Pleated pants
Pleated trousers from Homme Plisse Issey Miyake, Pleats Please and more, for women and men.
Pleated pants from independent boutiques, led by Homme Plisse Issey Miyake: fine knife pleated trousers in black, grey, chocolate and khaki, with Pleats Please Issey Miyake for women. UJOH, Song for the Mute and Sulvam cut pleats their own way beside them.
The pleats are set into the cloth after it is cut and sewn, so the trousers hold their lines, pack flat and never need pressing. They sit at the waist on an elastic band, taper to a cropped hem, and wear with a plain knit or a pleated top from the same line. UJOH's tucked trousers give the same ease with a sharper line.
WDLT117 in Toronto holds almost all of it, and Due West has a pair or two. Pleated pants photograph well on a phone because the pleats catch the light as lines, which is why the cover of this wall is a pair of them on a black form.
