Basics Tapered Fit Slate Brown Stretch Trouser

A tapered fit trouser in slate brown cotton-stretch—the kind of neutral that works harder than it looks. The fabric blends 98% cotton with 2% elastane, giving you enough give to move through a full day without feeling loose or baggy. The weave sits at around 280 GSM, substantial enough to hold its shape through repeated wear and washing.

Slate brown occupies middle ground between grey and warm brown, making it practical for office settings or casual dinners without the visual weight of darker neutrals. Layer it with anything from crisp shirts to knits; it pairs as easily with our other cotton-stretch options in lighter shades as it does with a structured blazer. The tapered cut works best if you're sizing down from your usual trouser size—the leg narrows gradually from hip to ankle without pinching.

Wash in cool water and line-dry to preserve the stretch. Avoid extended tumble drying, which can relax the elastane over time.
