Linen trousers are a wardrobe staple in the Mediterranean, and it's no different in Italy and the Riviera. Lightweight, breathable and unlined, these trousers keep you cool under the warm Italian sun while presenting a relaxed, yet refined appearance.

Pair your Kit Blake linen trousers with a light denim or chambray shirt for a timeless outfit, or opt for a textured polo for more casual vibes. To complete the look, slip into comfortable loafers or espadrilles, perfect for leisurely strolls along the coastal promenades.

 

Our Kit Blake cotton trousers are a versatile choice for exploring the picturesque towns of Italy and the Riviera. The light cotton fabrics provide a comfortable fit, ensuring you feel at ease as you traverse cobblestone streets and indulge in mouthwatering Italian cuisine.

Pair your cotton trousers with a patterned polo shirt or linen button-down for the day, and a tailored blazer for the evening. Roll up the shirt cuffs for a touch of sprezzatura, and wear matching loafers, preferably sockless.

They talk about Kit Blake

"Kit Blake is the only brand in this (RTW trouser) guide dedicated to making trousers only. Their classic, Savile Row-inspired designs are made in Italy from British and Italian cloths, and sometimes it’s damn refreshing to try a product which is truly distinctive."

Permanent Style

"Kit Blake focus on expertly crafted garments, all made in Italy with the finest clothes from some of the most well-known English and Italian mills."

The Gentleman's Journal

"Tailored to a very high standard in true English style, there is probably no trouser more accomplished for all seasons."

The Rake Magazine

"That’s why we’re excited about Kit Blake: a relatively young menswear label (founded in 2018) that takes the mission of making beautiful tailored trousers to new heights – by pushing a quality product that is timeless and aesthetically pleasing, without compromising on price."

Boss Hunting

"A good pair of weighty flannel trousers are an essential for the AW season. They are versatile enough to take you to the office or around the park, depending on how you style them, and cosy enough to withstand the bitter winter wind. " 
Square Mile

" Kit Blake’s proposition was a standalone, ready-to-wear trouser of the kind that is increasingly difficult to find outside of bespoke: classic proportions, luxury fabrics and the styling cues of traditional English tailoring. "
