The trouser is the most wearable thing Dries Van Noten makes and the shape has not changed in years: wide, high on the waist, often pleated, and more often than not elasticated at the back so it sits like a tailored trouser and wears like a sweatpant. This season it comes in fluid viscose, floral jacquard, cotton viscose velvet, moiré viscose, lurex pinstripe, seersucker, wool crepe and virgin wool gabardine, plus the skirt-pants with an integrated pleated panel. Coveti carries 33 styles, $800 to $4,590, and this page sorts them by waist and cloth. The jeans have their own page.

The elasticated wide legs

Start here. The Elasticated viscose pants in Bottle are straight-leg with a drawstring in fluid viscose; the Wide leg jacquard pants in Ocra are the same idea in floral double-dye jacquard; the elasticated lurex, moiré and silk versions carry the season’s prints. They are the safest online buy in the range because the waist has give and the leg is wide.

The tailored trousers

The Tailored wool pants in Black are regular-fit virgin wool gabardine, the plain trouser every printed piece needs. The Pleated wool pants in Cement are high-waisted pleated wool crepe with cuffs, and the wide pleated wool is the same cloth with a wider leg. The velvet Wide leg pants in Navy and the belted Belted moiré pants in Black are the evening trousers.

The skirt-pants and the sweatpants

The Wool skirt pants in Cement are straight-leg wool crepe with an integrated pleated panel, a house idea that reads as a skirt from the front; the viscose and crepe versions are the softer ones. The Loose cotton sweatpants in Burgundy Melange in mélange cotton are the loose pleated sweatpants that started the elasticated idea.

Fit

Regular fit is true to size at the waist and full through the leg. Loose fit is fuller still. Fitted, on the slim and drawstring styles, is close at the hip. The house model, 178 cm, wears FR 36; on a shorter frame the wide legs will need a heel to clear the floor. The size guide converts FR to UK and US.

Straight-leg trousers with an integrated pleated panel across the front, so they read as a skirt when standing.
