Black Pleated Overlay Trousers | Alternative Wide-Leg Pants

Trousers that refuse to look like trousers.

These black wide-leg trousers combine a relaxed cropped silhouette with a dramatic striped pleated overlay, creating the movement and volume of a skirt while keeping the ease of trousers underneath.

The overlay falls asymmetrically across the front and side, contrasting fine vertical stripes and sharp pleats against the smooth black base fabric. An elasticated waist keeps the fit comfortable, while the wide cropped legs and deep rise create the relaxed proportions Simple Moderne is known for.

Style them with an oversized black pullover for a monochrome alternative look, or add a crisp white shirt to bring out the architectural construction.
