We’re big fans of investing in hard-working staples that will see you through various occasions. And this season, in the mens department particularly, it’s all about wide-leg trousers. We’re talking about the kind that would look right at home in a 90s Italian film, or spotted in mid-size cities across the European Riviera. So, here’s how to style (and make the most of) the relaxed piece.

Look 1 – Structured Trousers

Preppy yet cool, this layered combo can be buttoned up for smarter settings, and undone for when you’re leaving the office.

Look 2 – Linen Trousers

Looking for what to wear for date night, or after-work drinks with your friends? The eye-catching shirt and loafers elevate the breezy, loose trouser legs.

Look 4 – Off-Duty Separates

Dressing for the office in spring/summer can be a challenge. We love this deconstructed suit, which swaps a collared shirt for a short-sleeved tee.

Look 5 – A Relaxed Suit

Loose linen and cotton suits typify warm-weather style. Team your wide-leg trousers with a relaxed blazer for the ultimate pulled-together look.
