LAW 3: FORMAL PANTS DESERVE MORE THAN WEDNESDAYS.

Don’t reserve formal pants for midweek misery. They’re not your "just another day at the office" trousers. When tailored right, formal pants elevate everything — from a tucked-in polo to a casual blazer.

Start with the fit: snug at the waist, clean through the legs, never pooling at the ankle. Go neutral, black, grey, navy and build from there. A sharp pair can travel from client pitch to dinner table effortlessly.

Pair formal pants with a polo T-shirt and a clean pair of leather sneakers for a smart casual look. Or wear them with a linen shirt and loafers for a relaxed yet intentional weekend vibe.

Your pants aren’t the background of your outfit. They’re half the look. Make them count.
