In fact, pleats are folds, made with an internal seam, to shape a garment. They can be double, for an even more sophisticated nuance, or single, which guarantee the right width for an unparalleled feeling of comfort.
Lirecento offers four models of trousers with a single pleat : two for spring-summer and two for the colder seasons, respectively with different weights and fabrics.
Pinces: Style and Softness
Pleats are widely used in men's trousers because they give the garment a soft and comfortable fit. Pleats ensure that little bit of extra fabric on the upper part of the trousers, useful for feeling comfortable.
Another interesting aspect to highlight regarding trousers with pleats is that they have a bold and elegant character. Whoever wears them seems to immediately acquire a refined and “old-fashioned” style.
The return of pleated trousers
The most contemporary style of men's trousers has accustomed us to straight lines and fairly slim fits. Pleats, on the other hand, are making a comeback and men themselves are choosing and requesting them because they add that extra touch of personality to every outfit. A return to the past, in short: trousers were originally created with pleats and pockets because they were functional in the world of manual work. Only later were they adopted by the most elegant environments and that's where the collective imagination returns every time we see a classy man dressed in trousers with pleats .
Trousers with or without pleats
Flat-front trousers entered the male wardrobe no earlier than the mid-1900s. They are suited to slim, well-proportioned male figures and certainly have a more casual and versatile character. It may seem more difficult than expected to get used to a softer style now, but the truth is that trousers with pleats are essential in every man's wardrobe , among the elegant garments to wear to the office and for formal appointments. These models, however, leave room for fun in the choice of combinations : combined, for example, with a heavy wool sweater with a high neck, they can be transformed into trousers for free time, for a Sunday lunch in the countryside or an autumn walk with friends.
