Proenza Schouler&amp;#039;s Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough brought back those relaxed, three-quarter-length hem pants from their Spring collection for pre-fall. This time around, they did the high-waisted gauchos in suede and soft leather. And they weren&amp;#039;t the only ones to show a cropped, wide-leg pant. For his 10 Crosby line, Derek Lam did an exaggerated, flared version in pinstripe, and paired them with fringed, moccasin sneakers (no pre-fall look seems to be complete without a touch of fringe this season) and a loose-fit dress shirt. Alexander Wang  riffed on the Western-style pant as well, but padded the knees with leather and offered up a stiff pleat in another pair. He finished off the look with a cobalt turtleneck sweater and a reinterpreted collared shirt. Tip: If you&amp;#039;re ready to adopt this look, try gauchos in a menswear-inspired textile or go for a bold, leather  option.
