Straight-cut Trousers

The style of men’s suit trousers has evolved substantially over the years, and one of the most noticeable changes of the last 50 years has been in the cut of the leg. In a straight cut trouser, the leg is not noticeably flared and the lower leg in particular is the same width all the way down.

The straight cut trouser is probably derived from the ‘boot cut’ that became popular in jeans in the 1960s. A straight cut trouser with a man’s suit can help the lean, clean silhouette of modern suit styling, and in general will work with just about any body shape.
