Thoughts on Beam Plus trousers? Or recs on wide trousers in general?
I've never really worn trousers before, let alone wide ones, but it seems like the pants to wear these days after seeing some Daniel Simmons and Tim Dessaint videos.. Today, I got to try on some Beams Plus trousers and they seemed all right. What are your thoughts on these? When I wear my size, I don't have the same level of crop since I'm shorter. It comes down to leave no break, and does not show my ankles. I was thinking of maybe getting their regular one and a corduroy one too.
Or... Are there better, more versatile ones, for a similar price range under $150?

Those look great!
Black can be a bit difficult tho, I'd get the beige
For corduroy, maybe a brown instead? https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/product/beams-plus/brown-pleated-trousers/13992301
How about black on non-corduroy?

And just curious.. are there some goated trousers everyone on the sub is into? Other than the issey miyake ones lol
Just black in general is hard to do with these kinds of trousers
Fine for like jeans
But pleated pants, chinos etc
It's hard to pull off black because it can look overly formal

Gimp made a good write up here
I guess the J. Crew Giant Fit Chino is kind of hype? but less for what it is as a garment, more for popularising wider pants
vintage levis, carhartt/stan ray painters or versions of, og107s and versions of them, vintage Polo Ralph Lauren cords are all frequently recommended or seen worn by people in WAYWT.
oh yeah, OG107 is very hype
I own them and I love them. Inseam is reaaaally short though so know that. I have short legs so it works
These are teh beams 2 pleats (also grabbed from Ssense last summer) https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116800072093532191/1177299051717337118

i'm pro black trousers (as the one who posted that thread asking about black chinos lol). unless i'm reading it wrong, even gimp's write up explicitly says that black is fine for casual use and his advice seemed more geared towards business casual/formal wear which i assume you won't be wearing these with. black pants are totally fine in casual or streetwear type looks, just don't try to wear em to the office lol
slight tangent to ask a related question, as I'm starting to explore a wider fit, is this ebay purchase a decent option? (I already bought, but requesting affirmation nonetheless): https://www.ebay.com/itm/186165733874

i usually wear slim, and I have skinny hips and legs, so this would already be way wider for my frame than I'm used to
Looks nice
I'm a skinny dude and used to always wear slim fit but I'm really enjoying wearing similar trousers to that one
Think this is comparable
Btw, does anyone know if Ssense is going to go even deeper on discounts after Christmas beyond the 37% they're offering on these trousers?
They went down to $141 CAD from $210 last year after what felt like months of waiting, but there's no harm in watching it and if you see one or two left in your size then jumping on it.
