Men's Double Pleated Trousers

These are double pleated men's trousers cut wide and straight from a deep twin pleat. The pleats are pressed in. The leg holds its line instead of collapsing, and it falls full to break over the shoe.

Two pleats on each side add room at the hip and thigh. You feel it sitting down. The fabric has space to move, so the front stays smooth instead of pulling across the lap, and when you stand up again the pressed pleats fold back into place without a second thought.

Fit and sizing

Sizes run XS to XL. Our model is 187 cm and wears M. The waist adjusts with an internal tab, so you can take it in a little without a belt. There are belt loops if you want one anyway. The supplier gives a recommended fit guide only. Take your usual size.

Fabric and care

Polyester in a matte weave with a fluid drape. It keeps the crease through a long day. Follow the care label, and press the pleats on a low setting if they soften.

How to wear them

Black, dark gray or brown. Wear them with a tucked knit polo and loafers for the office. A boxy tee and trainers make them casual. Brown with cream is the easy summer pairing. Dark gray goes anywhere.

Why double pleats? A single pleat adds a little room. Two pleats add real volume and a sharper front. Look for the line that runs from the pleat to the hem. It should stay straight.

Pairs well with the heavyweight rolled-sleeve graphic t-shirt and the hanfu jacket. Also in the same family: the high waisted pants for guys.

More pleated cuts sit in pleated pants and Japanese pants. Our kireina pants vs jeans guide compares a tailored wide leg with a pair of jeans.
