5 Key Men’s Trouser Trends For 2015
2015 Trouser Styles
With spring on the horizon, it’s time to consider your go-to trouser options for the season ahead, get better acquainted with the styles available and, in due course, exchange those skinny jeans for legwear befitting of a man whose finger is pressed firmly on the sartorial pulse.
But with so many trends and updates emerging from London Collections: Men (LC:M) and the European men’s fashion weeks over the past month, where do you start?
Sure, the stuff sent down the runways is set to be big for AW15, but some of us are early adopters and want to get ahead of the pack by pulling on these threads now.
With this in mind, we’ve created this brief guide to the five freshest trouser trends that are set to take off this year.
1. Wide-Legged
Topman Design threw down the gauntlet at last month’s LC:M by sending its models down the runway in 1970s rock-inspired looks, which included exploded kick flares and powerful bell bottoms.
But if the thought of pulling on a pair of lavishly proportioned flares leaves you cold, there is another, more palatable way to tap into the trend: wide-legged cuts.
Championed by luxury labels Marc Jacobs, Raf Simons, and E. Tautz, the wide-legged trouser has been rescued from sartorial obscurity and is set to go mainstream this spring.
When it comes to styling, try playing up to their relaxed nature by dressing them down with a pair of minimal trainers and SS15’s key outerwear silhouette: the bomber jacket.
