Light Grey Trousers

A discreet and elegant trouser

Much more than a passing trend, these light grey trousers are a versatile piece that adapts to every style. Wear them as a full suit with the matching jacket for a formal look, or mix and match: they pair beautifully with navy, burgundy, or even olive green jackets.

Its signature? A wide waistband with an off-center closure, a subtle nod to the seventies, enhanced by discreet side adjusters. Designed for mid-season, it follows you everywhere: from the office to the weekend. For a formal look, pair it with a crisp white shirt. For a more relaxed style, opt for a knitted polo.

In a nutshell,

The light grey trousers stand out for their cut and wide, off-center waistband—a tribute to the 1970s. Their supple, durable twill, 5 cm cuffs, and outward-facing pleat add weight for a perfect drape. The side adjusters ensure a precise fit all day long.

 

The fabric

The draper

Drago is a renowned Italian mill, recognized in the world of tailoring for the quality of its wool fabrics. Founded in Biella, in the heart of Piedmont, Drago perpetuates a tradition of textile excellence, combining innovation with respect for artisanal know-how. Drago fabrics are prized for their soft hand, clean drape, and durability, making each piece a safe choice for connoisseurs of fine cloth.

The composition

These trousers are made from 100% wool twill, a fabric appreciated for its robustness and suppleness. Twill is distinguished by its fine diagonal ribs, created by a specific weave that crosses the warp and weft threads. This structure gives the fabric greater resistance to wear, a fluid drape, and the ability to hold a crease, while remaining comfortable and breathable. Ideal for mid-season trousers, twill offers the perfect balance between structure and lightness.

The colour

Light grey is a versatile and timeless shade, easy to pair with most colours in a man’s wardrobe. It brings brightness to the silhouette and works just as well for formal outfits as for more relaxed looks. This colour choice highlights the twill’s texture and underlines the modernity of the trousers, while remaining discreet and elegant.

Options

The shape

The single outward-facing pleat is a subtle detail that brings comfort and ease to the trousers. It slightly widens the thigh, offering greater freedom of movement while maintaining an elegant line. This type of pleat is particularly suited to men seeking comfort without sacrificing style.

The waistband

The 6 cm wide waistband is a distinctive feature, inspired by vintage tailoring. Its off-center two-button closure adds a touch of originality and subtly defines the waist. The side adjusters allow you to fine-tune the fit without needing a belt.

The cuffs

The 5 cm cuff at the hem adds weight and structure to the trousers, ensuring a perfect drape. This subtle detail enhances the elegance of the cut and helps balance the silhouette.

The Italian pockets

The slanted Italian front pockets are a classic of tailored trousers. Their elegant, discreet shape makes it easy to slip your hands in, while maintaining a clean line.
