Men's Elasticated Waist Trousers
Mens elasticated waist trousers give you comfort without a belt: straight and tapered drawstring trousers, cargo styles with deep pockets, quick-dry joggers and a warm fleece-lined tartan pair.
Comfort that still looks smart
An elastic waist with a drawstring adjusts through the day, so the trousers never dig in after lunch or on a long drive. Straight and tapered cuts keep the look tidy enough for a casual office.
Mens drawstring trousers in cotton
The cotton straight-leg pair feels breathable and works with a polo or a knit for smart-casual days.
Cargo and joggers
Cargo styles carry your phone and keys, and quick-dry joggers are made for travel, walks and the gym.

Frequently asked questions: Men's Elasticated Waist Trousers
Can you wear elasticated waist trousers smart?
Yes, if you pick a clean straight or tapered leg in black, grey or navy. Wear them with a knitted polo or a crisp shirt and leather loafers, and the drawstring hides under a loose top. Cargo and jogger styles are better kept for casual days and travel.
What is the difference between joggers and drawstring trousers?
Joggers usually have cuffed ankles and a sporty feel, made for comfort and movement. Drawstring trousers keep the elastic waist but have an open hem and a more tailored straight or tapered leg, so they look closer to chinos. This page has both, plus cargo styles with extra pockets.
Do elasticated waist trousers need a belt?
No, that is the main idea: the elastic and drawstring hold them in place all day, so they stay comfortable when you sit, drive or travel. Most styles still look neat with the top tucked in, and the drawstring lets you adjust the fit if the waistband feels loose.
How do I wash drawstring trousers?
Tie the drawstring in a loose bow before washing so it does not slip back into the waistband. Wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with similar colours, and hang them to dry to protect the elastic. Fleece-lined styles dry best flat or on a line, never on a hot radiator.
