant works just as well when
styled more traditionally, even if you'll frequently see them dressed down with
a pair of sneakers by arbiters of cool hanging outside loft offices casually
puffing on roll-ups. Consider looking at Pitti Uomo, where they are, for ideas.
TWILL CHINOS
If you want to demonstrate your commitment
to traditional masculinity, a good piece of workwear works wonders. Twill
chinos are a wonderful ménage à trews of chic that is yet incredibly
wearable. They combine quality construction with dependability and flair.
Twill is a traditional fabric that, if
invested in, will provide great cost-per-wear calculations due to its
hardiness. It is made from heavyweight cotton and woven to form a surface
consisting of diagonal parallel ridges.
Even if the only "work" you wind
up doing in them is lounging on Twitter, every scuff on a pair of twill chinos
tells a tale. The troubled chino likewise leaves the realm of "Ibiza lads
on tour" in twill and enters a much more mature sense of location.
LOUNGE-FITTING TROUSERS
The pushback against thin jeans has
started. Relaxed-legged jeans and trousers are becoming more and more enticing
as we grow tired of having our genitalia drawn out in an unseemly manner and
attempting (and failing) to take off our skinnies with dignity after a night
out.
The Levi's 501 cut, evoking clothing from
the 1950s, is once again on the radar of menswear's most stylish, and the model
has invited some friends along for the ride.
Looser-fit chinos and pants must break
correctly, but they are ideal for serving as a base for a statement piece of
footwear. Too high and you'll appear to be wearing three-quarter lengths; too
long and they'll look like the floor-dragging bootcuts. The primary goal is to
prevent a pooling scenario, thus we'd
LINEN TUNIC
In the past, linen pants were thought of as
sweaty, crooked bloomers that had no place in a contemporary man's style or
wardrobe. Fortunately, designers have put a lot of effort towards
rehabilitating them recently. The shapeless cuts have been replaced with
tapered, contemporary leg lines that complement all body types. And while they
remain as airy as ever, linen blends make them much more useful and less likely
to develop difficult wrinkles.
For a dapper vintage vibe, try wearing them
with a linen suit, but cropped, with shoes and a simple T-shirt, is a more
modern option.
DRAWN STRING PANTS
Without intending to be overly dramatic,
the best development in menswear in the past ten years has been the
introduction of stylish drawstring trousers. Drawstrings and elasticized
waistbands were formerly only found in sportswear and were viewed as symbols of
carelessness. That is foolish. What a revelation it has been to eat a big plate
of pasta without worrying that your pants would rip by the time the meal is
over.
Today, fitted drawstring pants are
available in a lot more materials than just jerseys. The greatest
selections at the more upscale end of the spectrum are made of wool and linen.
You'll never go back after you've experienced the comfort of dressing up.
SLIMMY JOGGING PANTS
Athleisure is a rare instance of fashion
and function working together for the greater good. There have been several
wonderful hybrids over the years, such as the shacket, the snood, and, well, Kimmie,
but none have as much longevity as athleisure.
Although UK labels took a little longer to
catch up, the sports-luxe movement is still popular in the United States, and
young Britons have embraced the trend. They are equally at home in the bar or
the gym since they combine the "it seems like I'm wearing nothing at
all" ease of joggers with the slim fit of a more modern pair of work pants.
CROPPER TUNIC
As some like to refer to them, ankle
swingers are here to stay, and for good reason. Cropped trousers are a terrific
way to liven up what may be a boring formal ensemble because they let your
ankles breathe in the summer and still give your shoe room to breathe in
the cooler months. Not to be confused with pantaloons, cropped pants are
defined as being shorter than typical and showing a substantial portion of your
men's dress socks.
PACKING PANTS
Throughout their history, cargo
pants have gone from being a necessity for the military to an overblown
monstrosity in the early 2000s. Now that enough time has gone, things have
somewhat settled down and are returning in a significant (and significantly
more fashionable) manner.
Men's cargo pants must strike a balance
between being slim and being roomy, so think customized when
choosing your pair. You could theoretically stuff their enormous pockets to the
brim, but in this instance, neat lines take precedence over practicality, so
leave them empty.
Standard khaki pants go well with
almost anything in navy, so for a weekend outfit that works, think about
wearing an overshirt (another workwear workhorse). In the meantime, if wearing
light layers is not an option, a pair of modern
HIGH WAITED FOR THE TUNIC
It used to be a dead giveaway that you were
either A: 90 years or older, or B: Simon Cowell if you used your nipples to
line up the waistband of your pants. But these days, wearing multiple pairs of
cufflinks is much more likely to indicate that you're the kind of gentleman who
frequents Pitti Uomo and has a collection of them. The popularity of
high-waisted pants is actually on the rise. And while the right pair can be
your ticket to sartorial nirvana, the incorrect pair will make you appear like
a child dressing up in his dad's suit.
The cut and length must be perfect to touch the
sweet spot. If you want to wear wide-leg clothing, choose a cropped fit.
Tracksuit bottoms are
Long-time suit-and-boot wearers in the
menswear industry breathed a sigh of relief when sporty pants first started to
appear on the catwalk. Finally, there was a way to feel as comfortable as pajamas
while still looking put together. Everyone had been waiting for a break, and it
couldn't have arrived at a better time.
When it comes to tracksuit bottoms, there
is a wide range of options. You might choose a side-stripe trouser style and
match them with tailoring. Alternately, you might dress entirely in nylon to
channel a 90s mood. Choose a slim fit, and if the cuffs aren't elasticized,
choose a little cropped style.
