Basics Tapered Fit Phantom Black Stretch Trouser

The Basics Tapered Fit Phantom Black Stretch Trouser is a workhorse piece built on cotton-stretch fabric with 2% elastane, giving you enough give without the fabric losing shape through the day. The tapered cut sits comfortably at the waist and thigh before narrowing at the ankle—a cut that works better in Indian summer heat than looser fits, since it doesn't bunch at your shoes or trap air.

Wear this to the office, paired with a crisp shirt and blazer, or dial it down with a casual shirt on weekends. The fabric works across seasons, though it breathes best in cooler months. If you're building a core collection of trousers, this phantom black sits between formal and casual—neutral enough to pair with anything in your rotation, whether that's other plain styles or patterned shirts.

Size true to your usual fit. Machine wash cold and hang dry to maintain the fabric's recovery; avoid high heat.
