The two brand ambassadors were joined by local stylists Cath Sobrevega, John Lozano and host Dani Mortel at the Wide Pants Style Talk.
Cath discussed the brief history of wide pants which originated at the University of Oxford in 1924. With a full circle moment in 2024, Cath said she hopes the trend is here to stay solely for its chicness and elegance.
John, on the other hand, talked about silhouettes and shared practical tips. He refuted the misconception that big pants make you smaller as opposed to slim fit pants.
He said that to look taller, one needs to apply the “3/4s” rule, or cutting the proportions mid-waist. For example, with a tucked-shirt, a belt, and high-waisted wide pants.
Donny shared that he transitioned from wearing skinny jeans to wide pants courtesy of John and was absolutely hooked since.
“There was no turning back from there,” John said.
Jericho, a veteran actor known for his acting first and fashion second, recalled a time in the ’90s when baggy pants were the thing.
He also said that one does not need to break the bank in order to elevate their wardrobe. “You can sell your old clothes,” he added.
The Uniqlo Philippines Wide Pants Collection features Pleated Wide Pants, Wide Fit Jeans, Wide Chino Pants, Wide Straight Jeans, Wide Trouser Jeans, and more—for kids, men, and women.
