When you\u2019re looking for smart men\u2019s trousers in larger sizes, it\u2019s rarely enough for the waist size to simply be listed on the label. The trousers also need to fit properly around the stomach, allow room around the thighs and seat, and still look smart as the day goes on. This is precisely where Sunwill often becomes an attractive option for many men.<\/p>\n\n
Sunwill is known for its classic trousers, with a focus on comfort, clean lines and fabrics that retain their shape. This is particularly important in larger sizes, because a good fit is not just about appearance, but also about freedom of movement and feeling comfortable all day long.<\/p>\n\n
Within the Sunwill range of trousers for larger men\u2019s sizes, certain styles recur. They differ not only in style, but also in fabric, stretch and how formal they feel when worn. Some are almost like classic suit trousers, whilst others are closer to chinos or jeans.<\/p>\n\n
Many people choose Sunwill because its range spans from smart and practical styles to more casual ones. This makes it easier to find one style for the office and another for leisure, without having to compromise on the fit.<\/p>\n\n
The Extreme Flex Modern Fit is one of the styles that many people notice first. These are trousers with a smart look, but with significant stretch in the fabric. This style is ideal for men who want to look smart without the stiff feel you sometimes get with more traditional trousers. The style is also available in larger sizes at selected retailers.<\/p>\n\n
Coloursafe Modern Fit chinos are another popular choice. Here, the look is a little more relaxed, but still smart enough for work, dinner or a family gathering. The fabric is typically cotton with a touch of elastane, and in some versions the surface has been treated to make it more resistant to dirt and light moisture. This makes them practical for everyday wear.<\/p>\n\n
The Traveller Bistretch Modern Fit is at the slightly more classic end of the range. It features a wool-blend fabric with stretch that feels light and comfortable, even when worn for many hours. For men who spend a lot of time sitting down, are often on the move, or want a smart pair of trousers for both meetings and events, this is a style that often makes sense.<\/p>\n\n
Super Stretch Fitted jeans stand out a little because they have a slimmer fit. They can certainly be a good choice in larger sizes, but it depends on your body shape and personal preference. If you have fuller thighs or prefer a bit more room, a modern fit will often feel more comfortable from day one.<\/p>\n\n
The fit is the factor that most often determines whether a pair of trousers becomes a favourite or ends up at the back of the wardrobe. In Sunwill\u2019s range, you\u2019ll come across terms such as modern fit<\/em> and slim fit<\/em>. They sound simple, but you can really feel the difference when you put the trousers on.<\/p>\n\n For many people, the modern fit is the safe choice. It offers a classic men\u2019s fit with a good balance between roominess and shape. The trousers aren\u2019t as loose-fitting as traditional \u2018comfort fit\u2019 styles, but they don\u2019t feel unnecessarily tight around the thighs and knees either. For larger sizes, this is often the fit that most people feel comfortable in.<\/p>\n\n A fitted cut is slimmer. It can work well, especially if the fabric has plenty of stretch, but it\u2019s a bit more demanding in terms of both size and body shape. If you have a bit of extra volume around your thighs or calves, a fitted cut can quickly feel tighter than the name might initially suggest.<\/p>\n\n Some men need extra room around the waist. Trousers with an elasticated waistband or a partially elasticated back can be a great help here.<\/p>\n\n After a few attempts, the differences usually start to make sense:<\/p>\n\n It\u2019s also worth checking how the trousers are cut at the front. A pair of trousers may have the correct waist measurement, but still feel wrong if they sit low on the waist or are tight across the hips. Many larger men find that a slightly higher waist and some stretch make a bigger difference than the actual number on the size label.<\/p>\n\n A good size guide<\/a> It doesn\u2019t start with the size, but with the tape measure. If you want to get it right first time, you should measure at three points<\/a>: waist, hips and inside leg length. The waist is measured horizontally around the body; the hips are measured at the widest point; and the inside leg length is measured from the crotch down.<\/p>\n\n It sounds simple, but small errors can quickly become apparent in practice. If you measure too tightly or over thick clothing, you can easily end up with a size that\u2019s too tight when worn. You should therefore only wear light clothing, stand naturally and let the tape measure follow the contours of your body without pulling it tight.<\/p>\n\n As a rule of thumb, this correlation between waist measurement and size can be seen in several size guides for this type of trousers:<\/p>\n\n The table is a good starting point, but it cannot be relied upon in isolation. A modern, stretchy fit will often feel more roomy than trousers made from a tightly woven fabric. Conversely, a fitted style may require a little more care, even when the measurements look correct.<\/p>\n\n If you\u2019re between two sizes, it\u2019s often best to think about how you\u2019ll be wearing them. If the trousers are to be worn for long working days, many hours in the car or a party where you\u2019ll be sitting down a lot, many people opt for the larger size. If the fabric is very stretchy, the smallest size may still work just fine.<\/p>\n\n A good tip is to measure a pair of trousers you already like. Lay them flat on a table, measure the waist and compare it with the product measurements. This often gives a more useful indication than simply going by a general size label.<\/p>\n\n The fabric is hugely important, especially in larger sizes. When the fabric works with the body rather than against it, the trousers feel lighter, look better and are more comfortable throughout the day. This is one of the reasons why stretch fabric features in so many Sunwill styles.<\/p>\n\n With the Extreme Flex and Super Stretch models, the key feature is precisely that the fabric can stretch in several directions and then return to its original shape. This makes a big difference around the knees, seat and waist. The trousers still look smart, even after prolonged wear.<\/p>\n\n Traveller Bistretch has another strength. It often features a wool blend, which gives it a more classic look whilst ensuring a comfortable temperature when worn. This type of fabric is ideal for the man who wants a smart pair of trousers but doesn\u2019t want to walk around feeling wrapped up in stiff material.<\/p>\n\n Chinos made from cotton with a touch of elastane strike a good balance. They are neither as formal as proper suit trousers nor as casual as jeans. That\u2019s why they work well for both work and leisure. When a style also has stain- or water-repellent properties, it becomes even more practical for everyday life in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n The details matter too. Slanted front pockets, piped back pockets, belt loops and a smart fastening all help to make the trousers look more smart. In larger sizes, it\u2019s an advantage when the cut is well thought out, so that the pockets and seams don\u2019t pull askew.<\/p>\n\n The right choice depends less on buzzwords and more on how you actually wear your trousers. Some people need one pair that can be worn for almost any occasion. Others would rather have two or three different styles, so they have something for the working week, the weekend and more formal occasions.<\/p>\n\n If you want to make the choice easier, start by thinking about your everyday life first and your style second. That usually leads to the best purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n
