Hardwearing and functional, cargo trousers are a top choice for all seasons. Great for getting outdoors but equally comfortable for simply relaxing in.

Pair with a simple top and sturdy boots or trainers.

Chinos are a staple for every man's wardrobe and come into their own in the warmer months. They are the definition of 'smart-casual' as they are equally good as an alternative to denim as they are to tailored trousers.

Roll up the hem for a carefree summer look. For a winter outfit choose a darker colour than the usual stone shades.

Bootcut, straight or loose fit jeans – there's something for everyone. Dress them up, dress them down, wear them to the park with the kids or to the bar with your mates. These jeans are the most versatile bottoms you'll have in your wardrobe.

A darker wash lends itself to a smarter look for a night out, especially when worn with your favourite 'going out' shirt.

Smart trousers tend to be more tailored and are much better suited for work or for taking your other half to a smart dinner venue.

Smart trousers are best worn with a shirt and for an extra sleek look wear a jacket too.

Men's shorts come in all shapes, lengths and fabrics so you need to choose a pair that work for the occasion, whether that's swimming, relaxing or going out.

Give your shorts a try as evening wear by wearing a tailored pair with a simple T-shirt or casual shirt and a blazer.
