Your 2017 Denim Alternatives
Three fresh styles to add to your arsenal of pants.
At the moment, menswear is embracing comfort like never before. We seem to be reaching peak coziness, but we're not complaining. Especially when the result is clothing that is made to move with you, not against you. Case in point: the new crop of pants cut from fabric that has been blessed with a small percentage of stretch. A little elastane goes a long way, it seems. Because pulling on a pair of cotton chinos, five-pocket twill pants or some proper trousers with 2% stretch will make you feel like you can lunge or lounge, bend and twist without ever feeling pinched or constricted. It's a freeing feeling that gives you a surprising boost of confidence and it's why you'll find yourself wearing these pants all the time. With a button-down or a sweater at the office or on a date, and with a simple sweatshirt or denim jacket on your days off. Here are ten guaranteed to get you moving.
