The fishtail waistband takes its name from the V-shaped notch at the back, a traditional tailoring detail originally designed to create a more comfortable fit around the waist. Combined with a higher rise and clean leg line, it creates a distinctive silhouette that feels both considered and easy to wear.
Our men’s fishtail trousers reinterpret this classic construction through contemporary tailoring, combining practical details with fabrics chosen for their texture, drape and durability.
Built Around Everyday Wear
The higher waist naturally complements knitwear, shirts and lightweight tailoring, while the clean profile allows each piece to sit comfortably alongside the rest of your wardrobe. Like all Oliver Spencer collections, the focus is on thoughtful construction, tactile fabrics and clothing that develops character through wear rather than chasing seasonal trends.
