At some point in fashion history, it was decided that trousers were subject to the confines of the office — the staple of business-formal attire and the very first purchase once you scored that dream job.
Thankfully, the universe has shifted to welcoming trousers for every occasion, and we’re not only celebrating that stylistic win for our own dynamic lifestyles — we’ve created three styles for you to celebrate right along with us.
Now, we know your mind has probably wandered to the pants and trousers of the past that lacked comfort and on-trend design (meaning those styles you couldn’t get off quick enough once you were home for the day). We know — those not-so-lovely bottoms are still hanging in our closet for reasons unknown to us.
But today is the day you not only swap out the old for the much-needed new, but also a day in which trousers are broadened from the 9-to-5 to include the 5-to-9 as well — a wear-anywhere style that elevates your look wherever you might be headed.
WHERE TO WEAR TROUSERS
Why did it always feel so cringe to attend post-work happy hour in the same slacks you wore in the office that day? This case of trouser selectivity is due in full to the design of the pant, and more specifically, the components of design that were missing. Of our three epic trouser styles, you will not find one lacking the breathability and comfortability that makes them wearable all 24 hours of the day if you so choose.
Additionally, each of our pant styles have been thoughtfully designed to be trend-forward, not backward. While trousers of the past give immediate 1970s vibes (in not the returning-of-trends kind of way), these trousers feature cut-outs, sleek front pleats, and street-ready details that broaden the scope of where they can put in work (and to be clear: it’s way beyond the office).
These trousers are made for dressing up, dressing down, wearing in, and wearing out — in short, there’s no where they won’t wow. Do yourself a favor and grab a pair before they’re gone and watch how they will change your everyday wardrobe satisfaction.
HIGH-WAIST PURSUIT TROUSER
If you don’t own a pair of pants that you wear outside of your jeans when looking for a slightly more put-together (but still casual) look, these are hands-down a must. So classic yet elevated, the Pursuit Trouser became an instant essential as soon as it dropped. Made with a lightweight woven fabrication and classic fit, the comfort and fit of these updated slacks are unparalleled.
Traits of the Trouser:
- High-waisted fit with belt loops
- Traditional fly zip closure
- Front pleat detail
- Faux back welt pockets
EDGE TROUSER
A testament to its namesake, the Edge Trouser is our inspired take on the textbook classic. We like to envision this style as the rebel child of the slack family — the one that blazes a trail like they were born to do it without a glance backward. It gives snowboarder vibes with a daytime finish and we (nor you) can’t get enough.
Traits of the Trouser:
- High-waisted fit & hits at ankles
- Woven nylon shell & zip fly
- Internal cinch button (for a just-right fit)
- Top welt pockets & side pockets
MID-RISE SHOWDOWN TROUSER
In every lineup of everyday essentials, it’s a necessity to add a statement. For those moments you want to throw in a touch of oomph to your look, we give you the Showdown Trouser. With on-trend hip cut outs and adjustable side belts that allow you to DIY your fit, these pants are a stand-out style. Made with the same lightweight woven fabric as the Pursuit Trouser, they provide the same elevated look with an added bit of zest.
Traits of the Trouser:
- Mid-rise fit & straight leg
- Lightweight woven fabric & zip fly
- Faux back welt pockets
- Hip cut outs with adjustable side belt buckets
When jeans aren’t comfortable, when you don’t have time to change before happy hour, and when you want to add a bit of polish and on-trend style to your everyday look, grab a pair of trousers and they’ll take care of the rest.
