In the family of basics, I ask for the black men’s trousers!
These trousers are a must-have in the dressing room of the working girl…
Timeless, elegant black pants …
So I can already see some of you getting up at the back of the room to tell me that these trousers are not part of their basics, that they don’t fit them, that they are too this, or too that !
Keep calm and read !
There are many variations of black trousers for men:
- Straight trousers
- Sinner jacket trousers (with a satin braid on the side of the leg)
- Tailored trousers with or without darts
- Cigarette trousers à la Audrey Hepburn (slightly tightened at the ankles, they lengthen the leg)
Warning: chino, flowing trousers and carrot trousers do not fall into this category.
Maculine black trousers can be worn in all circumstances: at work, at the weekend, in the evening, at a job interview, at a fancy dinner, for shopping etc.
Black masculine trousers are an ultra-safe value.
How to pick the right one ?
The material
Ideally, your black trousers will be made of wool gabardine (a dense, tight and supple fabric with a nice drape) or wool twill (a smooth, compact and light fabric) with a worsted wool fibre.
Combed wool has a clean, smooth and even appearance.
Although wool is an excellent insulator against the cold, it is important to know that fine wool also insulates against heat.
That’s why I wear my men’s trousers all year round; they feel good even in summer.
Avoid materials that are too thick, by optical effect, you will have the feeling to look overweighted-)
