8 pairs of trousers to instantly upgrade your wardrobe

Trousers are one of those items that a gentleman rarely upgrades - but it's time to change that

Trousers are one of those items that a gentleman rarely upgrades. While finding a pair that fits is great, the issue that lots of gentlemen have is that they get stuck in a rut that’s impossible to get out of, and one that ends only when someone’s commented that you’ve been wearing the same pair of trousers for years, or subtly hints that it’s perhaps time for a wardrobe upgrade. So, before you stoop this low, do yourself a favour and consider these…

Wear it with: A classic Oxford shirt and a pair of white trainers will give you the edge you need.

Wear it with: A plain white tee shirt and a bomber jacket, and you’re good to go.

Wear it with: Dress it up or dress it down; these trousers work perfectly for both day and night, whether worn with a white shirt and blazer or a sweatshirt and bomber.

Wear it with: Anything that isn’t the same colour as the trousers. The same palette is fine, but the exact sane colour will look odd. Go for light blue, white or pink.

Wear it with: This is the perfect pair for everyday at work; pair perfectly white a crisp white shirt and a sharp blazer.

Wear it with: Pair with a crisp white or light grey tee underneath a tailored sweatshirt to guarantee you a slick and stylish look.

Wear it with: If your work doesn’t require you in a suit, go for these paired with a pair of on-trend white trainers and a light grey sweatshirt.

Wear it with: If classic chinos aren’t your thing, the next stage is to go for something a slightly different colour; one that works well in all environments. These go perfectly with any piece, in any colour: stick to basic neutrals for work but go for a Breton stripe on the weekend to up the ante.
