Wide leg pants for men: hakama-style cuts with wrap fronts, belts and pleats, balloon legs, skirt pants and heavy cotton sweatpants. Easy volume from waist to hem, to wear with a fitted tee or a short jacket.
Wide has a threshold, and it is measurable. Past about 44 cm at the opening, a trouser stops following the calf and starts falling from the hip in one line. Every pair here clears it. Openings at size M run 46 cm to 206 cm.
Hakama-style cuts
Most pairs here borrow from the hakama, the pleated trousers worn over a kimono in Japan. Wrap fronts: the Tie-Side Wrap Pants, the Layered Wrap Skirt Pants and the cropped Japanese Wrap Trousers. Belted fronts: the Belted Hakama Trousers, the Long Wide Hakama Pants and the Japanese Wide Leg Pants with Belt. Pleated cuts: the Pleated Hakama Style Pants, the Wide Pleated Japanese Hakama Pants and the Pleated Samurai Hakama. Our best seller, the wrap-front hakama, and every other cut are in hakama pants.
Skirt pants, balloon and drape
For more volume, the One Leg Skirt Wrap Pants and the Strapped Layered Male Skirt Pants read as a skirt from the side. The Balloon Pleated High Waisted Pants and the Bubble Drape Pants gather toward the ankle, and the Petal Hem Asymmetrical Pants have a cut-away hem.
Everyday pairs
For days off: the Heavy Sweatpants with a wide leg, the Japan Style Drawstring Pants and a pleated wide-leg cargo.
Sizes run XXS to 2XL, and the wrap and skirt styles come in one size and tie to fit. Take your usual size; if you sit between two, go by the waist. Each product page has its own size chart.

Do wide-leg pants suit shorter frames?
They can, if the length is right. Check the length on the size chart against your inseam, because a wide leg that pools at the shoe reads sloppy.
Which pair should I start with?
A hakama-style pair such as the Long Wide Hakama Pants or the Belted Hakama Trousers. The belt or ties set the waist, and they work with a plain T-shirt and sneakers.
Which pair is best for summer?
The Lightweight Hakama Pants, made for warm weather, or a cropped pair such as the Japanese Wrap Trousers. The wide opening keeps the fabric off the leg.
What are wide leg pants called in Japan?
Hakama for pleated or wrap-front trousers, and tobi or nikka for work pants that are full at the thigh. Most pairs here are hakama-style.
How do you style wide leg pants for men?
Keep the top fitted or tucked at the front, let the hem just clear the shoe, and wear sneakers, loafers or sandals with tabi socks.
Are hakama pants wide leg pants?
Yes. Hakama pants are a Japanese wide-leg cut with pleats, a wrap panel or side ties. They make up most of this collection, and the full range is in the hakama pants collection.
What sizes do they come in?
Sizes run XXS to 2XL, and the wrap and skirt styles come in one size and tie to fit. Each product page has its own size chart.
