So, putting on pants in summer would be risky? At Hast, we don't believe it, and we intend to prove it. Style, cut, material, fabric, we will see in this article the different parameters to consider to put on a leg piece without fear of overheating. If it is necessary to take precautions to avoid hyperthermia, it is just as necessary to twist the neck of preconceived ideas and reinvest the pants in the heart of the beautiful season . What do you say?
Formal pants in summer? A formality.
Let's start at the beginning: formal pants .
As everyone knows, the summer period is also the time of ceremonies (civil partnerships, weddings, baptisms and other garden parties), and etiquette requires their guests to be refined to match the event . If the temperature prohibits a thick wool suit, fortunately it does not prohibit the wearing of trousers worthy of the name. Despite the stereotypes conveying the idea of a piece allergic to mercury surges, here are the ones we suggest to get ready in all lightness.
- Double pleated pants : in the realm of dress pants , these are undoubtedly kings. With their pleat along the leg and their double pleats at the waistband, they are by far the most " sartorial " oriented. In its beige, green or heather blue version , it will allow you to compose very sophisticated formal outfits , or to consider more casual chic combinations.
- The pleated trousers : a false twin of its predecessor, this very elegant leg piece has only one pleat on either side of the crotch. Less ornate, the top is nonetheless refined and displays a precise and secure structure. This is all the more true since the pleat joins the pleat of the trousers on the leg, which gives the overall line of the piece impeccable clarity . To offer you a range that lives up to your summer events, we have worked this model in a lovely variety of colors, from the traditional beige , blue and ecru to the more daring khaki .
Furthermore, you will not be surprised to learn that we have used top-quality natural fibers to make our formal pants. Linen, cotton, hemp and blends of materials will help you vary the pleasures to bring grain to your outfits. In the same way, the selected weaving techniques will allow you to compose more or less textured sets as desired. From the regularity of cotton-hemp canvas to the roughness of seersucker , you will truly be spoiled for choice.
A relaxed summer with our casual pants.
In a more relaxed register , you will also find something to make your legs beautiful with our spring-summer 2023 collection . Essentials of the men's wardrobe, we have indeed reserved a place of choice for the most versatile of pants: jeans and chinos . Versatile like few others, they get along wonderfully with dressy pieces as well as with their informal counterparts, which makes them absolutely indispensable.
On the one hand, denim lovers will be served with three flagship models:
- The washed jean : designed as the ideal pair of pants , it is made from a rather light Italian fabric (12 oz) and washed until it obtains this characteristic blue, both frank and deep. Inspired by the 70s , its subtly fitted cut makes it a relevant partner in all circumstances. A safe bet that goes with everything.
- The ecru five-pocket : can you get more summery? The answer is no (even if it is not forbidden to wear them after September 23). Made from organic cotton by the ineffable Italian Maison Candiani , these light jeans are to summer what the wedding cake is to the wedding to which they will accompany you. By combining an iconic design and a color that nothing and no one can find fault with, it seemed logical to obtain such a result: that of omnipotent pants that you can only love.
- Selvedge twill : a contraction of "self finished edge", selvedge is a denim manufacturing process that uses only one weft thread. This method, recognizable by its clean end often marked with a colored border, has the advantage of offering a stronger fabric . The downside: it mobilizes weaving looms and increasingly rare know-how . Made in Portugal with GOTS-certified organic cotton , the selvedge denim of our jeans weighs 15 oz, and has a look that you won't find on every street corner.
On the other hand, chinos enthusiasts can count on:
- Classic models in 100% cotton : worked in a 260 g/m2 cotton gabardine , they are available in ecru , olive green , navy blue , beige , forest green , pale blue , brick , plum and brown . A rich and luminous panel that will highlight your legs for a colorful style. With its slightly fitted cut , it will enhance your elegant or casual outfits with disconcerting ease.
- Summer models in cotton-linen : 76% cotton, 24% linen, an airy fabric of 185 g/m2, this is the recipe for the lightest of our chinos. By combining the versatility of this iconic piece and the thermoregulating capacities of such an alloy, it stands out as the conductor of your summer creations. In light khaki , beige or indigo , don't hesitate to combine it with your favorite pieces to reveal its full potential.
A word about our shorts?
We wanted to stick to pants , but we can't resist the temptation to quickly tell you about our shorts . This year, in addition to our classic shorts, you will find some truly exceptional examples. Not only have we declined our traditional models in a cotton-linen version, in order to offer you a more breathable and textured alternative, but we have also imagined a dressy range with sartorial influences. In khaki , indigo or natural ecru , we invite you to discover our pleated shorts and their sophisticated finishes , proof, if proof were needed, that this piece is not at odds with elegance.
It's your turn to have a nice season in pants.
With summer just a few days away, we thought it was important to remind you that pants aren't doomed to hibernation throughout the summer season. By playing with cuts, materials and fabrics, you can dress your legs without worrying about fever, no matter your style.
