Men’s trousers fall into three groups: dress trousers, chinos and casual trousers. Start with how formal the outfit needs to be, then compare fabric, fit and details within the right group.
Dress trousers include wool and wool-blend styles for business, tailoring and smarter outfits. Chinos use cotton and stretch cotton as an everyday alternative to jeans. Casual trousers add corduroy, linen, drawstring, pleated and cargo styles for a more relaxed look.
Most styles are Regular Fit, with some Slim Fit options as well. Check the individual waist, rise, thigh and leg measurements before ordering, because the shape can vary between models even within the same fit label.
