Choosing a pair of dress trousers that are comfortable and look great can take a bit of time as there are so many style of trouser in the market today. So what’s the difference and which one is better if you’re a bigger guy with a bit of a tummy. Pleated Front Trouser Pleated trousers are the classic style of dress trouser having a fold of fabric on either side of the zipper. The benefits of pleated trousers are they give more body width, especially if you have an athletic shape, broad thighs or a wider back. Pleats benefit this body type particularly when sitting as they allow extra room making them more comfortable. Remember, when about to sit wearing dress trousers, grip the fabric half way between your thigh and knee and pull slightly upwards. Pleats also give a bit of detail to the look of the trouser. Flat Front Trouser It’s called a flat front trouser because it has no detail across the front of the trouser, no folds of fabric. Although flat front are considered a more casual business look, in my experience it’s the flat front trouser most big men prefer to wear. Flat front benefit big men for several reasons. If you have a big tummy and find trousers drop under your belly, a flat front sits neater across the front giving a more tailored look whereas the pleat creates a baggy oversize appearance. Flat front pants come in several styles so if you have big thighs, choose a pair with a wide leg, as these will hang better of your torso giving a slimmer look. You should accessorize with a belt Tailoring Most trousers have adjustable waist bands which can be altered up or down a size by a tailor. Choosing a cuff (fold at the hem) is a personal choice and not as popular, but don’t buy trousers with a cuff and un-hem them as it will alter the appearance of your trouser. But if you have trousers with no cuff, you can easily add one. When buying trousers try them, make sure the pocket sits flush against your body as these can give a baggy look and add width to your body shape if they stand out.
