Are you looking to add some sophistication and distinction to your look? Consider incorporating some high waisted pants into your wardrobe. Men tend to be suspicious of high fashion, but male runway and cover models have been rocking this style of pants for years, and your favorite professional athletes, rappers and rock stars are starting to catch on as well.

How high should your pants’ waist be? Truth be told, that’s up to you, your comfort level and your body type, but generally, the longer your legs, the higher your waistband can be. If you’re more conservative with your style, you can just rock a pair of high waisted chinos – long a favorite of military wear – but if you’re feeling adventurous, opt for baggier pants or pants with a flare cut at the leg.
To help you get started, here are some of our favorite high waisted pants for men:
Dickies EDS Signature Scrubs
Dickies
Who said high-waisted pants have to be stuffy or formal? We love the EDS Signature Scrubs from Dickies for their casual cool looks and total comfort. The drawstring waist makes pulling them on a breeze, while the cotton-polyester fabric is both breathable and durable.

H&M Cargo Joggers
H&M
Invoke some military styling with these affordable Cargo Joggers from H&M. The deep side pockets and cargo styling harken to the cargo pants’ military past, but the baggy fit is all modern. Don’t be fooled by the loose styling, though: these pants run true to size.

Todd Snyder Japanese Relaxed Workwear Chino
Todd Snyder
The style of these Todd Snyder chinos harkens to an older French military cut, but the oversized fit and pleating lend it a relaxed look suitable for everyday wear. The fabric is ultra-soft Japanese cotton, making these pants very breathable and comfortable, and even the buttons are of premium quality, made from genuine melamine.
