Men's Red Pants

Stop right there, because we’re about to give you the lowdown on one of the boldest, baddest colors you should have in your wardrobe. Red commands attention and makes a major statement. Think you’re ready to incorporate red pants for men into your collection? Here’s some advice.

Red is an impactful color, so if you’re rocking red men’s pants, you’ll want to let them be the focal point of your outfit. With that in mind, it’s fine to keep your complementary pieces on the understated side. And remember, not every red is of the fire engine variety. Red shades run the spectrum from bright and blazing all the way to a rich mahogany.

When to go bright:

Incorporate bolder reds into athletic looks. We like the idea of men’s red sweatpants with all the extras like colorblocking and bold logos. We’d probably pair ‘em with a black, gray or white top unless you’re really going for it in all red. Headed to flag football with the guys? You’ll want to warm up (and cool down) in these so you don’t pull a hammy.

When to hit the mid-range:

We consider versatile, casual styles like joggers to be the cooler cousin of chino pants in that they’re super comfy but can also be dressed up. When styling joggers in red, we’d suggest trending towards a light crimson, carmine or maroon. These shades are best accentuated by navy, dark grey or cream.

When to choose the darker hues:

How do you wear red for more formal occasions? Choose a deep wine or burgundy hue for a sleek dress pant alternative. Because these are more modern colors, we’d stick with a contemporary theme and select slim-fit pants with a flat front instead of a classic fit. Added bonus: you can link this look up with brown or black leather accessories.
