Wide Leg Drawstring Pants

A wide leg trouser with a drawstring waist is one of the most quietly useful things you can own. There is no zip to fight with and no fixed waistband deciding how your day goes, just a cord you pull to wherever feels right. The leg then falls straight and wide from the hip, which is what gives these their long easy line rather than any structure in the cut.

The fabric is 100% polyester and the waist is drawstring, which is why the measurements read the way they do: the waist runs from 25.2 inches relaxed out to 39.4 inches at full stretch in a small, and from 31.5 up to 45.7 inches in an XL. That is a genuinely wide adjustment range, so the size you choose matters less than it would in a fixed waistband. The inseam holds steady between 28.3 and 28.5 inches across every size, with bottom length from 40.9 to 41.8 inches.

Six colours means these can be almost anything you need. Black and dark blue are the workhorses and go straight under a blazer or a plain tee. Khaki and apricot are warmer and read as holiday. Green and blue are the ones that make an outfit out of very little. Wear them with a fitted top so the volume stays balanced, add a flat sandal for daytime or a heeled mule to lengthen the leg further, and let the trousers carry the shape.
