The traditional navy sailor pant has come a long way since it was first introduced to the Royal Navy sailors in 1857. These high waisted and wide legged maritime inspired trousers have been reinterpreted this season in various silhouettes like jumpsuits and materials like distressed denim. We dig them. Oh, and a little fun fact: In the 1920s, Coco Chanel used to challenge the rules of sartorial etiquette by wearing loose fitting sailor pants at the beach.
