Men's pleated trousers in relaxed straight and wide-leg shapes. Compare the Henley and Mortlake for work, dinner and everyday smart-casual outfits, then use each product's size guide to choose your fit.
Compare our pleated trousers
- Henley: relaxed straight leg. Double front pleats, a high waist and lightweight linen-look fabric with a soft drape.
- Mortlake: wide straight leg. A front pleat and a full-length cut in lightweight draping fabric.
Choose the leg shape you prefer, then check the product's waist measurements and current colour and size options. Linen-look describes the Henley's appearance; it is not a statement of fibre composition.
Single pleat vs double pleated trousers
A single pleat creates a subtler fold and slightly less volume. Double pleated trousers create more room through the front of the trouser, which suits relaxed tailoring and fuller straight-leg shapes especially well.
How should men’s pleated trousers fit?
The waistband should sit securely without pulling, the pleats should lie flat when standing, and there should be enough room through the seat and thigh for the fabric to drape cleanly. A relaxed straight leg keeps the shape modern, while little or no break at the hem gives the cleanest finish.
What to wear with pleated trousers
For smart casual outfits, pair pleated trousers with quarter zip jumpers, polos or knitwear. Finish with loafers, minimal trainers or Chelsea boots depending on how formal you want the outfit to feel.
