Dries Van Noten Striped cotton and silk pants

Dries Van Noten’s celebrated approach to modern tailoring, founded on intelligent contrasts and an artistic vision, is expressed in these pants. The design plays with convention, featuring classic vertical stripes on a relaxed, wide-leg silhouette that offers both sartorial structure and effortless sophistication.

The art of the detail

These pants are crafted from a lightweight blend of cotton and silk, ensuring both structure and a fluid drape. The design features a precise pattern of vertical brown and white stripes. Tailored with a high-rise waist and distinct front pleats, the silhouette flows into a generous wide leg, culminating in classic cuffed hems. A concealed front closure ensures a clean, uninterrupted line, highlighting the piece's sharp yet relaxed construction.

How to wear

Integrate these pants into a polished daytime look by pairing them with a simple silk blouse and minimalist loafers for a professional meeting or city lunch. For a more creative ensemble suitable for a gallery opening, style them with the matching top and a pair of architectural heels. The relaxed yet refined silhouette also makes them an excellent choice for elevated travel, worn with a fine-knit sweater and comfortable flats. This versatility allows for a seamless transition between formal and informal settings.
