Minimalist Men's Pants Collection (Only 6 Pairs)

Рет қаралды 304,986

Күн бұрын

These are the six pairs of pants every guy needs in his closet. With just these six pairs (two pairs of trousers, two pairs of chinos and two pairs of jeans), you'll be ready for any occasion. This minimalist pants collection consists of trousers (or "slacks"), chinos and jeans - two pairs of each type of pants.
Of course, you'll probably want to own more pants than just these six pairs, but this is a great starting point. If you had to build your wardrobe from scratch, these are the pants you would want to buy first. I'll show you each pair of pants, tell you where I got them and how I like to wear them.
Do you think you could survive with just these six pairs of pants? What are your "essential" pants? What did I miss? Leave a comment below, and thanks for watching!

The word "Khaki" comes from Hindi word "Khaakh" which basically means dust or soil and these type of pants were worn by the Cops and postmen (as uniforms) most of the time in India when it was ruled by the Brits.

There are plenty of youtube videos about how to hem men's trousers (by men and/or women). You need to learn how to do 'slipstitch', which is for proper trousers, and barely shows if done well (jeans need machine stitching to look right). One reel of cotton, one sewing needle, one tape measure, and you're away...total cost, about £5

@martintanz9098 4 жыл бұрын

When I was a student, I totally could get by with 5 or 6 pairs of pants. 2 pair of jeans, one blue and one black. Corduroy pants in brown, blue or grey. Two pairs of chino, one in khaki color, the other in grey, or blue. And one pair of charcoal grey dress pants for the occasional semi formal event. Life is more complicated as an adult who still needs the casual pants, but also needs a wardrobe full of dress pants and suits, so instead of one pair of dress pants, make it 1 pair each in light grey, dark grey, blue, tan, taupe or olive, and black, in addition to the 5 casual pants. There you have it. My "minimalist" 10 pant collection, not including suits.

For casual pants/ jeans and chinos (even though i haven't got them now or wear them) i would suggest similar to you. Yes on the black jeans but actually 3 x blue (dark, mid and light). Chinos in cream/white, tan, olive, light grey, dark grey, olive, navy. So i think i am suggesting even more chinos than you do Mid blue jeans are the ones you were non stop. Light blue great for summer. Dark important for matching with stuff and trying to be more dressy with jeans As for your chords choice. I would of said in tan, brown or olive
