Rick Owens Pantalon Long Slim à Cordon - Mélange Noir

The bishu wool has this heathered texture that looks way richer in person than in the photos. The elasticated waistband with the drawcord is a lifesaver on days I eat too much, and the ironed-in creases hold up even after a long day of sitting.

The melange wool has this subtle heathered texture that looks way more expensive in person. I wore them straight from the office to a late dinner and the creases held up the whole night, no wrinkles. The elastic waistband with the drawcord is a nice touch if you want a looser fit.

These have become my go-to for dinners where I want to look put together without trying too hard. The ironed-in creases down the front and back hold up even after a long day, and the drawcord waist means no belt digging in. The slim taper is sharp without feeling tight.
