A Silk Laundry signature, cut on the bias from heavyweight 19 momme silk with a soft, glossy finish. The bias fall gives a fluid line with a gentle flare that moves as you do, while the elasticated waistband sits just above the hip for a fit that stays easy from morning through to evening. A regular fit that wears as well dressed down with flats as it does lifted with a heel.

The silk is woven in China, the home of the world's finest silk and a tradition of artisanal craft stretching back more than five thousand years. Ours comes through a decade long relationship with two master artisans, which is what gives the cloth its weight, drape and quiet sheen.

In plain terms

What is it made from? Pure silk, 19 momme, which is a mid to heavyweight silk. That weight is what gives the pant its drape and quiet sheen rather than a thin or papery feel.

How does it fit? A regular fit cut on the bias, so it skims rather than clings. The waist is elasticated and pulls on, with no zip or fastening, and sits above the hip.

How do I care for it? Hand wash only, in cool water with a gentle silk friendly detergent like the delicate wash we stock online. It is not suitable for the machine. Lay flat or hang to dry, away from direct heat.

Is it lined or sheer? The pant is unlined, and the 19 momme weight gives it a substantial hand with good coverage rather than a thin or papery feel.

What does it go with? The Magic Mushroom Fern print pairs with earthy greens, stone and ivory. Pull a single tone from the pattern and wear it above for the most considered look. A year round layering piece rather than a seasonal one.
