Skinny, tight-fitting pants have been advertised to make you look ‘smart’. 

But if they make you look imbalanced, trap heat, are difficult to move in and put on, and cause chaffing — how is that ‘smart’?

On top of that they even pose potential health risks by reducing blood circulation.

 

There’s a reason why the rest of the world is increasingly moving away from skinny to straight or relaxed-cut trousers.

And it’s not just about aesthetics, there are real comfort and functional reasons behind the shift.

get to know the hiraware trousers

Trousers that'll make you wonder how you ever wore skinny pants.

 

 

 

 

Cut better. Fits better. Feels better.

 

Cut & fit

Relaxed. Modern. Confident.

 

A great pair of trousers starts with its cut. But what does that mean exactly? It means your trousers are shaped so that they sit comfortably at the waist, with enough room through the legs to let you move easily, and that they make you look good.

 

hiraware trousers are cut straight and relaxed. These are cuts that look good on Asian body types and, most importantly, solve all the problems of skinny pants.

Instead of looking skinny and awkward, they give your silhouette balance between the legs and upper body – giving you presence.

 

They also allow you to move a lot more freely and feel a lot more comfortable. There’s no weird stretching of the fabric, chaffing, or thigh burn – the pants move with you easily and comfortably.

For example, the Workware trousers feature a relaxed cut that drops down straight from the waist through the hips so they look clean and sharp, but with enough room around the thigh and knees so you can move easily and naturally.

Material & construction

Cotton blends, built to last.

 

Tight, skinny pants compensate for their lack of room by using stretchy fabrics.

The problem is stretchy fabrics need synthetic materials to create the stretch. These cheaper materials just aren’t as comfortable as natural fabrics. 

Even worse, they may even be unhealthy healthy for you. Studies have shown links between polyester clothing and reduced fertility and testosterone.  

It’s just a way for big corporates to sell you cheaper low-quality stretchy materials that hide the fact that their pants are too tight and cut badly in the first place. 

 

hiraware trousers are all made with a pure natural cotton. We choose cotton because it genuinely breathes and is just superior — the fabric holds its shape better and feels cool on the skin. 

For example, the SW1 trousers use a cooling cotton twill that’s structured yet light. You immediately feel the difference once you try them on — how good the inner layer feels against the skin. All while being easy to care for thanks to the quality of the material.

 

Clothes traditionally worn in Southeast Asia have emphasised looser cuts and natural materials. hiraware trousers are designed with the same principles to keep you cool.

 

Performance

Keep cool. Move freely.

 

With the year-round heat of Southeast Asian weather, slim fit pants only worsen the situation by trapping the heat in your body, leaving you with a sticky, suffocating feeling. 

Think of clothes traditionally worn in hot countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and India. They all wore looser fitting clothes and used natural fabrics. It was to ensure that pockets of air could circulate around the body and keep you cool. 

 

hiraware trousers are designed to do the same, pairing breathable cotton fabrics with looser cuts that gives your legs, allowing air to circulate almost like a fan.

For example, we often get comments on how unexpectedly cool and breathable the SW1 trousers feel. It’s the effect that a relaxed cut and breathable fabric can bring – making it feel a few degrees cooler.

Styling

Wear it however, whenever.

 

When deciding what to wear, the average person tends to put more effort into deciding what top to put on, while thinking that anything will do trousers wise. 

You end up using the same tight, uncomfortable chinos that frankly just leave every outfit looking skinny and frail — literally shrinking your presence.

 

What people don’t realise is that trousers happen to be the foundation of any outfit.

They can radically change the look of your fit, along with the options you can build out from your wardrobe. A great pair of trousers is always a great investment.

 

hiraware trousers are designed to look good with formal shirts, casual tees, sneakers and formal leather shoes, etc. 

They are designed to be be worn to different events: going out and about your day, chilling at home, going out for dinner, coming from the office, etc.

We purposefully chose versatile muted colours that pair easily — allowing you to transform your entire wardrobe with just one great pair of trousers.

People.

Be more.

 

We get it. It can be a little daunting to try something new like a wider cut of trousers for the first time.

Don’t worry, we've all been there.

Hiraware trousers have already been bought and worn by thousands across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. 

 

You don’t have to change everything you wear, you just have to test and learn if something works for you. 

Why not give it a try? Dare to take a risk.
