05 Feb How and when can I wear cropped trousers?

Work

Suits with cropped trousers, such as the signature Hemingway, are the ideal concession for summer office wear. The tapered leg paired with tailoring of the trousers will combine to deliver a an elegant aesthetic. Especially so when it is joined with the Hemingway jacket or waistcoat.

The cropped length also aids to better ventilation. So, when you are wearing loafers and no socks, you will feel cooler and more comfortable during the hot summer months, without ignoring your work dress code.

Play

How you dress in your private time is ultimately your choice, as there are no rules. A cropped trousers like the Chinin orange, however, can be a fun way to spruce up your time off from work. Wear it with a T-shirt and braces to ensure a punk look. You can also wear a plain shirt.

As for your feet, loafers, flip flops or casual pumps are the way to go. Avoid socks entirely.

These trousers can also be worn in the winter, simply pair it with a pair of good dress boots. The look is yours to make with what you want.

Formal

Cropped trousers should not deter at a formal occasion. With ankle-grazers, such a the Hamilton skinny-fit cropped tapered black trouser, you are easily able to elevate the outfit to black-tie standards.

Match it with a jacket, waistcoat, formal white shirt and loafers, and you will look the part for any occasion.

It’s important to remember that rules apply regardless: dress smart for the office, waistcoats and jackets for formal occasions, with matching footwear.
