Trousers in Focus: From Tailored to Textured
In the world of tailoring, it’s often the jacket that gets all the glory. And not without reason - generally speaking, a well tailored suit jacket has a lot of engineering that sits just beneath the surface.
However, this is no reason to ignore the humble trouser. Often the difference between a good suit and a great one, this everyday garment has the ability to truly transform your silhouette.
Here, we’re diving into the benefits of having a pair of custom trousers made in Australia, as well as explaining how you can create and wear a pair perfect for you this Winter.
Why made-to-measure trousers?
At their best, a pair of trousers will flatter the body, drawing attention to your best assets. For example, this might mean elongating your legs if you’re on the shorter side, or, conversely, balancing out your legs and torso if you have very long limbs.
In off-the-rack scenarios, while there is a degree of alteration that you can achieve, there is always a limit… we speak for ourselves when we express the frustration over a fantastic pair of jeans or trousers that are just that smidge too short and can’t be let down. In contrast, the beauty of made-to-measure is that the fabric is cut to your unique specifications, ensuring a perfect fit, every time.
The process
Speaking of the ‘how’, the Oscar Hunt process for creating a pair of tailored trousers is not dissimilar to when we create a full suit. You’ll have an initial appointment where you decide on fabrics and style and then 1-2 follow up fittings where you’ll be able to try on the finished product and make any key adjustments.
How to style trousers in Winter
When it comes to styling men’s Winter trousers specifically, we can’t look past the interplay of texture. Think contrasting tweed pants with a chambray shirt or even an Oxford button-down. We’ve also been enjoying the contrast of proportions, playing with elements like wider leg pants and then more fitted shirts, sweaters and blazers.
Accessories like chunky knit scarves, utility-leaning leather bags and lace-up boots add the perfect finishing touch (and a healthy dash of extra panache that elevates your look.)
