STYLE GUIDE ON JEANS AND TROUSERS
The golden advice on jeans and trousers
Choose a classic shape when buying jeans. They'll last for years.
Always wash jeans with the inside out and the zipper closed. - Your jeans may be a little tight when you buy them, as they always give a little.
Pair jeans and chinos with a shirt and jacket for formal wear, and a t-shirt and cardigan for everyday.
Make sure the belt of your trousers matches the colour of your shoes.
Jeans
We have to go all the way back to the 1850s and German-American Levi Strauss to learn about the origins of cowboy trousers. Levi Strauss primarily designed jeans for hard-working miners who needed durable workwear. In the 1950s, cowboy trousers also entered the fashion world, and from the 1960s, jeans made their way around the world in earnest. Today, jeans do not deny their origins. The words 'hard-wearing' and 'durable' still hold true, and once you've bought a pair of jeans, you're future-proofed - knowing they'll last for years to come. Jeans never go out of style, so make sure you buy a pair where the cut suits you perfectly. Jeans can be worn by men of all ages and for almost any occasion. Pair them with a shirt and blazer for the fancier occasions and with a polo or T-shirt if you want to run the everyday style. Kaufmann sells designer jeans from BOSS, Sand, Replay and Jacob Cohen and Tommy Hilfiger, among others.
Chinos
The cotton canvas khaki trousers - also called chinos - are a classic. Chinos were originally used in the military, but after 2. They became part of fashion and really took off in the 80s. Today, almost every fashion company has chinos in their collections. Chinos are a notch finer than jeans - though still informal compared to dressier trousers and suits. Although chinos go well with a shirt, tie and jacket, they should never be worn for formal occasions such as weddings. Chinos have become an established part of men's fashion in recent years. As they come in almost every colour, you can choose whether you want to be classic and understated or whether you prefer a more eye-catching fashion colour. If chinos are your thing, take a look at Kaufmann's chinos from BOSS, NN07 and Polo Ralph Lauren for example.
