Best men’s trousers to check out: The right trousers can make even a basic tee-and-sneakers outfit look intentional—because fit and drape do most of the work. H&M India’s men’s trousers range covers modern staples like cargos, joggers, chinos and suit trousers, so it’s easy to pick a cut that matches your routine.
5 men’s trousers to consider on H&M India
These picks have been curated from H&M India’s men’s trousers category, focusing on the cuts most men actually rotate: chinos for smart-casual, cargos for weekend utility, and tailored trousers for sharper days. If you’re buying only one, start with a tapered or straight fit in a neutral color—black, navy, or beige—because it pairs cleanly with almost everything.
These five H&M trousers cover three clear lanes: utility cargos, clean slim twill, and softer tailored/relaxed pairs that sit between smart and casual. The right pick depends on whether the outfit needs storage and volume (cargos), a sharp silhouette (slim twill), or an easy drape (tailored/relaxed).
What each pair is “for”
LOOSE FIT CARGO TROUSERS (1300095001, black) are the most streetwear-leaning: drawstring waist, multiple press-stud pockets, knee pleats, and drawstrings at the hems. H&M describes them as a loose fit that’s generous but not oversized, which usually works best with simpler tops (tees/hoodies) so the pockets and volume don’t compete.
SLIM FIT 5-POCKET TROUSERS (1253397001, black) are the most “clean and sharp” option because the structure is classic twill with a zip fly and a fitted silhouette. They suit outfits where the top is slightly relaxed (boxy tee, overshirt) to avoid an all-tight look.
LOOSE FIT TAILORED TROUSERS (1318444002, beige; cotton/lyocell blend) are the most refined in drape: wide legs, pleats at the top, and tailored pockets. Lyocell blends are often cared for with gentler washing and lower temperatures to reduce shrinkage and keep the fabric smooth.

RELAXED FIT TROUSERS (1311237001, black) are the easiest “smart-casual cheat” because they mix a trouser look (creases, jetted back pockets) with comfort features (elastication + concealed drawstring). This is the one that can pass in more settings without feeling stiff.
RELAXED FIT COTTON CARGO TROUSERS (1316423003, light beige) sit between the first and fourth: cargo pockets and knee pleats, but a more toned-down relaxed fit instead of a bigger parachute silhouette. They usually look best with darker tops (black/charcoal/navy) so the light beige stays intentional rather than “washed out.”
Fast choosing rules (so it doesn’t get confusing)
- Want maximum utility + streetwear shape: 1300095001 (loose parachute cargo).
