Item of the week: the relaxed suit trouser

What it is:

In what appears to be another evolution of the casualisation of the workplace, relaxed fitted suiting was a popular choice of tailoring on the SS24 runways, prevalent in both the collections of mens- and womenswear. Whether low-waisted or wide-legged, the suit trousers took on new forms for the season, also hinting at the increased presence of Gen Z in the workplace, a group looking for a more nonchalant approach to the formal wardrobe. Styles and techniques varied both in form and in full looks, some paired with matching blazers while others could be seen alongside contrasting shirting or loungewear.
