Brioni Melbourne Trousers Navy

The Melbourne trousers from Brioni in navy: tailored trousers made to be worn with a jacket or on their own with fine knitwear. Navy is the most versatile colour for tailored trousers: darker and softer than black, it works with almost every shirt, knit and jacket in the wardrobe.

Brioni was founded in Rome in 1945 and became one of the great names of Italian tailoring, known for dressing men in clothes that are cut with precision and finished with care. That same approach to proportion and line runs through its trousers, which are designed to sit cleanly and hold their shape through the day.

Take your usual Italian size; they come in 46 to 54. Wear them with a grey or camel jacket and a white shirt for the office, or with a cream cashmere crewneck and brown suede loafers at the weekend.
