Our best-selling pant, now available in luxurious Premium Merino. The Ankle Pleat Basque Pant is designed with the same flattering fit you know and love—featuring a softly draped pleat at the ankle, wide stretch waistband, and streamlined silhouette—with an updated cut that now fits true to size.

Crafted in New Zealand from Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified Merino, these pants offer natural warmth, softness, and breathability, with just the right amount of stretch for all-day comfort. Ideal for cooler months, they deliver effortless polish whether you’re dressing for work, weekends or travel.

Features:

  • Made from Premium-grade Merino.

  • Addition of pockets for a more casual look.

  • RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) Certified – ensuring ethical, sustainable, and animal welfare standards

  • Wide basque waistband – no buttons or zips. Flattering on all waistlines.

  • Deigned to make the leg appear longer and sleeker.

  • True to size with a refined, improved fit.

  • Breathable, soft and temperature-regulating.

  • Fashion that lasts a decade, not just a season.

Styling Tip:
Pair with a relaxed knit and ankle boots or sneakers for a modern winter look with lasting appeal and ensured warmth through winter.
