LET’S TALK CHINOS

As much as we’d like the suit to be an essential outfit to all the guys out there, we know it’s not. Some like to wear it everyday, others wear it to work, some wear it only on special occasion. I am not sure but I have heard that even guys without any suits exist. I hope it’s a rumour! Anyway, we totally get it that no one wears suit seven days a week. Sometimes you just wear a blazer with a jeans. Sometimes you want to wear a sweater over your collared shirt and some chinos with it. Talking about chinos, let’s continue discussing trousers.

Jeans have conquered the world but as comfortable as they are, we must admit, they are not solid enough to wear everywhere. That’s where other trousers come in. So we were thinking how many trousers should a men own? We are not going to explain which styles you should own but we’ll give you some colour advice. If you own these six pairs of pants, we are sure you are totally covered for every style and outfit.

First pair is beige. The classics. They are good to go with almost everything. You can wear these on a casual setting, to the office or for a drinks with friends. Pair these with your favorite shirt or blazer that has some darker shades – navy, burgundy or dark grey. They will make the look harmonious.

Black is also a classic. Black trousers go with almost everything. You can create so many different looks with one single pair of black pants! And they are the most stain-proof of them all. Usually white or beige trousers need to be washed after every time you wear them. Black trousers are also a great option for a night out.

Navy. Yet another classic. Beige, black and navy are the base of your wardrobe, so these are the colour of pants that every man really should own. They are so easy to wear – just like jeans. Keep the look with navy trousers casual.

Grey is such a great option because it is suitable for every skin tone and it’s the perfect base to build your work week looks. You can also pretty much wear those with everything.

If grey is not your thing, why not try olive green. For some, olive green is still associated with army. Don’t be frightened because of this. Olive green is actually a great way to add some colour to your look, especially if you are not used to wearing much colour. It’s a good colour to start experimenting with.

If you are already used to playing with colours, why not add some pastel coloured trousers to your wardrobe? The only rule is to keep every other piece in your outfit laid back. Think of pastel pink, blue, yellow, green, orange or even purple hues.
