Basics Tapered Fit Phantom Black Stretch Trousers

Phantom Black tapered fit trousers in cotton-stretch fabric—a stripped-back everyday piece that works harder than it looks. The fabric blends 98% cotton with 2% elastane, giving you enough give to move without the baggy slouch that comes with pure cotton. The tapered cut sits neat through the thigh and tapers toward the ankle, which reads sharp enough for office settings but casual enough for weekend wear.

These work well during the warmer months when you want structure without weight, and pair naturally with plain self-design pieces that don't compete visually. The Phantom Black shade sits deeper than standard black, absorbing heat slightly less in direct sun—useful if you're wearing these through Delhi or Mumbai summers. Build outfits around other cotton-stretch trousers in the range for consistency.

Wash cold to preserve the elastane; the fabric will soften with wear but won't pill easily. True to Basics sizing.
