Even my pal Andy is getting on the wide leg/soft shoulder aesthetic.
To give them credit, its probably two things (that are deeply related to each other): a reaction against the baggy fits of the 90s and the fact that for the past 20 years slim fit has defined what a well-dressed man wears.
Some of the fuller cut to me are too much and it looks like your in someone elses clothes as in they look too big.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. One such example is Arnold Wong, who routinely commissions bespoke suits with wide legged trousers that literally look like theyve been pulled out of a 1940s Apparel Arts catalog.
From shop OfSeaAndStars, $50.00 But who wants to stay just fine?
Id be more impressed if people brought over the relaxed vibe from casual wear and retained it in suiting. Not only does it cut away from the slim-fit J. Crew/H&M aesthetic that we see almost everyday on a #menswear IG account, but it also just appears to be relaxed.

Sure, slim fit is fine and standard, but its the inclusion of wide leg that makes an outfit much more interesting, since it plays with proportions and creates a slouchier vibe. Someone told me I look like a homeless man. CarnivalOfTheManiac My dilemma is this, does height matter? Soon I began to see the wider world adopt the wide leg, whether it was in street/skate style, the renewed interest in workwear/milsurp, or the slouchy Tailoring Adjacent look made by a new crop of designers.

The wide leg trouser is a great example of that. But the real kicker here comes in terms of thevisual relaxed vibe.

As a result, Ive been around wide legs for nearly all of my menswear journey.
I never liked trying to be safe andcentrist.
This makes it quite similar to how I approach the School Boy look. The ensemble literally looks like its been ripped out of a 1930s Apparel Arts spread, perhaps from one covering Europe due the inclusion of the beret.Obviously, the true vintage trousers and pinned spearpoint shirt probably help, but the vibe is still immaculate.

Easy pants are characterized by their drawstring waist, a feature that only furthers the slouchy pajama look.
Ive worn slim fit too and theyre just not that comfortable!
Having a softly tailored jacket (with a slightly extended/drooping shoulder) also helps further this narrative by playing with the relaxed fit of the trousers. {"modules":["unloadOptimization","bandwidthDetection"],"unloadOptimization":{"browsers":{"Firefox":true,"Chrome":true}},"bandwidthDetection":{"url":"https://ir.ebaystatic.com/cr/v/c1/thirtysevens.jpg","maxViews":4,"imgSize":37,"expiry":300000,"timeout":250}}.
Just fine. I think the new obsession with milsurp/workwear with tailoring also helped, which is one of the main ways tailored guys get into the wide leg fit.

Which ever trousers I select, a soft jacket definitely help offset the wider proportions and makes it look easy and wearable in the modern day.

Only this time, Id lean even further into the vintage flair with my spearpoint collars and vintage ties! However, its because of the fact that it is an every man look which results in me not really batting an eye at it.
BellaRetro The wide legs work great with boots! I mean, seeing a guy wearing what can be described as elevated pajamas or dad shorts will not look trussed up in the slightest.

While we may not see Simon Crompton doing a wide fit, Ive been seeing wide legged trousers and shorts come back into the lexicon. fashionrework
Contrary to popular belief, those extremely wide trousers were a temporary fad, though perhaps they influenced the widening of trousers through the 1920s. Its very similar to my theory of alternatives that guide my Casual Ethan outfits.
Wide fit has been coming back into vogue for a little bit, no doubt driven by the rise in Asian aesthetics, coupled by an increasing interest in androgynous/shapeless fashion and the rising influence of street/skate wear.

Ad from shop BlissMuseum This use of a wide leg and a soft jacket was the welcome inspiration and update needed to bring my interest in 1930s-1940s style into the contemporary menswear world. Im not sure if youll read this comment but I just recently went all in loving the classic wide trouser look.
Evan Kinori, 18East (Antonio Ciongoli in general), and Engineered Garments are great examples of brands that some guys (including the classic menswear crowd) like to branch out with.
Everything else, whether its an OCBD or a sportshirt, is usually done untucked, turning it into a shirt-jacket of sorts. We also got the #TheSaDCasts thoughts on stream. I have yet to try an actual wide leg pair however, standing at 56.

In fact, I see way more teenagers and fellow 20-ish year olds wear high rise/wide leg pants than anyone in the menswear community!
Im not going to throw away my old pants, as I still like doing more trad-ivy looks, but its something for me to consider moving forward!

Even if my outfits do take inspiration from those things, the execution comes off as slightly different. In other words, you can live out your true fantasy of dressing like its the 1930s-1940s without being too costume-y. Commerce lectronique propuls par Shopify.
Even my pal Andy is getting on the wide leg/soft shoulder aesthetic.
To give them credit, its probably two things (that are deeply related to each other): a reaction against the baggy fits of the 90s and the fact that for the past 20 years slim fit has defined what a well-dressed man wears.
Some of the fuller cut to me are too much and it looks like your in someone elses clothes as in they look too big.
I also retained the wide fit on this 42 1940s style flannel suit.
From shop VonGemini, $79.00 Apart from being somethingintentionaland different than dressing to fit in, I also find it comfortable and flattering!
Were all different though and I totally respect your choice.
Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. One such example is Arnold Wong, who routinely commissions bespoke suits with wide legged trousers that literally look like theyve been pulled out of a 1940s Apparel Arts catalog.
From shop OfSeaAndStars, $50.00 But who wants to stay just fine?
Id be more impressed if people brought over the relaxed vibe from casual wear and retained it in suiting. Not only does it cut away from the slim-fit J. Crew/H&M aesthetic that we see almost everyday on a #menswear IG account, but it also just appears to be relaxed.

Sure, slim fit is fine and standard, but its the inclusion of wide leg that makes an outfit much more interesting, since it plays with proportions and creates a slouchier vibe. Someone told me I look like a homeless man. CarnivalOfTheManiac My dilemma is this, does height matter? Soon I began to see the wider world adopt the wide leg, whether it was in street/skate style, the renewed interest in workwear/milsurp, or the slouchy Tailoring Adjacent look made by a new crop of designers.

The wide leg trouser is a great example of that. But the real kicker here comes in terms of thevisual relaxed vibe.
Its almost like I was going full circle, back to where I first started my menswear journey!
I love a DB with wide legs since the closed quarters help add to the visual interest of the trouser silhouette.
From shop AnastasiaStarCloset, $90.00 Plus there is that indie girl thing of a small top and big pants.

As a result, Ive been around wide legs for nearly all of my menswear journey.
I never liked trying to be safe andcentrist.
This makes it quite similar to how I approach the School Boy look. The ensemble literally looks like its been ripped out of a 1930s Apparel Arts spread, perhaps from one covering Europe due the inclusion of the beret.Obviously, the true vintage trousers and pinned spearpoint shirt probably help, but the vibe is still immaculate.
Ive been buying Polos old chinos from ebay, Andrew and Hammond are nice wide models. Try contacting them via Messages to find out! Typically, orders of $35 USD or more (within the same shop) qualify for free standard shipping from participating Etsy sellers.
Easy pants are characterized by their drawstring waist, a feature that only furthers the slouchy pajama look.
Ive worn slim fit too and theyre just not that comfortable!
Having a softly tailored jacket (with a slightly extended/drooping shoulder) also helps further this narrative by playing with the relaxed fit of the trousers. {"modules":["unloadOptimization","bandwidthDetection"],"unloadOptimization":{"browsers":{"Firefox":true,"Chrome":true}},"bandwidthDetection":{"url":"https://ir.ebaystatic.com/cr/v/c1/thirtysevens.jpg","maxViews":4,"imgSize":37,"expiry":300000,"timeout":250}}.
Just fine. I think the new obsession with milsurp/workwear with tailoring also helped, which is one of the main ways tailored guys get into the wide leg fit.

Which ever trousers I select, a soft jacket definitely help offset the wider proportions and makes it look easy and wearable in the modern day.
My SJC chinos are probably the closest Ill ever get to a versatile pant with a wide leg, though Ive had to give them up since they were just too tight in my inner thigh; the outfits I wore with them are still damn good.

Only this time, Id lean even further into the vintage flair with my spearpoint collars and vintage ties! However, its because of the fact that it is an every man look which results in me not really batting an eye at it.
BellaRetro The wide legs work great with boots! I mean, seeing a guy wearing what can be described as elevated pajamas or dad shorts will not look trussed up in the slightest.
Can it get anymore relaxed than this? I just cant imagine feeling relaxed while wearing slim fit!

While we may not see Simon Crompton doing a wide fit, Ive been seeing wide legged trousers and shorts come back into the lexicon. fashionrework
Contrary to popular belief, those extremely wide trousers were a temporary fad, though perhaps they influenced the widening of trousers through the 1920s. Its very similar to my theory of alternatives that guide my Casual Ethan outfits.
Wide fit has been coming back into vogue for a little bit, no doubt driven by the rise in Asian aesthetics, coupled by an increasing interest in androgynous/shapeless fashion and the rising influence of street/skate wear.

Ad from shop BlissMuseum This use of a wide leg and a soft jacket was the welcome inspiration and update needed to bring my interest in 1930s-1940s style into the contemporary menswear world. Im not sure if youll read this comment but I just recently went all in loving the classic wide trouser look.
Evan Kinori, 18East (Antonio Ciongoli in general), and Engineered Garments are great examples of brands that some guys (including the classic menswear crowd) like to branch out with.
Everything else, whether its an OCBD or a sportshirt, is usually done untucked, turning it into a shirt-jacket of sorts. We also got the #TheSaDCasts thoughts on stream. I have yet to try an actual wide leg pair however, standing at 56.
Ill have to update this essay accordingly.
