Formal Pants for Men

Formal pants for men are the trousers you wear with a tucked-in shirt, a belt and leather shoes: to the office, to interviews, to weddings and to formal events. Ours are cut in our Drift fit, a straight fit that falls clean from hip to hem.

Fabric. Most are poly-viscose: a smooth blend of polyester and viscose that drapes well, resists creases and keeps its colour through a long day. Several have a little stretch for comfort when you sit for hours, and some have a fine woven texture. We also have plain 100% polyester formal trousers that are easy to wash and quick to dry.

Colours. Black, navy and grey, the three office classics, plus khaki, brown and a deep forest green for a softer look.

How to wear them. Pair black or grey formal pants with white, light blue or pink shirts; navy with white, light blue or grey; khaki and brown with white, blue or olive. Wear black leather shoes with black, grey and navy, and brown shoes with khaki and brown.

Fit and length. Check the size chart on each trouser's page. Alterations are free at every Basics Life store, so you can have the length finished to suit your shoes.
