Flared Trousers That Punch Above Their Weight Archives

Flared Trousers That Punch Above Their Weight

Most men write off the flare before they've even tried it. That's understandable. The silhouette has a lot of baggage and the wrong version, in the wrong fabric, cut too wide at the knee, does nothing flattering for anyone. But the right flared trouser is a different argument entirely. It lengthens the leg, adds considered weight to the lower half, and gives a plain outfit something to actually look at. We've been paying close attention to where the cut starts, because a flare that opens from the knee reads entirely differently to one that opens from the thigh. The former works. The latter needs more confidence than most of us have on a Tuesday. The pieces in here sit in that considered middle ground where the shape is present but the trousers still function in a real wardrobe. Worn with a clean white shirt or a fitted roll neck, these are trousers that know exactly what they're doing.
