What men's bottom styles does Things Square offer?+β
Things Square offers men's bottoms across four subcategories β Jeans (slim-fit, straight-cut, and relaxed denim in multiple washes), Casual Pants and Trousers (chinos, formal trousers, and tailored casual trousers), Shorts (chino shorts, casual cotton shorts, and athletic shorts), and Joggers and Sweatpants (tapered joggers, slim tracksuit bottoms, and relaxed sweatpants). All styles are available across a waist size range from 28 to 44 inches.
How do I measure for men's jeans and trousers?+β
For jeans and trousers, you need two measurements. Waist: measure around your natural waist at the navel level (not the hip). Inseam: measure from the crotch seam to the ankle bone along the inside of the leg. For jeans, waist sizing in inches (e.g., 32W) and inseam in inches (e.g., 32L) are the standard format. For chinos and trousers, some products use S/M/L/XL sizing β always cross-reference against the specific product's waist measurement chart rather than assuming size correspondence with your usual clothing size.
What is the difference between joggers and sweatpants?+β
Joggers typically have a tapered leg silhouette that narrows at the ankle, often with an elasticated or ribbed cuff β creating a more fitted, contemporary look suitable for both gym use and casual smart-casual athleisure wear. Sweatpants traditionally have a wider, more relaxed leg silhouette throughout and may or may not have a cuffed ankle β designed primarily for comfort and lounge wear. In modern men's fashion, the line between the two has blurred, but as a general rule joggers are slimmer and more versatile while sweatpants are looser and more comfort-focused.
Are chinos smart enough for the office?+β
Yes β well-fitted chinos in navy, khaki, grey, or dark colours are appropriate for most smart-casual and business-casual office environments when paired with a collared shirt or smart top. For formal or conservative office environments that require dress trousers, chinos may be considered too casual β always gauge the specific workplace dress code. The key factors are fit (slim or tailored cut), condition (clean, pressed, no fraying), colour (darker and more neutral tones read smarter), and pairing (with a collared shirt and smart shoes, not a T-shirt and trainers).
What is the best casual trouser colour for men?+β
Navy and khaki (light tan) are the two most versatile casual trouser and chino colours for men β they pair with the widest range of tops and work across the most occasions. Navy chinos pair beautifully with white, grey, and most colours. Khaki chinos provide a neutral warm tone that works particularly well with navy, white, and earth tones. After building a wardrobe foundation in these two colours, olive green and mid-grey are excellent additions for colour variety while maintaining wide versatility.
