Store The Anthology Drawstring Trousers – Navy/White ‘Ripple’ Stripe

96% Cotton, 4% Elastane

If we were to think of a trouser design that stands for the 2000s, it oughts to be a pair of drawstrings thus far. As much as we adore casual styles, this is not a sign of us giving in to the apathetic (can’t-be-bothered) attitude. The two are distinctly different.

As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this pair of breezy seersucker trousers injects with a dose of Italian Riviera chic, suitable to wear on both the beach and the city.

The modern drawstring waistband detailing does not only offer flexibility to the waist, but it essentially adorns the more casual aesthetic, also differentiating from our classically tailored trousers.

Designed for stylish riviera fanatics and well-travelled individuals, the Spring/ Summer offering is a great travel companion that does you well without over or under-dressing. Also complete this set withNavy/White ‘Ripple’ Stripe Lazyman Jacket for the ultimate flair.

Fabric is a now deadstock piece by prestigious fabric producer Holland & Sherry, featuring the distorted beauty of the irregularity of stripes. It distinctively deviates from nowhere near the usual business stripes but an imaginative nautical feel to the whole garment. This fabric is expertly woven in a raw spun method, with waving textures going the horizontal way. It juxtaposes by crisscrossing with the vertical contrasting striped pattern. The wavy textures resemble the tranquil waves of the ocean. Irregular and slightly distorted, the overall look gives a unique sense of nonchalance.

Pair this with: knitted t-shirt in deep colours like fossil or espresso, or go the opposite with vibrant colours such as mustard and rust. For polo shirts, go tennis white or powder blue. No jacket is needed unless to complete the set. It is also ideal to be styled solo. Finish off the look with a cap in the city or a Panama by the seaside, with French espadrilles, sneakers or unlined loafers on your feet.
