German Leisure Men's BENBO Binbao ---- Third Pants Rubik's Cube

Casual pants rolled up just above the knee reveal a glimpse of seven leggings, creating a bold and eye-catching look perfect for any party.

This modern twist on traditional trousers features a 3D waist cut that adds style to professional attire without sacrificing comfort.

A bold and striking design, this piece simply swaps out the regular zipper for something more attention-grabbing.

Country-style pants aren’t just for women anymore. Heavier cotton fabrics with a burlap texture are making a strong comeback, appealing to both genders.

The slightly tapered silhouette hints at harem pants but softens the hippie vibe, offering a more refined take on casual wear.

Every man should own three types of pants: dress pants, jeans, and casual trousers. Dress pants help you shine in professional settings, jeans let you express your freedom, and casual trousers allow you to be yourself.

——Ben Largerfeld, German design master

The idea of “the third pair of pants” was born in the early 1980s. Designed by Ben Largerfeld and his right-hand man Kenbo, the BENBO brand introduced the concept and quickly gained popularity with its classic cotton casual pants. These were made from high-quality cotton and used the latest NostaWash process to create a comfortable, nostalgic feel. Largerfeld’s German precision is evident in every detail, as he reimagined traditional trousers into a more flattering, three-dimensional fit. This design became a hit among German young professionals.

Over the past two decades, even though men's fashion has evolved much slower than women's, and changes in pants have been less dramatic, looking at this season’s casual trousers compared to last year’s shows a clear shift. Casual pants are no longer just a seasonal staple—they’re now a statement piece, showing off personality and a fresh, vibrant look.

This season, color isn’t the main focus. Designers have moved away from bright hues, opting instead for low-key luxury shades like sapphire blue, court purple, and smoky gray. These colors offer a more mature, versatile look that suits a wide range of ages.

Secondly, variety is key this season. While slim pencil pants remain popular, we’re also seeing more diverse styles like harem pants, wide-leg trousers, and more. Even within the same brand, you can find multiple casual pant styles in one collection.

The real highlight of this season’s men’s casual pants lies in the styling. Mixing tops with bold patterns, gradient colors, and layered looks is exciting, but the real trend is combining casual pants with leggings. Yes, you read that right—leggings. Inspired by women’s tights, this unexpected pairing brings a fresh, modern edge. It’s not too feminine; it’s just different and stylish.

Interestingly, this fresh look was introduced by BENBO, who softened their traditionally serious image while maintaining a sleek black aesthetic. Their runway featured many low-profile, relaxed-fit pants paired with creative textures and upper-body combinations. Jean Paul Gaultier, known for his avant-garde approach, took it even further—models wore corsets over slacks or split the lower half for a daring effect.
