00:00 Essential Trousers Introduction

Trousers have existed for thousands of years, and have been the default way for men to cover their lower half since the 19th century. Since they’re a garment that covers half of your body, they’ll make up a decent portion of your outfit.

We developed today’s list with classic style in mind, so any of these trousers can technically be bought as part of a suit, however, the main focus will be on their value as separates from the jacket. This means we’re looking at trousers that have already stood the test of time and will continue to look good for years to come.

02:45 What To Consider When Selecting Classic Trousers

i like this style of presentation, very calm and kind of a serious tone

[D_Jilla]

As someone who enjoys practicing Spezzato (while simultaneously not having the budget for suits 😅) i appreciate this video so much! I honestly like the look of different colored or different textured trousers regardless. I think it's more visually pleasing and more opportunity for more contrast and color pallette.

[jetsons]

The narration is spot-on and just the right amount of humor. I listen to your videos while building models and now is feel a need to buy a suit for some lol
Thanks for your time and

Living in AZ Tropical weight Wool trousers are definitely a nice addition to the wardrobe. Excellent content as always gents. I also enjoy my Herringbone patterned trousers when it's cooler out. My Chinos and Dark Wash jeans are temperature controlled which makes them comfortable for year round wear no matter what the weather is. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend.

The first item men often go bespoke for are trousers, a very complicated piece of clothes!

[Molach]

Thanks for this video. I've been hoping GG would do a video on odd trousers for a very long time as a lot of articles, videos, books etc on men's clothing seem to assume people nowadays instinctively know what kind of trousers to wear with an odd jacket/separate. The comment about mid grey flannels being the historical equivalent of blue jeans is helpful. Neutral coloured gabardine trousers seem to be the old alternative along with white cricket or tennis flannels, but I don't think I've seen anyone wear the former and the only men I've seen pull off the latter and look the business are Raphael and Okey Onyegbule from AskOkey

I always love a relaxed comfort fit with a tapered leg opening in any style of pant. Vintage semi pleated relaxed pants always serve me well.

[williamkazak]

I wear pleated trousers with cuffs. I hang them straight down using clamp hangars. I got away from Seersucker and I prefer linen in the summer. Wide whale cordoroy was my go to type when I used to wear cordoroy, which I no longer wear. Thank you for your videos. We evolve our own style over time and trial and error.

[DonkeyEMakesYouWiserNow]

I watch this channel because everything is so visually pleasing.

[PoopFart]

Thank you so much! More videos about pants please!!

[RWonline]

I love your videos and the products I've bought from you guys. Absolutely great. The only thing is, every time I soak in your great advice, I'm reminded I have to lose another 10 pounds... 🙂

[maxvandermeer]

I have been waiting for more videos about trousers, so thank you for this! Wearing trousers off the rack is a total disaster for me, especially because I want to wear high rise.

Could you make a review of Collaro MTO trousers just like you did with SuitSupply? And/or a video about recommended trouser brands.
Thank you!

[samuelclaessens]

I like Kyle! But I do miss Rafael’s video’s…

[arthur]

Kyle is a great host/narrator! I think my favorite

[joshuaspencer]

I personally wouldn't have minded you being more prescriptive past #3 vs letting 4-8 be broad categories. Nevertheless, I am now equipped with a template, so thanks!

[DTreagust]

Appreciate the summer tips. Cheers from Mumbai :)

[jameskappel]

I am writing to inquire about the structure of your trousers or slacks, specifically if they are sturdy enough to support a button brace without causing the waistband to roll over. As someone with a rounded tummy, I am aware of the difficulties in finding properly fitting clothing that won't buckle or crumple at the waist.
I recently learned about Ban Rol, a stiff polyester trim that can be inserted between the waistband and facing during construction to create a strong and polished waistband. Not only does it prevent crumpling, but it also maintains a perfect right angle at the corners.
I am wondering if you sell trousers or slacks with this feature, or if you could refer me to a reputable source. I am looking for a dress trouser in a straight-leg, wool blend, and navy blue.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely, James Kappel, Missoula Montana

Ben Davis work clothes is the best looking and longest lasting. Cool classic look

[jordansanudo]

can you do a video on the suits of Marquis Vincent De Gramont from John Wick 4?

[dakotarayprice]

I wear flannel wool pants in summer with Oxford shirt with blazer in summer with slip on dress shoes
