Somya Pants

The Somya Pants are black trousers with a smooth, slightly stretchy polyester-blend fabric that follows your movements instead of fighting them. The deep black colour keeps them plain and easy to wear, so they slot into most of what's already in your wardrobe.

If you want one pair of trousers that handles the office, the weekend and a dinner out without a costume change, these are built around that flexibility. The stretch means they sit close but comfortably and don't dig in when you sit down all day.

For work, pair them with a crisp white shirt and a blazer. For a relaxed day, a chunky knit and white trainers does the job; swap the knit for a fine top and heels when the plan turns into dinner.

Not for you if you prefer a stiff, structured trouser that holds a sharp crease, since this fabric leans soft and moves with you.
