Crispin | Pleated Trousers

A wide-leg pleated trouser in a smooth, lightweight fabric with an elasticated waistband and a single front pleat that drops into a tapered leg. The waistband sits at the natural waist and stretches without an exposed elastic panel — it reads as a clean waistband from the front, with the give only apparent when you're wearing them. The pleat runs from waist to mid-thigh before the leg tapers toward the ankle, which keeps the volume proportional rather than shapeless. The fabric has a slight drape to it — smooth and flat with enough body to hold the pleat crisp without needing pressing after every wear. Side slash pockets sit flush against the front panel and disappear into the pleat line. Wear with a fitted knit and clean white sneakers for the most relaxed version, pair with a linen shirt tucked in for a smarter casual combination, or dress up with a structured blazer and loafers when the occasion sits between business and weekend.
