0:00 Intro: What Are Frankentrousers?
Frankentrousers claim to offer the best of casual and formal styling, but are they an evolution of men's or a modern horror?
Before we begin, we need to clarify what "Frankentrousers" are. And no, we don't literally mean these are Frankenstein's trousers.
But much like the similarly monstrous "Frankenshoes" we've discussed in other videos, they are often a hybrid of athleisure or practical pants made with more formal elements, like a pinstripe or glen check pattern.
Because these "Frankentrousers" are usually intended to function and look like dressier pants, they are intended to provide the best of both worlds by bringing the style and formality of dress trousers with the comfort and cost of casual ones.

5:59 (In)formality
7:18 Outfit Rundown
8:19 Verdict: Timeless or Trend?
As to our main question in this video, you can probably guess where we're at in this discussion. In most cases, we believe that "Frankentrousers" are definitely a trend, and one that we hope will disappear over the horizon on an ice raft (that's a literary reference for you!).
If "Frankentrousers" survive at all within classic style, it will likely be more of a casual trouser type, suited to practical wear, but often, they aren't going to be your best option, as we've mentioned.
9:05 How to Wear Frankentrousers Well
→ 1. Utilize only the Frankentrouser elements that you actually need
→ 2. Avoid gathered cuffs and excessive tapering at the leg
→ 3. Employ Frankentrousers as combinational pieces, not in suiting
→ 4. Frankentrousers make the most sense when you utilize them with the more casual styling elements of classic menswear
→ 5. Avoid any obvious design elements that are typical of Frankentrousers
