Cut, material, price: everything you need to know about the Faro high-waisted trouser!
The high-waisted trouser makes its grand return. After decades of low rises and tight cuts, it regains its rightful place in the men's wardrobe. And at The Nines, it's reinvented in the form of the Faro trouser: a piece that is both structured, comfortable and elegant.
Available in gray flannel, cognac corduroy velvet and ecru velvet, the Faro combines sartorial heritage and modernity.
A cut that elongates the silhouette and redefines elegance
The Faro's signature is its high waist. Naturally placed at navel level, it highlights the body line, refines the silhouette and visually lengthens the leg. A cut that evokes the trousers of the 1950s, a period when masculine elegance was expressed through the accuracy of volumes and proportions.
The Faro takes up these codes with a straight and fluid cut, double pleats for more ease and an impeccable drape thanks to the measured ankle opening. The thin belt loops emphasize the fineness of the design, while the Italian pockets and sartorial finishes give it a look that is both classic and contemporary.
The result: a trouser that can be worn both at the office and on more casual occasions, with natural ease and effortless elegance.

Three materials, three interpretations of style
1. The Faro in gray flannel
In 100% virgin wool, the flannel version of the Faro is designed for cooler days. Its soft, slightly fluffy texture recalls winter suit trousers, while offering exceptional comfort.
Medium gray is a versatile shade: it pairs equally well with a white shirt and navy blue jacket as with a camel turtleneck or checkered blazer.
2. The Faro in cognac velvet
With its corduroy velvet material, the cognac Faro is the warmest and most assertive version of the trio. The cognac color, deep and luminous, brings an autumnal touch full of character.
Worn with an ecru sweater, a green overshirt or a navy jacket, it creates a subtle contrast. The velvet offers a lively texture, a play of light, and that unique sensation that only a true winter fabric can provide.
3. The Faro in ecru velvet
Brighter, bolder, the ecru Faro revisits the high-waisted trouser in a light and refined version. Perfect for sunny days or chic weekend outfits, it pairs with chambray shirts, light blue sweaters or beige jackets.
Ecru velvet is an elegant alternative to traditional chinos: richer, more textured, but still easy to wear.

Three looks for three atmospheres
- Tailored version with gray flannel
Pair the Faro with a white shirt, an anthracite or navy blue blazer and black derbies. The high waist elongates the silhouette, while the flannel offers an impeccable drape: an ideal ensemble for the office or an elegant evening.
- Smart casual version with cognac velvet
Wear it with an ecru turtleneck sweater and a wool overshirt. A few accessories, a thin leather belt and brown loafers, are enough to create an autumnal look full of character.
- Contemporary version with ecru velvet
For a lighter, more modern style: sky blue shirt, pearl gray cardigan and white sneakers. The contrast of materials and the brightness of the ecru tone modernize the silhouette without distorting it.
Why invest in the Faro?
1. A return to true masculine cut
The high waist offers incomparable support and comfort. It restores a natural verticality to the male silhouette, forgotten since the advent of low rises.
Result: the posture is more upright, the leg elongated, and the look more assertive.
2. Noble and responsible materials
The Nines selects high-quality fabrics from renowned European mills. Wool flannel guarantees warmth and breathability, while corduroy velvet combines robustness and softness. These materials age well, gain character over the seasons and lend themselves to intensive use without losing their appearance.

3. Meticulous sartorial finishes
Every detail matters: the double pleats, the thin belt loops, the lined inner waistband, the piped back pockets. These elements testify to demanding craftsmanship, inspired by traditional tailoring, but adapted to modern life.
4. A sustainable and coherent choice
Buying a Faro means choosing a piece made to last. Rather than multiplying disposable trousers, it's better to invest in a timeless model, that can be worn for several years without fearing the effects of fashion.
It's also a way to consume more consciously: favoring natural materials, thoughtful design and quality manufacturing.
Elegance, without effort
The Faro high-waisted trouser reconciles two often opposing requirements: style and comfort. Whether in gray flannel for a tailored look, cognac velvet for a vintage chic touch, or ecru velvet for a bright and modern appearance, it remains a key piece of the men's wardrobe.
With its balanced cut, impeccable finishes and noble materials, it alone sums up what The Nines stands for: timeless elegance, accessible and full of character.
