Everyday wear with a pleated designer texture
These casual Issey Miyake pants are recommended for daily use, with a flowy recycled-polyester fabric and fine permanent vertical pleats that run from waistband to hem for a hatching-like texture. The relaxed straight-leg fit falls to a slightly widened hem that drops over the shoes. For everyday upkeep, they machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a laundry net, line dry in the shade, and need no ironing.[1,2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Hatching Pleated Straight-Leg Pant: Choose this if you want a casual black straight-leg pant with Issey Miyake's signature look: fine permanent vertical pleats throughout, a dry-to-the-touch recycled polyester knit with a soft stretch and flowy drape, an elastic waistband, side-seam pockets, and a relaxed, slightly wide full-length leg. It is recommended for daily wear and made in Japan, offered in black in sizes 1 and 2. Note that care is hands-on: machine wash cold on gentle cycle in a laundry net, line dry in the shade, and no tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning.[1,2,3,4] | Pleats Please Straight-Leg Pants: Choose this if you want a versatile Pleats Please first purchase — one reviewer calls the straight-leg style the most versatile option, praising its comfort and its chameleon-like ability to move between weekend-casual and dressier settings. It also suits travel: one wearer says you can crumple them up in a suitcase, and the permanent pleats (machine-pressed so they don't come out), elastic waist, side-seam pockets, and flowy recycled polyester knit support that easy-care packability. Note that Pleats Please sizing changes only in length, so order for the length you want — this black colorway is listed in sizes 1 and 2 (XS and S) with a cropped 25-inch inseam.[5,6,7,8,9] | Deconstructed Square Pants: Choose this if you want an avant-garde statement trouser: it's made from a lightweight paper blend (83% paper, 17% polyester) cut as a large square with cascading, asymmetrical draped panels at the sides and waist, a high waist, and a wide leg cropped above the ankle in black. Choose this for a layered, skirt-like silhouette with visible seam and panel details, closed by a hidden side zip. Note that the fabric can appear slightly sheer near the hem and panel edges, and a commenter reported the fit runs maybe a tad smaller than the 150 model; only a size 2 in Black is listed for this variant.[10,11,12,13,14] |
