4 Fresh Ways for Dudes to Do Dockers

We can go on and on about outlandish styles and super-luxe fashion, but the fact is that most of us just want to get dressed. A warm sweater, a dependable jacket, sturdy ankle boots and a pair of pants from Dockers are all a man really needs for good style—but it doesn’t hurt to zhuzh up the basics from time to time.

Your Dockers pants can take you anywhere, but you might not even realize the potential styling tricks available to you. Let’s break down the ways to spice them up.

Swap in a Print

When you usually wear black or khaki pants, things can get a little dull after a while. When that ennui sets in, it’s time to change up your trouser game. A pair of tapered Dockers pants in feisty camo gives your whole look a mini-overhaul without harshing the neutral vibe. Pair your camo Dockers with a black tee and denim jacket to complete the soldier-off-duty look.

Cuff Like a Pro

What separates men of style from men with clothes is attention to detail. An average pair of chinos becomes a special piece when you roll the cuffs just so. To get the best out of your Dockers, cuff them twice at a width of a little wider than one inch. Any more times than that and they’ll start to bunch unattractively. Show the cuff off with a pair of low-cut shoes and decorative socks that reveal a sliver of ankle.

Shorten  Up

When the weather’s hot, we understand that pants are a burden, but please—step away from the baggy cargo shorts. Excessively voluminous or low-hanging shorts do absolutely nothing for your body besides shorten and widen it, and they give the distinct impression that you’d rather be in bed. Dockers’ sharp, fitted shorts never look sloppy or sad, and when you wear them with a tucked-in polo buttoned all the way up and round sunglasses, you’ll look positively cool.

Dockers pants may look like your everyday bottoms, but they can be so much more when you style them thoughtfully.

Give your Dockers a little makeover.
