These are the non-denim bottoms, and they come from the same place the jeans do. The same vintage references, the same attention to how a leg falls, the same Los Angeles production. What changes is the fabric, which means a softer hand, a cleaner drape and a range that moves more easily between weekday and weekend.
The Easy Army Trouser is the pant that defines the collection. Multiple washes, a relaxed utility line, and the pair most of our customers buy in every color. Around it sit tailored trousers, drawstring styles and cropped silhouettes that cover most of what a wardrobe actually needs below the waist.
Wide Leg and Straight Leg Trousers
Two silhouettes, two different jobs.
A wide leg trouser is fitted through the waist and hip, then opens into a full leg that moves as you walk. It is the more dramatic of the two and the more forgiving, because the volume below the hip lengthens the line. The Robbie Trouser, Maria Trouser and Colette Cargo all cut this way, in fabrics chosen to hold the drape rather than collapse into it.
A straight leg trouser runs clean from hip to hem with no taper and no flare. It is the more tailored option and the easier one to dress up. The Elaine Simone Pant sit here, cut narrow enough to pass as tailoring and easy enough to wear on a Saturday.
Rise matters as much as leg shape does. A high waisted trouser marks the waist at its narrowest point, which is what allows a wide leg to be as full as it is without losing the shape of the body underneath. Most of this collection is cut high for exactly that reason.
For the denim version of the same silhouette, the wide leg jeans collection carries it.
Utility and Army Pants
This is the part of the collection with the deepest history and the deepest range.
Utility pants take their construction from workwear. Sturdy cotton twill, functional pockets placed where they were originally useful rather than where they look decorative, reinforced seams, and a relaxed leg that was cut for movement long before it was cut for style. Army pants are the military version of the same idea, usually with a slightly straighter line and a flat front.
The Easy Army Trouser is our version, and multiple colorways mean we have had plenty of chances to get the balance right. It stays on the relaxed side of the reference, which is the hard part with a utility pant. The waist is clean, the pockets sit flat, the leg has room without becoming shapeless, and the twill softens with wear instead of staying rigid.
The Easy Army Slouch Crop takes the same construction and shortens the leg for a looser, more casual line. The Colette Cargo brings the pocket detail to the fore for anyone who wants the utility reference made explicit.
If you want the full run of washes, the Easy Army Trouser collection has them together.
Drawstring and Easy Pants
The drawstring here does a specific job. It lets a tailored leg sit on a soft waistband, so you get the line of a trouser with a waist that gives as the day goes on.
The Elaine and Simone are cut this way, in cotton with enough weight to hold a proper leg shape. The Easy Drawstring Slouch Crop takes it further with a cropped, deliberately slouchy line.
They travel well, which is the practical case. They also hold up in a room where loungewear would look out of place, which is the real one.
Fabric, Rise and Length
Almost everything in this collection is cotton, and the weight is what determines how it wears. A heavier twill keeps a sharp leg line and softens over months. A lighter cotton moves more and feels easier from the first wear. Garment dyeing gives several of these pieces their depth of color and the slightly lived-in surface that keeps a new pant from looking new.
On rise, high waisted is the default across the collection, with mid rise options in the drawstring styles.
On length, full-length trousers should graze the top of the shoe with a slight break, which is what carries the line to the ground. Cropped trousers finish above the ankle and deliberately change the proportion, which is what slouch crops are for. Each solves a different problem, and the collection carries both.
How to Style Pants and Trousers
The rule is the same as with denim. Volume below wants something closer above.
A wide leg trouser with a ribbed tank tucked at the front is the simplest version of this and works from spring through autumn. A straight leg with a tee or a tucked shirt looks sharper and moves into work territory without effort. Utility and army pants take an oversized top better than most, because the relaxed leg gives the proportion somewhere to sit.
For shoes, a wide leg wants length, so keep the hem long and let it fall over a flat or a low heel. Cropped styles open up the ankle, which suits a mule, a loafer or a sandal.
Use the filters above to narrow by style, or browse women's tops to build the rest of the outfit.
