Textured Straight Leg Pants IMOGEN

I like that the zip is kept to the side. The front stays quiet enough for a tucked blouse to be the focus above it.

Straight legs and a discreet fastening, lovely.

A smooth waist makes such a difference.

An interesting alternative to plain knit trousers.

The unpleated front is particularly appealing with a tucked shirt. I would choose a shirt with a little volume, letting the straight trouser legs balance it. The cables along the sides add interest without interrupting that combination.

The raised cables give these trousers a cosy appearance. A smooth cotton shirt would provide a lovely contrast beside that knitted surface and straight outline.

The website separates the straight-leg cut from the cable texture in its description. That helps explain why the trousers can look simple and still have character.

Plain ankle boots would be my choice here. The vertical texture already gives the legs something interesting, so the footwear can stay quite restrained.

A small amount of texture can change the way I think about a pair of trousers. Here the raised cable detail is placed along the outer legs, where it becomes a subtle vertical accent. It makes me want to keep the rest of an outfit quiet. A fine, plain cardigan would be my first thought, buttoned just enough to show the smooth waist. A compact bag and flat shoes would finish that combination nicely.

The concealed zip is a detail I appreciate in these trousers. It leaves the front waist looking simple, so a shirt tucked in would have a clean place to finish. I like the idea of pairing that smooth area with a slightly fuller blouse. The cable sections then carry some texture down the sides, keeping the trousers interesting without putting a large pattern across the front of the outfit.

The website makes clear that these fasten with a concealed side zip. That is worth knowing when choosing knitted trousers, since the smooth waistband is part of their appeal. I also found the separate fabric information useful: it describes a synthetic blend with a little stretch. I'd approach these as a textured alternative to everyday tailored trousers, with a simple shirt and loafers to keep the overall look easy.

Love that texture running down the outer legs.

I'd choose a top that finishes around the waistband. It would leave the side cable detailing visible instead of covering the upper part of it.

The straight cut and outer cable panels are an appealing combination. I'd be pleased to see a deep navy version of these trousers too.

I prefer a trouser leg that falls straight rather than narrowing sharply at the ankle. This shape would suit the kind of low shoes I usually choose, and the side cables give that long line a little more definition. For a casual dinner, I'd add a plain top and a short jacket. There is enough texture in the trousers that I wouldn't feel any need for patterned knitwear above them.

For online ordering, I appreciate that the website lists acrylic, nylon and polyester rather than leaving the yarn unspecified. The description of a substantial knit helps me picture these with cool-weather layers and a simple pair of leather shoes.
