Cropped men's trousers: how to choose and what to wear with?

If we compare a women's wardrobe with a men's one, then the latter will not be full of such a wide variety of all kinds of elements. However, there is one thing that can always be found in a man's closet and that is, of course, pants.

Quite often, true fashionistas acquire more than one pair of such a versatile type of clothing, and a representative of a strong half of humanity does not have to work in an office in order to find a place for formal trousers in his wardrobe - now they have already become a favorite classic that can be worn daily. Cropped pants have been especially popular lately. We will talk about them in the article below.

Having seen enough of stylishly dressed Europeans and Americans, men from Russia also decided to introduce cropped or rolled up trousers and jeans into their wardrobe. A few years ago, such models were not trusted and even despised. but now trousers of this kind have become quite in demand, they can be safely attributed to the classics.

In European countries, such men's pants are called mankles, which is derived from the English word ankle - ankle, because the length of the pants just reaches this part of the leg. AlsoSuch products are referred to as "chinos", which in English means "cotton".

Indeed, cropped trousers are usually made of cotton, they are distinguished by their lightness, so they are ideal for pleasant weather in late spring and early autumn. Experts believe that cropped trousers are stylistically neutral and are universal types of clothing. They are suitable for any occasion, it is for this reason that such pants can be found on a man in a city park, and in a photo from a wedding ceremony.

Pants of this length were once worn by the American and British military, and only two fabric colors were used for sewing: beige and khaki. Now the palette of shades has expanded, and the style has become available to any man who wants to emphasize his style.

In the collections of any brand, the product is almost always equipped with deep pockets both in the front and in the back. Because chinos are practical for everyday wear, they are often compared to jeans.

It should be recalled that cropped trousers will ideally sit on a slender and fit body, they will be able to favorably emphasize all the beauty of the male figure. Moreover, choosing a similar item of clothing, the stronger sex, as it were, emphasizes the fact that they can understand the latest fashion trends as well as women.

Fortunately, in the modern world, fashion trends are developing quite quickly, clothing manufacturers instantly pick up a huge number of innovations, so you can find a wide variety of all kinds of styles of cropped men's trousers in stores.

Chinos can vary in fit: they are low or high. It all depends on the personal preferences of the man and the structure of his body.

Pants of this cut can be either narrow or wide. Chinos tapered downwards are popular, but straight ones that are more familiar to us do not lag behind them.

The choice of this or that type of cropped pants is certainly influenced by the reason why the man puts them on. For example, if he needs a stylish office suit, then it is better to give preference to straight trousers, which can be decorated with arrows, which will give even more working mood. The same option is suitable for any official event.

The designers have developed some names for the styles of cropped pants.

• Slim. As you know, this word is translated from English as "narrow", so it is obvious that this model does not differ in the width of the legs. Most often, such trousers are sewn with a low fit, and their main feature is the presence of a visible seam line.

• Super slim. An even more tight fit. In this case, manufacturers pay special attention to colors, bright and juicy shades prevail here, which are perfect for meeting friends at a party, but pastel colors will successfully fit into a male office style.

• Straight fit trousers. For this version of chinos, a thick fabric is usually used to avoid loss of shape and bruising. From a wide palette of colors, designers prefer neutral and pastel shades. Planting is done high, which visually increases growth.

If a man chooses shot trousers (they are also sometimes called that) for everyday wear, he can give preference to any style of chinos: from strict and straight to those with a low waist and narrowed down.

As you know from the basic rules of women's fashion, short pants or trousers with cuffs can visually shorten your legs, as a result of which your figure will not look better. This feature also applies to the male half of humanity, because no one wants to deliberately mutilate their body. That's why it is extremely important to keep track of the length of the trousers, especially when it comes to such an element of a man's wardrobe as chinos.

In this matter, cropped trousers are divided into two types. The first option is considered when we mentally divide our legs into 4 parts, and the trousers themselves occupy only 3 of them, it is called that - three quarters. In this case, the bottom edge of the trousers reaches the ankle.

Another option for the length of chinos is obtained when we mentally divide the legs into 8 parts, and the trousers fit only 7 of them - this length is called seven-eighths. If we compare the two models, then the second, of course, looks more elongated., due to which it has more chances to sit perfectly on the body of almost any man.

Of course, length plays an important role in the appearance of any trousers. In the case of chinos, a man needs to try on both the first and second options in order to understand where the bottom edge of the trousers should be. Whichever length you choose - 3/4 or 7/8, it is important that the style of short pants itself looks good on you, hides all flaws and emphasizes the beauty of the figure.

As mentioned above, the very name of cropped pants comes from the English word "cotton". Indeed, at first, such an element of a men's wardrobe was sewn only from cotton, because it is practical in spring, summer and autumn, looks great with any clothes and is safe from a medical point of view.

Although the textile industry and the art of fashion designers do not stand still, chinos continue to sew from cotton - a fabric that is not only practical, but also truly stylish in any weather and with various items of clothing.

The twill weave contributes to the fact that the fabric moves as you like, but it is not elastic at all. This is where synthetic materials come to the rescue, which help the product to stretch better. It should be noted that tapered models, slim styles will be catastrophically uncomfortable if there is no room for synthetics in their fabric.

Chinos can be safely attributed to styles such as casual and smart-casual. In fact, such trousers are combined with all things from directions close to these, so there is no difficulty in choosing clothes. Ankle-length trousers allow you to combine things that really shouldn't be combined, thereby standing out from the crowd. This technique is skillfully used by fashionable young people, office workers, and creative personalities.

Pants look great with shirts from the classic collection. They can be worn outside or tucked in and tucked in the sleeves.

Blazers with a straight or slightly fitted cut, a classic or casual jumper are suitable for chinos.

A popular idea lately is to combine chinos, a shirt and a jacket with a tie or bow tie. As footwear, many young people purchase classic style shoes or casual loafers. With such a parade, you can work in the office and attend important events and special meetings.

Since the length of these trousers is open to the ankle, socks should not be forgotten.

Many young people wear socks to match the shoes or trousers; here it is important that the elastic is not visible from under the edge of the leg. You can also opt out of high-rise socks and opt for those that are not visible at all. If you want to stand out from the crowd, then bright socks with an unusual print are for you, but here it is important to take into account the general style of the image so that they really fit everything and do not look like a bright ridiculous spot.

As for shoes, chinos are combined with any of its types. For your own taste, you can choose sneakers, sneakers, shoes, lace-up boots, moccasins.
