Men have just a few basic clothing styles, viz, a shirt, a pant or a suit as an add-on depending on the occasion. But there is absolutely no limitation to the kind of shirt or trousers available. The fashion industry has evolved for men to come up with different types of trousers, suitable for different occasions, climate and even different types of fit, depending on which you want to have. Here’s a compilation of the Types of Trousers you should have in your closet.

Straight-Leg Jeans

Straight-leg jeans are classic men trousers which have been on the trend for long. See the popularity of Levi’s 501. Keep the wash plain and distress a minimal to keep coming back to season after season. For perfect styling, pair it with a boot or anything chunky for your feet. You can roll the hems or cuff to your desired length.

Slim Jeans

Slim jeans are the best to resort to if cannot make out what to wear. It is comfortable to wear and looks good on everyone. For a top-heavy look, skinny-fit denim can do the trick. The most advantageous with these trousers is you can pair it with almost anything. From suede boots to trainers, plain white tees to any shirt or even jackets in cold evenings.

Pleated Trousers

Pleats were almost exclusively on the trousers of men over the age of 70. However, the fashion industry has brought this throwback style thrust back into menswear. Pleated trousers allow increased freedom of movement and the looser cut makes it even much more comfortable than other slim-fitting trousers.

These trousers work well when paired with relaxed tailored clothes. Pair it with a light-coloured pair as it separates with a navy, unstructured blazer, an Oxford shirt and a pair of black Derby shoes.

Slim Chinos

The slim-leg chino is a timeless classic is a wardrobe essential. It is a very versatile style of trousers. They are the best smart casuals. The flattering or tapering shape pairs well with almost any type of casual or formal outfit. Pair it with a shirt and blazer on Friday or in business casual offices or relax it with trainers and a T-shirt on the weekends. Aim for amid-rise and slightly tapered leg.

Jersey Joggers

A pair of comfortable joggers are a must when relaxing on the sofa, or on a long trip. Nothing’s better than Jersey joggers when it comes to comfort. With the rise of athleisure,  options for styling joggers have become more varied than ever before. Team it with a plain crew-neck sweatshirt, and a pair of luxe sneakers and an overcoat.

Cargo Pants

Cargo trousers have a history, from army essentials to oversized monstrosity. Now they have been back in the trend. They are in between slim and spacious. Khaki green pairs well with anything in navy. You can consider an overshirt during weekends. Also, a pair of contemporary black cargo trousers can be teamed alongside a white Oxford shirt, grey sweatshirt, and navy overcoat for an attention-seeking look.

Tracksuit Bottoms

These bottoms offer a level of comfort comparable to pyjamas. It was what everyone had been looking for and hence was welcome instantly. There is a huge variety of tracksuit bottoms available. You can choose a side-stripe trouser style and pair them with tailoring, or you can go full nylon head-to-toe vibe. It is recommended to go for a slim cut and if the cuffs aren’t elasticated then opt for a slightly cropped leg. It has always been best when paired with sportswear. However, with the styling available there is more to offer. A cropped side-stripe trousers can be teamed up with a smarter shoe. Pair it on a plain tee and a bomber and you’re good to go. For a street look, go for the full nylon tracksuit and wear it with chunky trainers.

Dress Trousers

Another wardrobe essential, whether for the office or strictly reserved for special occasions such as weddings, dress trousers are an absolute must. Consider fabric, colour and fit while buying. You can play with the first two of these points but not the fit.

The most important thing is leg length. The hem of the leg should be just above the shoe. Anything longer, the fabric bunches and any less, you’ll be showing your socks. So these were the different types of trousers to know about.
