Men's Classic Trousers

Classic fit trousers in Britain are often straight legged or gently tapered, with generous fit around the upper thighs and seat, that sit just below the natural waistline rather than the hip. Traditionally, a classic trouser is often made with heavier cloth, such as wool or corduroy, therefore the material hangs as opposed to clinging to the wearers leg. This creates a more comfortable and formal fit. Other features such as two forward facing pleats and side adjusters along a wider waistband also set classic trousers apart from more contemporary styles.

Yes, classic trousers for men are designed to be worn just underneath the lowest section of the ribcage. This is something to note when choosing your size, as most modern trousers are worn on the wearers hips and therefore this section of the body is often where people typically measure.
