Baggy Pants Are Back in Style

Last September, in our fall issue of GQ Style, we introduced two new silhouettes we dubbed "The New Proportions." First, the oversized overcoat, which when worn with slim pants gives the outerwear a more dramatic (we might say epic) feel. Then we heralded the re-introduction of a baggier pair of pants.

In the world of men's style, this is big news, because eighteen months ago, loose-fitting trousers and giant overcoats were basically extinct. But what we showed is that, when paired with slim fitting clothes up top, relaxed-fit pants can create an easy-going but still absolutely put-together look that feels new and kinda cutting edge.
