Pants

Nili Lotan builds her denim around ease rather than attitude. The Arnaud sits high through the waist in non-stretch Japanese mid-weight denim, relaxed over the hip before opening out down the leg. Carpenter detailing runs through it — slant pockets, coin pocket, patch pockets at the back — over an elongated inseam that breaks fully on the shoe. Cream, so the construction shows.

Klara takes the jogger seriously: high waisted with a relaxed leg, an elasticated waistband on a drawcord, side pockets and ribbed cuffs. The knit is worked in a towelling stitch that gives the surface a light nap. Mid grey marl keeps it closer to knitwear than to sportswear.

Nili Lotan works in the register of quiet American ease, and the Shon pant is that sensibility cut in Italian lambskin. The mid-rise sits close through the waist before the leg curves away, seamed at the knee and gusseted at the inseam. Fully lined, so the leather moves rather than holds. Black, and quietly substantial.

Pierre Louis Mascia cuts wide-leg pants from a viscose and silk velvet, deep and soft to the touch. They fall full and fluid from the waist. In black.

Victoria Beckham's tailoring runs to clean lines and very little else, and the Ethel is cut from a fine virgin wool in a deep marsh green that reads almost teal under light. The waist sits high over a single front pleat, and the leg falls wide and uninterrupted to the floor. Sharp without being stiff.

A Victoria Beckham archive shape reworked in velvet: the Alina's very high waist and flared leg, now with the light sitting differently on every fold. A contrast satin waistband and side-entry pockets keep the tailoring visible under the pile. Midnight rather than black, so the velvet keeps a little blue in it.

Darkpark cuts the Gaia for volume: a high-rise wide leg in grey wool-blend suiting, pleated at the front and finished with a fold-over waist closure. A faux leather belt is built into the waistband rather than threaded through it, and the side pockets sit flat in the seam. The fit runs close for the shape, and the house itself recommends a size up.

A timeless tailoring staple crafted from silk and wool blend cut in a sleek straight-leg silhouette with pressed creases through the front and back. Slanted side seam pockets maintain the clean lines of the design, while tonal tuxedo-inspired side stripes add a subtle, elongated finish.
