\tPleated trousers are having a real menswear<\/a> comeback right now, and surprisingly, the PGA Tour is leading the charge. After years of slim, ankle-hugging golf pants dominating both the course and everyday menswear<\/a>, players are starting to swing the pendulum back toward fuller cuts, softer tailoring and vintage-inspired fits that feel noticeably more polished.<\/p>\n

\tPGA Tour pro Tommy Fleetwood has been one of the clearest examples of the shift, regularly wearing roomier trousers that stand out against the sea of tapered performance pants. Min Woo Lee has leaned into the same vibe, while Jason Day has gone all in with fashion<\/a>-forward Tour fits through his partnership with Malbon<\/a>. Suddenly, pleats don\u2019t feel like something reserved for old clubhouse photos anymore. \t<\/p>\n

\tWhat\u2019s changed is the fit. Today\u2019s pleated trousers are cleaner and easier to wear \u2014 more tailored with just enough drape to look intentional. They still have stretch and performance fabrics, but they don\u2019t cling to your legs like some slim-fit chinos. On the course, they make even a basic polo look more put-together.<\/p>\n

\tA lot of golf brands are jumping on the trend right now, but one of the easiest places to actually shop it is Men\u2019s Wearhouse<\/a>. The retailer already carries a ton of pleated and relaxed-fit trousers, so if you\u2019re trying to get the PGA-inspired look without spending hundreds on boutique golf brands, it\u2019s a pretty easy starting point. The move is less about dressing like your dad at the clubhouse and more about bringing some actual personality back into golf style. \t<\/p>\n

\tGolf style has been moving toward something more relaxed for a while now. Pleated trousers just happen to be the latest sign of it. Here are our favorites.<\/p>\n
