Top 3 Men’s Trousers for Summer Events in Australia (2026)
When it comes to dressing for Summer events, there’s no going past separates: versatile as they are stylish, they’ll hold you in good stead the entire season long. This week, we’re diving into the details of the 3 types of tailored trousers you need in Australia for silly season (and beyond). Let’s get into it!
Chinos
No article on men’s trousers in Australia would be complete without mentioning chinos. A true wardrobe workhorse, this humble item of clothing can be worn for pretty much any occasion - particularly over Summer.
However, with so many styles and colours available, it can be slightly overwhelming knowing where to start. Our recommendation is to build a foundation of three pairs: one tan, one navy and one white. Just as easy to pair with a polo shirt for an afternoon at the tennis as they are to dress up with a blazer and an Oxford button-down, these staples ensure you have all bases covered.
While the finishing styling touches are a matter of personal taste, we opt for a classic tab waist and a straight leg. A timeless look, this is a style that you’ll be able to wear for seasons to come.
Linen Trousers
When the weather heats up, chances are that you’ll be seeking a breathable pair of trousers for Summer. Here at Oscar Hunt, we look no further than linen. Comfortable, chic and slightly more dressy than chinos, these are the consummate Summer trousers for men.
From a fabrication point of view, we suggest opting for a linen blend as this maintains all the breathability of pure linen while also mitigating against the fabric’s tendency to wrinkle. Our go-tos are linen-silk and linen-cotton.
Best styled with an open neck linen or cotton shirt, this makes for a highly elegant outfit that’s perfect for an evening of cocktails or a nice dinner out.
Denim
While so far we’ve focused on tailored trousers, it’d be remiss of us not to include a classic pair of jeans in our list of Summer must haves. For the warmer weather, we lean towards a lighter wash of denim that matches a more Summer-y palette.
Styling wise, our guidance is to keep it simple and classic: think a white tee, or a chambray shirt paired with either loafers or a pair of sand shoes.
