The most retro trouser I have ever seen is "GURKHA Pants."

Presumably we all know that many of the fall and winter wear we are wearing now originate from the war. Of course, it is also trousers. Many trousers were inspired by wartime practical ideas, and later derived a variety of versions, including the GURKHA pants.

It can be said with exaggeration that GURKHA pants are the most retro pants.

In fact, GURKHA pants are still very niche in China. Because of the complicated design of the waistline, it does not seem to meet the aesthetics of pursuing simplicity. However, this is precisely why GURKHA pants have a strong retro taste.

In this regard, there are certainly many young partners who are aggressive. What are the GURKHA pants?

The difference between the GURKHA trousers and the general trousers is its high-waist design, in which the waist belts with their own fasteners are added on both sides of the waist, so the belt is not used when wearing it. In addition, there is a double pleat design in front, which is undoubtedly the embodiment of GURKHA pants retro sense. Later, many retro khaki pants developed from this, but generally retain the double pleat design and omit the high waist section.

Wartime pragmatism, postwar romantic retro

GURKHA Pants was born during World War II British occupation of North Africa and India. Because GURKHA also refers to Gurkhas (the main ethnic group in Nepal), many people think that GURKHA pants are traditional Nepalese clothes. Actually, it originated from the British traditional military clothing, but it is also closely related to the Gurkhas.

Because during the occupation of India, the British met with the Gurkhas. Although the British eventually won the victory, their bravery and bravery left a deep impression on the British. Subsequently, the United Kingdom began publicly recruiting Gurkhas for their own operations.

The GURKHA trousers were specially designed for the Gurkhas by the British and were named after "GURKHA".

As you can see, the original GURKHA trousers were mainly in the form of linen shorts, with high-waisted pleats and waistbands, mainly for the convenience of movement. The linen material was adapted to the hot climate of India.

In the 70s and 80s, GURKHA shorts became popular in the United States. Because of its lightweight fabrics and comfortable cuts, it became the first choice for summer vacations.

Seeing this may be a lot of people will Tucao, it is still cold you introduce me to shorts why?

Don't worry.

Since then, GURKHA trousers have gradually increased because of the convenience of wearing. Not less than shorts, because of the trousers plus a few retro pleats after the romantic feeling, to adapt to more occasions, it is also more popular suit

Scholars of all ages.

In the 1997 film "British Patient", starring Ralph Fiennes in the movie, a white shirt was stuffed into a khaki-coloured GURKHA trousers, which is the most classic dressing method.

But now, to do a better job with GURKHA pants is our neighboring country, Japan.

Most of the GURKHA trousers in Europe and the United States are of the trouser type, and they will be collected under the trousers to show the version of the tapered trousers.

In Japan, GURKHA trousers are straight, straight, or loose wide-leg pants because they are affected by the Harajuku style and the trend of tooling.

In the fabric, it is not only the traditional linen, but more thick twill will be used. So now when it comes to GURKHA trousers, it's not just summer. Some wool materials, in the winter can still be warm and warm.

At present, in order to be more adaptable to the simple aesthetic trend, many brands will lower their waist position and create a mid-waist style. The belt fasteners will also be replaced with buttons, and this change will obviously be more suitable for today's younger men.

When it comes to brands, if you prefer to be more relaxed, the leaves will recommend Japanese brands such as Beams, FUJITO, etc. GURKHA trousers are relatively rare. At present, there are only a few traditional suit brands and custom shops.

Finally, I talked about how to wear GURKHA pants.

In fact, GURKHA pants are still very good to wear, because whether it is the traditional high waist or the current low waist, for Asians, it can achieve the effect of modifying the proportion of the lower body. Regardless of height, weight, and thinness, it will not be difficult to control it.

One of the best places to wear the GURKHA pants is to use no belts, avoiding the improper use of the belt and ruining the overall Look texture. Therefore, after wearing the upper body will be more closely fit your body shape, with those few folds, full of refined retro taste.

In general, no matter what your ride is, try to tie it into your pants and reveal your waist position. Not only in a suit shirt, but also in coats and jackets.

If you cover the waist, it seems to be more common, and there is no difference with other pants.
