16Arlington Trousers: Draped Tailoring, Velvet, Devore and the Satin Wide Leg

16Arlington trousers come in two families. There is draped tailoring in wool and crepe, such as the Riva with its sweeping front panel and the Romano with fringed side seams. Then there are relaxed wide legs in velvet, devore, leopard chiffon and Japanese satin, often with an elasticated waist and a hem of feathers, sometimes of lace. Both are designed to be worn with the label’s embellished tops, and both are among the easiest ways into the house. Here is every pair at Coveti.

The tailored trousers, including the fringe trousers

1. Riva Trousers in Black

Lightweight black crepe in a classic tailored line, reworked with a dramatic draped panel that falls into a relaxed leg from a structured front pleat.

2. Riva Trousers in Charcoal

The Riva in charcoal virgin wool. The same draped panel, in a cloth that feels like proper suiting.

3. Romano Trouser in Black

Black wool with front pleats for shape and soft black fringe running down the outer side seams. The fringe moves when you walk and keeps the trousers from reading as office wear.

The wide-leg trousers, including the feather trim trousers

4. Joelle Trouser in Navy

Deep navy velvet falling into a wide leg trimmed with a band of ostrich feathers. Relaxed through the hip, made to match the Tio shirt.

5. Rocco Trouser in Black

Black devore with an elasticated waist and in-seam pockets. The viscose, silk and lurex blend gives a soft shimmer.

6. Rocco Trouser in Leopard Speckle

The same Rocco shape in leopard speckle chiffon, lined, for a lighter take on animal print.

7. Ricci Trouser in Lilac

Lilac Japanese satin inspired by vintage sleepwear, with scalloped lace at the hem and an elasticated waist.

8. Joelle Trouser

The Spring/Summer Joelle in chocolate crinkled satin with a feather hem at the ankle.

The denim

9. Junia Trouser in Blue Denim

A straight leg in stonewash denim with a curved seam and hidden pockets.

10. Kia Trouser

A bootcut stonewash denim with a crinkled satin overlay trimmed with lace.

Fit and sizing

The Riva and Romano are cut for a regular fit with a tailored waist, so take your usual UK size and have the hem adjusted for your height; they are designed to sit long on a heel. The Joelle, Rocco and Ricci are relaxed with elasticated waists and forgive a size difference. The brand’s model is 178cm and wears a UK 8. The size guide covers US and EU conversions.

How to wear them

The trouser is where 16Arlington’s embellished tops become wearable. A fringe Auro top, like a feather-cuff Olyss, looks like eveningwear with a skirt and like dinner clothes with the Riva. The Romano with the silk Lambro tie top is the outfit for a work event that runs late. The Rocco devore with a plain black knit is the most comfortable way to wear the season’s shimmer. The full sets are in the co-ords guide, and the velvet guide covers the Joelle and Tio in detail.

Which pair to buy first

The Riva in black crepe is the most useful 16Arlington trouser. It looks like classic tailoring from the side and like a skirt from the front thanks to the draped panel, and it works with every top the house makes. The charcoal wool version is the better choice for a working wardrobe because the cloth wears like suiting. The Romano is the one for anyone who wants the fringe to show, and it is the trouser that turns a plain silk shirt into an evening outfit. Of the wide legs, the black devore Rocco is the most comfortable and the most versatile, while the navy velvet Joelle is best bought with its matching Tio shirt.

The tailoring details

The Romano and the charcoal Riva are made in the United Kingdom from a virgin wool blend with a little elastane, so they keep their shape and recover after sitting. The black Riva is a lightweight crepe, also made in the United Kingdom. Both have structured front pleats, which give the leg its line, so press along the pleat rather than flat across it.

Frequently asked questions

What are fringe trousers?

Trousers trimmed with a line of fringe, usually down the outer side seam. The 16Arlington Romano is black wool tailoring with soft black fringe running down each leg, so the fringe moves as you walk.

Does 16Arlington make trousers?

Yes. There are tailored trousers in wool and crepe, the Riva and the Romano, and relaxed wide legs in velvet, devore, leopard chiffon and satin, the Joelle, Rocco and Ricci.

What is special about the 16Arlington Riva trousers?

A draped panel falls from the front pleat over a relaxed leg, so a classic tailored trouser gets the movement of a skirt. They come in black crepe and charcoal wool.

Are 16Arlington trousers true to size?

Yes. The tailored styles are a regular fit, so take your usual UK size; the wide legs have elasticated waists and are relaxed.

What top goes with 16Arlington feather trousers?

Keep it plain: a fitted black knit, a silk shirt and the matching velvet Tio shirt for the Joelle all work.

Can I wear 16Arlington trousers to a formal event?

Yes. The Romano with a silk top and the Joelle velvet set are both formal enough for a winter wedding and a black-tie optional dinner.
