Women's Pants & Leggings

Which cut suits which day?

Sixteen pieces that split into two ideas: pull-on pants for heat, and structured trousers for days that need a sharper line. The harem pants and joggers are for a 38-degree afternoon; the pleated and straight-leg trousers are for when someone will look at your hem.

• Aladdin Harem Pants, INR 999 — the loosest cut here. The low crotch and wide leg keep air moving, and the elasticated waist takes the guesswork out of sizing.
• Pleated Parallel Trousers, INR 1,190 — a straight fall from the hip, smart enough for an office without being formal.
• Mid Waist Straight Leg Trousers, INR 1,290 — the most versatile pair in the edit, and the one that takes both a tucked shirt and a loose tee.
• Flared Trousers, INR 1,290, and Flare Trousers With Vents, INR 990 — movement through the hem, better over flats or a low heel than over sneakers.
• High Banded Waist Wide Leg Pants, INR 1,599 — structure at the waist, volume below. Needs a fitted top to balance it.
• Elastic Hem Two-Tone Cargo Joggers, INR 1,800 — the most casual pair, and the only one with real pocket capacity.

What to look for

The harem pants and joggers are the most comfortable things in the collection but they read casual, and no amount of styling makes them office wear. The pleated and flared trousers hold a cleaner line but crease through a long commute. If you want a single pair that covers both ends, the mid-waist straight leg is the compromise worth making.
