A FEW WORDS ABOUT CASUAL TROUSERS: JEANS, CHINOS OR GURKHAS.

Ferala Team

Today we're going to take a look at what you can wear to be stylish and relaxed at the same time. Here are some examples of pants that will help you to achieve this objective.

The famous blue jeans:

What could be nicer than a pair of classic denim trousers, that you can wear with all kinds of tops, in a chic or rock’n’roll spirit depending on your mood. Nevertheless, you need to make sure it is of good quality and that the jeans are well cut and comfortable.

For that matter, the brand BORELIO allows you to customize your jeans by offering a wide choice of fabrics, buttons, degrees of washout, the different contrast threads, your initials etc ... while offering you optimal comfort guaranteed by tailor-made.

Chinos:

This essential piece emerges from your closet every weekend and as soon as the sunny days return, is often in beige tones or with a little more fantasy depending on the season.

Today it comes in a number of fits, from the fittest to classic straight cuts that can easily fit into more formal outfits. Often made of 100% cotton (for the resistant side) or with elastane (not more than 2% to avoid deformation over time) for more comfort.

Choosing to make your chinos on made-to-measure means you will be sure to get a perfectly mastered fit and to select the right fabrics, as well as the customizations that reflect your particular style.

Straight pants:

These are the pants that you traditionally wear with your suit…but not only! Now you can combine them with a nice pair of sneakers for a more casual look that does not lose its elegant side and that makes it perfect in all situations.

It will generally be in super 130's wool from Loro Piana for the more classic four-season look or in a beautiful range of English flannel from Holland & Sherry such from the “Classic Worsted Flannel” bundle, which will allow you to let your imagination run wild by wearing trousers with patterns such as an elegant chalk stripes or even burgundy and green checks for your winter outfits.

The gurkhas:

These very fashionable trousers will, particularly during lock-down periods, allow you to be the most sophisticated person in your neighborhood.

With their high waist, their darts at the pelvis, their side adjusters instead of the belt, they have become a fashion icon. In combination with suspenders and a shirt with contrasting collar and cuffs, they will give your outfit a vintage look.

While gurkhas remain very difficult to find in ready-to-wear, we advise you to have them made by a tailor who knows how to highlight your figure in this type of pants. The gurkhas must be very well cut not to give more curves at the level of the pelvis and to be comfortable under the crotch.

Recommended fabrics:

For your made-to-measure jeans, Borelio offers a large range of denim in different thicknesses, colors and degree of wash. As for chinos, choose 100% cotton or cotton with elastane as offered in the Cotton Classics collection from Holland & Sherry. The classic straight pants can be made from 100% wool. You will also find several bundles from Loro Piana or at Dormeuil, such as the Amadeus or Amadeus Action.

The gurkhas can be ordered in a slightly vintage fabric to give more character to your pants. For this we suggest The Smarter Troussers from Loro Piana or a flannel from Holland & Sherry. See more of our suppliers.
