Pleated: Pleated pants are roomier and more accommodating to fuller, athletic body types. Flat-front pants are great for accentuating a slim figure, but may be unforgiving on a larger body. Pleated pants are more generous around the middle and can help flatten a larger stomach or backside. They are also great for active lifestyles because they are easier to move in. Lankier men should be cautious when opting for pleated pants and be sure excessive room or fabric is not making his silhouette look sloppy.
Flat-front : Flat-front pants are slimming, snugger and are popular with trendier guys. Since there are no pleats, the silhouette is cleaner, which flatters slimmer figures.
They are also a little more constricting, and may limit movement. The best way to decide between pleated and flat-front is to try both styles on, and give them each a good test drive. Sit, stand, walk around, twist, flex—see which you find more comfortable.
Pleated trousers are more flattering than ever. Pleats were originally developed to be functional. They allow the pants to expand when you sit, which is not only more comfortable, but it also prevents issues like puckering pockets and unnecessary seam tension.
Even though today's pleated pants are a little more trim than the ones from before the turn of the millennium, they will still be quite roomy and comfortable to wear.
A single pleat is the gateway to full pleated pants. A double pleat will give you more room in the thighs, creating a fashion-forward look. Forward pleats are folded toward the centre of the pants, whereas reverse pleats are folded outward. Forward pleats create a cleaner silhouette, but reverse pleats are more fashion forward.
We like both options. The best way to wear pleated pants is on the loose side. Pleated chinos are like jeans on the ladder of formality. A flat-front dress pant should still be your go-to for more formal occasions. Wear a woven or thinner casual belt with them to complete the look. A relaxed crew neck sweater or a polo with an Harrington jacket will look much more proportionate than a fitted jacket. For bigger men, pleats can flatter your body type, hiding bulges and offering a more sleek appearance.
Fit is key. The fit is key with pleats. The important areas are length, inseam, and waist size. Ensure pleats are flat. Look for a tapered leg. You can achieve a modern stylish look with a tapered effect. In the 80s, pleated trousers were the same width all the way down. Today, pleats are much more tapered, narrowing towards the ankle. Go for double pleats. Double pleats are the best look and the best choice when it comes to getting form and function.
The first pleat is kept closed by the second pleat, without your pants looking too cluttered with style details. This is the definition of busy, while also adding more bag and fabric. If you want help with your pleated-trouser look, book a fitting at a Senszio Trunk Show near you.
