Blazé Milano Trousers: The Fox, Lundy, Husi and Tomo Explained

The short answer: Blazé Milano makes four main trouser shapes. The Fox Pants are straight-leg, high-rise and pleated, the house signature. The Lundy Pants have a slightly flared leg that lengthens the figure. The Husi Pant is a wide-leg palazzo in fluid satin. The Tomo Pants are relaxed and pleated, with a crossover waistband. All four are cut to a regular fit, and the brand recommends your usual size.

Blazé Milano is known for one thing above all: the blazer. Founded in Milan in 2013 by Corrada Rodriguez d’Acri, Delfina Pinardi and Maria Sole Torlonia, the label designs its jackets as part of a wardrobe, and the trousers are the other half of it. Most are cut from the same cloth as a matching blazer, which is why so many women buy them as a suit. This guide explains each style, the fabrics they come in this season, and how to wear them.

The Fox Pants: the straight-leg signature

The Fox Pants are the trouser the brand calls one of its signature styles. They are high-rise with a straight leg, front pleats and a pressed front crease, and they fasten with a hidden zip, a hook and an internal mother-of-pearl button. Belt loops mean a belt is optional.

This season the Fox comes in more cloths than any other Blazé Milano trouser:

Because the leg is straight rather than wide, the Fox works with almost every shoe, from a loafer to a stiletto. It is the Blazé Milano trouser to buy first.

The Lundy Pants: the slight flare

The Lundy is high-rise with a slightly flared leg that, in the brand’s words, elongates the figure. It has front and back creases, side slit pockets and the decorative Smiley pocket at the back that appears across the collection. Wear it with a heel and the line looks longer still.

Choose the Blazé Milano Lundy Pants in Bravado Grey for the office, the Blazé Milano Lundy Pants in Mystere Night Blue for a navy suit, the Blazé Milano Lundy Pant in Aramis Navy in a blue checked wool, and the Blazé Milano Lundy Pant in Luna Night in fluid viscose sablé for evening.

The Husi Pant: the wide-leg palazzo

The Blazé Milano Husi Pant in Novalis Dijon is the widest trouser in the range: a relaxed, wide-leg palazzo in mustard satin, high-rise with front pleats and creases and a chocolate jacquard lining. The fluid fabric moves as you walk, so it reads as eveningwear even with a simple knit. Our guide to wide-leg trousers covers how to fit and wear the shape.

The Tomo Pants: the relaxed pleat

The Blazé Milano Tomo Pants in Omadeleine Bordeaux flatter the figure through a relaxed fit, front pleats and a signature crossover waistband. They are cut from a viscose and wool blend in a deep wine colour, designed to be worn with the matching Blazé Milano Shamo Bolero.

The rest of the range

Glassy Pant. A high-rise, relaxed trouser with soft construction and front pleats, in the beige check of the Blazé Milano Glassy Pant in Saona Beige and the blue silk jacquard of the Blazé Milano Glassy Pant in Seahorses Deep Blue.

Darryl Pant. The Blazé Milano Darryl Pant in Vegas Baby Black is soft black leather, inspired by biker styles, with logo zips at the hem; it matches the Mick Bomber.

Sorraia Pants. A high-rise, carrot-leg cotton trouser that tapers at the ankle, in the mint of the Blazé Milano Sorraia Pants in Amara Mint.

Denim. The Paso is a straight five-pocket jean and the Maline a high-rise, slightly flared one. See our Blazé Milano jeans guide.

How Blazé Milano trousers fit

Blazé Milano sizes 00, 0, I, II, III and IV convert to UK 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 (US 2 to 12, Italian 36 to 46). Every trouser in this guide is cut to a regular fit, and the brand recommends your usual size. The high rise means the waistband sits at the natural waist, so if you are between sizes, choose by your waist measurement. The model on the brand’s site is 177 cm tall and wears size I, which converts to UK 8; the trousers are long enough to wear with a heel on a tall frame, so shorter women may want them hemmed.

How to wear them as a suit

The quickest way to wear Blazé Milano trousers is with the blazer cut from the same cloth. Bravado Grey Fox Pants with the Blazé Milano Charmer Blazer in Bravado Grey give the hourglass suit; Mystere Night Blue Lundy Pants with the Blazé Milano Nightbreak Blazer give an oversized navy suit with a velvet collar. Break the suit up during the week: the trouser with a knit, the blazer with jeans. Our edit of Blazé Milano suits has every pairing.

What to wear on top

Keep it simple. A fine knit with a polo collar, such as the Blazé Milano Highland Polo in Highland Black, a crisp shirt like the Blazé Milano Onagori Shirt, a silk top, a T-shirt. For the knitwear side of the house, see our guide to Blazé Milano knitwear.
