Store your treasures in patch pockets on the side and back. The fit of Flâneurs is comfortable and flexible. Size up for a relaxed slightly oversized pant, size down for a more fitted pant. Flâneur is a French term that was popularized in the 19th century to describe a type of person who wanders around for their own enjoyment, generally in an urban setting. A Flâneur would be someone who saunters about town without specific purpose, seemingly just to observe and explore.
