High-waisted men’s pants with pleats: the trend for next autumn winter

High-waisted pants with pleats are back in the news, since they are one of the fall-winter trends.

If until a few years ago on the catwalks it was possible to notice mostly tight pants and essential lines, currently darts represent something entirely current. Indeed, fashion seems to be making a change of course, in a sort of rapprochement with tradition.

Throughout the entire history of fashion , pants for men have almost always featured pleats. Those without them have in fact only become popular since the mid-20th century, only to experience a period of stop in the 1980s coinciding with the advent of the Baggy Style, where pleats were back in the limelight.

Subsequently, slim, close-fitting lines had regained the scene, but in recent years darts have begun to make a comeback.

There are good reasons to choose pants with pleats. But the more slim and tight-fitting ones can still make those with a certain type of physique look good. Much in fact depends on the build of the person who has to wear them.

What are darts and what are they used for?

Darts are inseam pleats. They are useful for being able to shape or shrink a certain garment.

They can be single or double darts. In pants, the single dart provides a more comfortable fit, while the presence of two darts offers not only great comfort but also even greater elegance. However, these are general indications, because even some pants without darts can offer a certain elegance and comfort, especially when worn by the people best suited to do so.

I pants with pleats are also very comfortable for those who have a tendency to often put their hands in their pockets, or put some objects in them. In fact, these pleats prevent the fabric from being pulled too tightly, thus avoiding ruining the silhouette of the garment in question.

Pants without darts create a more fitted type of fit, and for this reason are more suitable for the drier physiques. For more robust physiques, on the other hand, slimmer, close-fitting pants may be suitable to wear only if they are tailored. But even in the latter case, they bring out more of the wearer’s eventual belly.

Who looks good in high-waisted pants with pleats

High-waisted pants with darts, as highlighted above, are one of autumn-winter’s trendy garments.

Previously, we explained that pants with a single dart look good on anyone who likes to be comfortable. While those with two darts not only offer good comfort, but also tend to give even more elegance.

In general, pleated pants are a must for gentlemen over 50, but they give a lot of charm to younger people as well.

Only the leanest physiques with poorly muscular legs can wear tight, dartless pants with ease, unless they are tailored.

And yet, darts aside, who do high-waisted pants look good on? Practically everyone. In fact, according to experts, when wearing pants it is important to pay attention to whether they come in line with the iliac bone, since a low waist creates an unkempt effect.

As for the cuff at the bottom of the pants, if for those without darts it is better that there is no cuff (so as not to break the linearity of the garment), the matter is different for pants with darts: in the latter case the cuff at the bottom of the leg has an important ornamental function, which contributes to the beauty and elegance of the pants as a whole.
