Basics Tapered Fit Balsam Grey Stretch Trousers

Tapered fit trousers in balsam grey, cut from cotton-stretch fabric that moves with you. The 2% elastane blend gives these trousers enough recovery to hold their shape through the workday without feeling restrictive—useful in a climate where you're moving between air-conditioned offices and humid streets.

The flat front and tapered leg from knee to hem create a streamlined silhouette that reads sharper than a straight cut but avoids the tight fit of a slim trouser. Pair these with anything from formal shirts to casual linens; they're neutral enough to work across occasions. If you prefer a different cut, browse our full trouser collection or explore other options in cotton-stretch fabrics.

These sit true to Basics' sizing, so order your usual size. The fabric softens slightly after a wash or two—expect them to feel more lived-in by the third wear. Wash cold to preserve the balsam grey; tumble dry low or air dry to maintain the taper.
