Pants

The beauty of pants are that regardless of the material, fit, pattern, style, color, etc. Pants are universal because we all end up putting them on one leg at a time. Wearing pants is a necessity when it comes to everyday life, simply because walking around in our undergarments would just be inappropriate let alone distracting.

Whether one chooses to wear: jeans, trousers, cargo pants, chaps, chinos, etc. is dependent on the person wearing them as well as for the occasion. In more casual settings it will be common to see jeans, cargo pants or event chinos. But, for business or dressier situations, trousers and dress pants will almost always take the lead. So, when picking dress pants out, what are some characteristics that are important for finding the perfect pant?

FIT
First and foremost, the pants a man chooses to wear must be the right fit. If they are not the correct fit, it could cause the outfit to go downhill looking sloppy, baggy, or too tight in the wrong places. It’s important to understand what to look for when purchasing dress pants. A major tip for dress pants is that they are absolutely to be worn on the waist.

This allows for the proper length as well as comfort when moving throughout the day. Much like jackets, pants are now available in different fit styles. To maintain uniformity, when wearing a slim fit jacket or suit, the pants will also be slim fit. Slim fit pants, like the Tiglio Black Solid Flat Front Slim Fit Dress Pants usually provide a flat-front and are more snug and narrow than other dress pants. Slim fit is often more desired today and can be seen being worn by a lot of men that are style entrepreneurs and bloggers.

But, just because slim fit might be in the lead for personal preference, the classic fitted pant will never let you down. The classic dress pant is more comfortable and provides more room than the slim fit does. It is the typical pant you will see men wearing when paired with a suit or a dress shirt.

If you’re a man that is somewhere in the middle from not wanting slim fitting pants, but not wanting too much room, then the modern fit is perfect for you. The modern fit pant falls right in between the slim and classic fitted pants. They are form-fitting, but still provide enough room to pull off a perfectly chic look.

Pant Style
Pant style comes down to two main factors when considering which option is best for the individual. Although the options are not much different, whichever style is preferred is suggested to be worn a different way to achieve the appropriate look.

At Polished Threads, we stick to the two most popular pant styles that are both traditional and trendy. A standard style with dress pants that seem to never lose popularity, are double pleated pants. Pleats are folds that lie on each side of the zipper and offer a sort of flair to the pant. Pleats have a higher rise. The rise in the pants gives the length from the top waist of the pants down to the crotch seam.

A perfect option for an athletic or bigger male, the right pleated dress pant can give off a more slimming appearance. The Baroni Solid Blue Double Pleated Pants Pleats are comfortable style giving off a roomier fit and classic style. More modern for today is the plain front dress pants. A plain front pant, is as straight-forward as it sounds. The front style of the pants is flat, which allows them to be worn a bit lower on the hip bones rather than the waist. They are straight and classic and usually a perfect fit for a man with a lengthy and slimmer figure.

Style, trends, and personal preference will always come into play when choosing any article of clothing. As humans, we continue to grow and change just like the trends and styles around us. Breaking down tips for specified categories not only help us all to shop smart, but adjust out choices to our personal taste.
