Baggy pants for the modern dandy

In the world of men’s fashion and style, this is a big news — loose-fitting trousers which were basically extinct are now making a classy comeback!

At the Fall/Winter collections around the world we saw that while several designers were still stuck with the familiar skinny silhouette, others made the case for why roominess is the fastest way to stand apart. Baggy trousers are comfort wear which are functional as well as flattering. What’s exciting about occasionally seeing baggy pants on dudes is that it shows a level of individual thinking and willingness to experiment with silhouettes.

To wear baggy trousers smartly without making it look slouchy or sad the key is balancing the volume proportionately. It’s all about getting the right proportions in your outfit. Balance out the bagginess of your trousers by keeping the top half of your outfit fairly fitted. If you’re wearing wide-legged trousers then try teaming them with more fitted tops. These lazy pants when printed or with some pattern work great with slightly fitted clean neutral/contrast solids and if one has pants in solids going monochrome would be a clever chic idea.

Adding a blazer or fitted jacket can instantly jazz up your outfit. When styling baggy pants, choose your accessories to complement the style of pants you’re wearing. Make sure you don’t reveal your underwear. Wearing a belt is essential and knowing the difference between loose and sagging is crucial to rock this outfit.
