Try a pair of classic cotton canvas trousers with a worker jacket and Derby boots for laid-back utilitarian-inspired style. Or team a corduroy pair with a tucked-in Oxford shirt, blazer and penny loafers for an effortless business-casual look that will take you from boardroom to bar. Unlike baggy trousers or – God forbid – skinny jeans, straight-leg trousers are universally flattering and acceptable for work and play, so you really can't go wrong. Scroll on for our pick of the best straight-leg trousers for men right now.
