A guide to men's trouser cuts

Without doubt the most timeless model in the world of men's pants. The straight cut is a timeless classic. Straight-leg pants feature a consistent leg width from waist to ankle, making them very comfortable to wear.

Straight-leg pants are also versatile, pairing just as well with casual shoes as with smart boots.

For which body type?

Straight-cut trousers are suitable for all body types, but are particularly suited to men with an H-shape (shoulders and hips in line) or a V-shape (shoulders wider than hips).

It offers a well-balanced silhouette that enhances the body's natural contours without emphasizing them too much.

More fitted than the straight cut, the slim fit is slightly tighter in the thighs and calves, without being skintight. Its main advantage is that it lengthens the leg and refines the silhouette.

For which body shapes?

Slim-fit pants are ideal for men with a slim figure and those with an A-shaped morphology (hips wider than shoulders).

This cut enhances leg length while visually stretching the silhouette.

The carrot cut, also known as tapered, is characterized by a slightly lowered crotch. Wide at the hips, the bottom of the pants gradually narrows towards the ankle. This original cut offers great comfort thanks to its fullness in the thighs and tightness in the calves.

For which body shapes?

Tapered pants are ideal for men with an O-shape (round belly) or I-shape (slim, slender figure), as they add volume to the hips and visually refine the waist.

The ideal compromise between straight and slim fit! These fitted straight-leg pants feature a mid-rise leg width, slightly fitted in the thighs and calves without being too tight.

In short, this model offers a good balance between comfort and elegance!

For what body type?

The semi-slim cut is highly versatile, thanks to its perfect fit. This cut of pants enhances the body's contours, without marking them excessively.

With their origins in military clothing, cargo pants, also known as combat pants or trellis pants, are easily recognizable by their large patch pockets on the thighs.

We love cargo pants for their practicality: always comfortable, capable of adding punch to any outfit thanks to their design, their large pockets make them the model of choice for your urban outings as well as your hikes, allowing you to keep all your everyday items close at hand, such as your wallet, keys or phone.

They're the chic pants par excellence for those looking to put together an elegant outfit! Generally made from cotton twill, Chino pants - also known as khaki trousers for the fussy - have their origins in military clothing. While the front is sober, sometimes embellished with a small welt pocket, they stand out from other pants with their back featuring darts and buttoned welt pockets.

The interlocking cut and elegant allure of chino pants make them an ideal choice for office wear and special events alike.

Wide-legged and made from a soft fabric, casual pants or relaxed pants offer comfort for a casual yet distinguished look. Halfway between a chino and a jogger, the most common type of relaxed pant is the jogger, elasticated at the waist and ankles.

Perfect for homewear or leisure, casual pants can also be worn on the street thanks to their urban style.

These pants are so named because their origins lie in the workwear worn by... carpenters, you guessed it! Of course, carpenter pants have evolved over the decades to become more modern, but they still retain their practicality, with pockets for tools and a cut that allows ease of movement.

Despite their workwear inspirations, carpenter pants aren't just for the world of work: their practicality makes them ideal for accompanying you on all your adventures, and worn with a shirt, they make for chic casual outfits.
