When's it right to wear moleskin trousers for the first time

?

Many people invest in a pair of moleskin trousers, get them home and are then a bit unsure as to how to actually wear them - particularly what accessories are best to accompany them.

Moleskins are generally considered to be part of the 'country chic' look, and go well with tweed jackets and casual shoes. Alternatively, for a more relaxed look, pair them with a blazer and some smart trainers. As moleskin trousers wear with time, they will begin to fade in an attractive way, giving them the 'lived in' look.

Leather and riding boots also work well - depending on the season. That's because moleskin trousers are perfect for both keeping cool in summer, and wrapping up in winter - great for those fresh winter walks through the woods or forest.

Moleskin trousers originate from 17th century England, so it's no surprise they are associated with the true English gentlemen. The fabric has a distinctly velvety feel, and the beauty of moleskin trouser is that although they are classic, the fabric is unstructured and drapes well on any body shape.

Used as a forgiving fabric for jackets, overalls and welding trousers, Moleskin is a durable, long-lasting material; once you've invested in a pair of moleskin trousers, you should in theory be able to wear them for your adult life.

Not only fashionable, moleskin trousers are highly versatile. A pair of dinner shoes and a smart shirt can provide the perfect evening wear, or by teaming them with a warm fleece or jumper, they are highly appropriate for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking or fishing. They are snag resistant, so walking through uneven areas (where the risk of catching on twigs or trees is high) isn't a problem.

Moleskin trousers are generally machine washable, but to avoid shrinkage, it's best to wash them on a cool temperature and to dry them on a line or clothes hanger - tumble drying will almost certainly damage the fabric and leave your trousers much smaller.
