Best trousers for men
&SONS
Get yourself some &SONS Beckett trousers in tan and revel in timeless style. Timeless style meeting exceptional craftmanship comes standard at &SONS and a pair of Becketts exemplify this. Crafted from a cotton mix for comfort and durability, these trousers come in a regular fit, exuding a classic charm and made for versatile wear. Braces buttons hark to vintage 1950s style influences, whilst branded buttons, a contrast lining and side adjuster tabs are welcome curated touches. A solid option for rustic, workwear-inspired style.
Billy Reid
In the market for a flat front trouser? Look no further. Billy Reid has just the thing. The brand’s twill flat front trouser is a smart, slim fit trouser constructed from sturdy cotton-linen twill with a chambray-like comfort, but also with the all-important colour richness and durability. There’s two front slash pockets, a novel waistband watch pocket with button flap and two rear welt pockets with button tabs. Although the trousers come in a slim fit, sizing up provides the option of a looser, relaxed silhouette. A friend to deconstructed suiting.
Asket
Scandi quality basics brand Asket do an excellent pair of heavy twill chino trousers. Available in beige, navy and khaki green, the trousers nod to the robust fabrics of workwear with a straight cut and contemporary wide leg. Cut from military-grade Italian-made canvas, the trousers are noticeably heavier than the brand’s tailored chino and substantially more compact. The relaxed silhouette is ideal for a tonal workwear look with matching overshirt or even just rocking with sneakers and a hoodie.
Closed
Closed is a relaxed brand with relaxed clothing and unsurprisingly, there’s a pair of relaxed pants in that mix too. The relaxed trouser pants are made from a comfortable yarn-dyed Italian cotton with a slight stretch, with the pants nice and wide with a loose fit. The trousers feature side pockets and flap pockets, and a drawstring waistband for extra comfort and leg cuffs for a tapered fit. Great for whimsically loose, summer fits capped off with a Birkenstock or fisherman sandal.
LESTRANGE
One of the most notable trousers on our list comes from modular wardrobe specialists LESTRANGE, a brand that has been defined by its quest to create the perfect trouser that effortlessly compliments the rest of its range. Whilst their 24 trouser is one of the best, the essential chino adds another quality option in a regular fit with a slight taper from the knee. Available in navy and black, the chino trousers are crafted from a quality cotton mix and feature beltloops, a tailored finish French bearer closure and organic cotton bound internals. A friend to both the brand’s All Day and Easy shirts.
Luca Faloni
Wool pleated trousers are always such a great transitional piece between seasons and Luca Faloni has ensured theirs are made from 100% virgin wool, making them both comfortable and an eco-friendlier option, eschewing unnatural fibre mixes. The trousers are crafted in a tapered slim fit with four pockets, front tailored pleats and discrete hooks and an internal drawstring waistband. Crafted in Northern Italy, the fabric has a classic soft brushed effect and unique medium-weight insulating properties. Sartorial construction means the waistband and trouser hems can be tailored for the perfect fit.
Mackintosh
Thought the great British coat brand just did coats? Think again, silly. Mackintosh is channelling its craftmanship, heritage and understated style into your next pair of trousers too. The brand’s standard light grey wool trousers bring Mackintosh’s tailoring skills into sharp focus with a straight silhouette, front pleats and crisp creases. Crafted in Italy from 100% virgin wool, the trousers also featured welt pockets, a concealed zip and button fastening, and slip side pockets. They’re an elevated pair to wear with a smart white sneaker from a cherished British brand.
Velasca
Want that Italian pleated trouser swag? Velasca is the place to get it. The Marzamemi pleated chino is very much that chino for Spring Summer. The pair you want to wear with a light merino jumper and some driving shoes or a suede loafer. Available in a variety of earthy shades, the Marzamemi pleated chino trousers are crafted from an eco-minded cotton mix, with a little stretch and a slightly longer leg for customisation via the tailor. Easily dressed up or down but always elevated, cuff the hems and let them sit comfortably above a quality loafer.
Pini Parma
It’s the double button fastenings on the waist of the Soragna capsule collection trousers that have become a bit of a calling card for Pini Parma. It’s a small detail but it exudes sartorial-minded elegance. The trousers feature a high-rise and semi-slim fit, a large extended 2-button belt, side adjusters and single pleat. Despite what might appear to be a smarter trouser, these cotton mix trousers work as well as part of a tailored separates look as they do with a tucked in premium quality t-shirt and sneaker. Crafted in Italy, the trousers feature an unfinished hem so that they can be tailored for a perfect fit.
Private White V.C.
Cargo trousers are in but if you’re looking for a more tailored, classy version of them, Private White V.C. has just the pair for you. Available in ink blue and alabaster beige, the brand’s take on the classic cargo is crafted for a regular fit and medium rise, and features internal bound seams, bellow pocket with pleat and stood secure flap, military grade copy fly zip and belt loops. As is always the case with Private White, the trousers are crafted in Manchester and the level of detail is carefully thought out and executed. A real sartorially-minded pair with details to boot.
WAHTS
The Turner cotton stretch pleated trouser from WAHTS are a serious everyday trousers contender. A great pair for work or play. The woven cotton stretch fabric is super soft to the touch, crafted for all day comfort whilst the modern pleats and elasticated insets at the waist mean a style-forward option that packs a classic shape and extra comfort. A slightly looser fit is a welcome feature and allows for a laidback look. Definitely a pair worth considering for a weekly workplace rotation.
Wax London
The Kurt trousers are a popular garment at Wax and they’re back in a new 10.5oz organic cotton twill fabric. The fabric has been chosen to give the popular trousers a versatility and comfort upgrade, whilst keeping with the shape albeit with a slightly longer leg. The trousers are crafted from 100% organic cotton and designed for a relaxed fit with tapered leg. The elasticated drawstring waist is all about comfort and a button fastening at the front conceals a front zip fly.
Foret
Last but not least, Foret is in the house serving herringbone. Constructed in a sturdy herringbone twill, there’s an obvious nod to workwear here with an emphasis on robust, well-made trousers that will take a bit of a beating whilst still looking the part. Durability doesn’t sacrifice on comfort however, with a slightly elasticated waistband allowing for movement and a casual fit with a slightly dropped crotched doing the rest of the hard work allowing space to move.
The most versatile trousers this season.
