Don't be surprised by the title, haha. I didn't intentionally use clickbait; I just wanted to test if you really dislike titles like this, to see if you're secretly flirtatious or openly so, haha~~

Getting back to the main topic! This article mainly discusses choosing men's trousers and the rules for styling different types of trousers. The style leans towards simple and basic, making it suitable for fashion beginners!

01

shorts

Some people might think that wearing shorts doesn't look like a proper person. While it might not be appropriate to wear them to work, they are still a must-have for everyday casual wear. They are casual, cool, and stylish. After all, in the hot summer, you need to give yourself some breathing room to feel cool and comfortable.

Choosing shorts is more difficult than choosing long pants and is also the easiest to make a mistake.

① Length : There are two main types of shorts: capri and three-quarter length. Capri is about a few centimeters above the knee, while three-quarter length is about the middle of the calf.

I don't recommend choosing capri pants. They make you look shorter and dowdy. Don't tell me Edison Chen looks good in them; without that face, they would definitely look worse. Capri pants look clean and neat, and they can also visually lengthen your height.

② Fabric : When choosing fabric for summer shorts, breathability and sweat-wicking properties are paramount, as are skin-friendliness and comfort. Denim is not recommended for shorts due to its heat. Cotton, linen, and silk are better choices. We've categorized fabrics into five main types to explain their advantages and disadvantages, allowing you to choose according to your needs.

③ Style : Although shorts are simple, the styles are not simple. There are a wide variety of styles to choose from for these small shorts.

With so many styles, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Even if you're trying to see something clearly through a fog or in water, we still want you to be able to see the style and cut of the shorts.

Five-quarter pants are quite demanding in terms of body shape, so it's recommended to choose simpler styles of shorts.

● Choose slightly loose pants, ideally with enough room to fit two or three fingers inside. This will flatter your leg shape. Avoid wearing pants that are too tight and reveal your underwear, as this will affect your appearance. Make sure to leave some space around your hips; avoid both tight and loose fits.

● For overweight people, wearing tight pants makes them look very cramped and exposes their excess fat. For thin people, wearing tight pants makes them look like sticks and easily makes them look effeminate and lacking in masculinity.

● While overly loose pants can conceal your figure, wearing pants that are too big will make your hips stand out. Loose pants not only make your buttocks look bigger, but they will also make you look shorter.

Five-inch shorts paired with a T-shirt or shirt, as long as the colors aren't too flashy, a neat hairstyle, and a pair of white sneakers, are both cool and simple to look good.

For men who never pay attention to their appearance, the first step to becoming handsome is to keep themselves clean. A simple and refreshing short haircut, neatly trimmed eyebrows, a clean and non-greasy face, a simple loose shirt in summer with a round neck T-shirt underneath, basic shorts, and a pair of white sneakers looks much better than messy hair, a wrinkled T-shirt, and flip-flops.

For those with a bit of fashion sense, layering a long-sleeved shirt over a shorter top or using a longer inner layer with a shorter outer layer adds depth. The combination of shorts on the bottom and a long-sleeved top is very common, and although most people think it's a bit crazy, it's undeniably popular among fashion enthusiasts!

Classic blue jeans

These jeans are a timeless classic. Even Steve Jobs, a typical tech-savvy business tycoon who calculated time in seconds, was always seen wearing jeans on various occasions, which shows how classic and versatile they are.

Classic blue jeans are timeless and versatile, a true denim staple besides black jeans. They look clean and crisp when paired with white, and sophisticated when combined with black. Since you'll be wearing them frequently, it's advisable to invest in a good, high-quality pair. A good pair of jeans will truly live up to its value.

The ideal fit for pants is one that allows for fullness in the crotch and hip area, beautifully showcasing your figure. Tight pants are uncomfortable and don't create the desired effect. Understanding your own body shape is key to finding the perfect fit.

Not wearing tight pants doesn't mean you should always wear loose ones. Loose pants are an option, but there needs to be a limit. While those drop-crotch pants may feel comfortable and look great on hip-hop and rappers, the impression of stage attire is vastly different from how they look in everyday life. Wearing them will only make you look shorter and less energetic. Especially for shorter people, overly loose drop-crotch pants are strongly discouraged!

For students, a pair of regular loose-fitting pants, two T-shirts (longer inside, shorter outside) or a hoodie, a pair of simple basic canvas shoes, a backpack or canvas bag, and a simple accessory or watch are enough. In my eyes, this is the youthful and sunny feeling that students should have.

Rolling up your pant legs creates an inverted triangle shape, which visually makes you look slimmer and taller. This is especially useful for loose-fitting pants that are too big or too long.

The model in the picture is quite tall. The drop-crotch pants on the left make her body look disproportionate. The high-waisted style on the right is also not recommended. When tucking a T-shirt or shirt into your pants, it is recommended to tuck it in first and then pull it out to cover the belt. Long T-shirts with spliced ​​letter designs are also not recommended as they look childish.

Black jeans

Black jeans are the undisputed king of jeans, a versatile staple that everyone owns. Basically, if you're unsure what pants to wear, just pull out a pair of black jeans, and the overall look will be pretty good.

These jeans are suitable for all seasons and can be worn year-round. The only downside is that they can be a bit stuffy in the summer. In summer, you can choose jeans made of relatively thinner fabric, but this will make the jeans wrinkle easily and deform over time. Therefore, when choosing jeans, be sure to select those with good quality and a good fit, and pay close attention to washing and storing them to extend their lifespan.

For those who have no idea how to put together an outfit, in early spring you can wear a crew neck T-shirt with a shirt or hoodie, straight-leg jeans, and canvas shoes, sneakers, or dress shoes. If it's cold, you can wear a jacket over it (denim jacket, corduroy jacket, leather jacket, etc.). It's simple, basic, and hard to go wrong with!

There's a common misconception when choosing denim items: that heavy jeans are necessarily of good quality. In fact, heavy jeans aren't always of good quality. Well-made jeans, even if they are lightweight, are not easily deformed.

Light-colored ripped jeans

Ripped jeans are a type of denim that showcases individuality. Relatively speaking, this item may be somewhat age-restricted. However, in the hot summer, ripped jeans can provide excellent ventilation and breathability. These jeans do not have fancy decorations; the simple ripped effect adds to the appeal of ordinary jeans.

When buying ripped jeans, don't just go for the flashy look and buy really bad ones to show off your personality. Otherwise, your mom will think you can't afford pants. Friends who like to wear ripped jeans should know that even a small hole on jeans will get bigger and bigger with repeated wear. The style of jeans can change from the leftmost style to the rightmost style. Therefore, it is recommended that you buy ripped jeans with small and not flashy holes.

I've mentioned pants repeatedly before; keep your bottoms simple. Pants like the ones shown below are best thrown away immediately—it's 2020, and these are still being sold online! It's shocking! These pants aren't just ugly; they're utterly aesthetically pleasing and an eyesore. Wearing them will automatically keep people at least three steps away. If you think this makes you feel energetic, powerful, and intimidating, I suggest carrying two large swords on your back for even more impact and style. Don't try to be cool with these eyesore pants.

02. Casual Pants

Investment advice: essential

Suitable occasions: Casual everyday life

When choosing casual pants for summer, opt for a relatively loose fit with some breathability to avoid feeling stuffy. They are very comfortable to wear in the hot summer. There are also many different styles of casual pants, such as straight leg, skinny, and harem pants, offering a variety of options.

For those new to fashion, straight-leg and slim-fit styles are the best choice. If you want to stay cooler, you can choose pants made of linen, cotton, or nylon, and opt for colors like khaki, gray, or army green, which are versatile and easy to wear.

Gray-green casual pants

In my opinion, sophisticated gray is a very gentle color, a sophisticated and versatile color that is hard to go wrong with.

As a versatile basic style, beige, gray, khaki, and gray-green trousers are very easy to match and look clean. For straight men or programmers who are too lazy to spend time on matching, these versatile trousers are perfect for summer. Pair them with a T-shirt, shirt, canvas shoes, or retro running shoes, and shave off any stubble. Just make sure you look neat.

03. Dress pants

Investment advice: essential

Suitable occasions: Formal occasions as well as casual everyday life

If I only had one pair of pants in my wardrobe, I would definitely choose dress pants. They are useful for formal occasions and comfortable for everyday casual wear. They look great with T-shirts, polo shirts, shirts, jackets, trench coats, suits, and more. There are also many colors to choose from, making them a versatile wardrobe staple.

Casual trousers can be paired with various tops without looking out of place, which is enough to demonstrate their versatility and practicality. They can be styled in a variety of ways without any problem.

It's still the same foolproof outfit template: a crew neck T-shirt as a base layer, paired with a shirt or polo shirt, worn alone or with a jacket on top.

Layering in an outfit can be achieved through color or fabric progression. Color options include transitions between light and dark shades, or black, white, and gray—creating a harmonious balance. A black base layer with a white shirt and a black coat is simple, easy to learn, and adds depth to the overall look. Progressive use of materials is very common in winter outfits, which we'll discuss in more detail later.

04. Sweatpants

Investment advice: essential

Suitable occasions: casual everyday life and outdoor sports

For those who prioritize comfort, sweatpants are an absolute must-have, offering the highest level of comfort among these types of pants. They're essential for outdoor activities like running and basketball, and also come in handy for relaxing at home. Sweatpants can be broadly categorized into two types: those with elasticated cuffs and those without.

Jogger style

Whether it's jogger pants or cargo pants, it's recommended to pair them with high-top socks when wearing low-top shoes, or with high-top canvas shoes or sneakers. When matching, you can try different colors to match. For example, a white T-shirt can match white shoes, which will give a simple and unobtrusive overall feel.

Straight-leg style

For boys who like a sporty style, it's best to choose pants made of silk or natural fiber fabrics that are absorbent and breathable. Cotton and linen also have good moisture absorption and breathability. In summer, pants that are not breathable are not only uncomfortable to wear, but can also cause embarrassing conditions like red spots and prickly heat. Well-wicking sports pants will prevent your genitals from getting soaked after a game of basketball. After all, a refined boy should always pay attention to his style, and playing basketball is no exception!
