Gary Neville, a pundit on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, was recently teased by fellow pundit Jamie Carragher for sporting wide-legged trousers. Carragher compared Neville's chino-style black slacks to the fashion of 1970s forward Frank Worthington, while a producer played Madness's "Baggy Trousers."
Neville defended his choice, stating he had been styled in London and believed the trousers were "pretty cool." Nick Pope, site director at Esquire, confirmed that the wider silhouette is what people are currently wearing on the street. Retailers such as Cos, Next, and Marks and Spencer are reportedly selling more wider-fitting trousers.
The style, described as a relaxed 90s fit, has been prominent at men's fashion weeks for autumn/winter 2026-27 and seen on figures like A$AP Rocky. Paul Monks, who dresses Sky Sports pundits, suggested that TV dress codes are evolving to reflect a more relaxed general style, moving away from traditional suits.
