A statement trouser for elevated everyday dressing
Wear these Issey Miyake pants when you want a wardrobe staple with a distinctive twist: hand-pleated stretch fabric with an origami-inspired diamond texture and a smooth, tapered straight leg. The elastic waist and relaxed silhouette make them easy to pull on and wear all day, while the cropped, above-the-ankle hem shows off the pleated detail and pairs well with anything from sneakers to dressier shoes.[1,2]
A recycled-polyester pick for a designer straight-leg pant
Shoppers looking for a pant made from recycled materials can consider this Issey Miyake style, which the retailer lists as 100% recycled polyester. It's a straight-leg trouser with diamond pleating from the designer section.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Diamond-Pleated Straight-Leg Pant: Choose this for a statement cropped pant with Issey Miyake's signature origami-inspired diamond pleating, rendered in hand-pleated stretch fabric of 100% recycled polyester with a pull-on elastic waist and a relaxed straight leg ending above the ankle, made in Japan. It suits shoppers drawn to sculptural, texture-led designer pieces and a simplified waistband with no visible fasteners or belt loops, in black and sizes 1 or 2. Note that the pleated construction gives the hems a slightly uneven look and a slight curl at the ankle opening, and no external pockets are visible on the front or back views shown.[1,2,3] | Pleats Please Straight-Leg Pants: Choose this if you want relaxed, flowy cropped straight-leg pants with very fine permanent vertical pleats pressed into a flowy recycled polyester knit — an effect one Reddit commenter notes won't come out. Choose them for versatile comfort: reviewers describe wearing them from travel (they crumple well in a suitcase) to dressier occasions, and one writer considers them an excellent first Pleats Please purchase, though that flattery of most body types is the author's subjective view. Note that these black pants (sizes 1 and 2 listed, where 1=XS and 2=S) have an elastic waist, 12-inch rise, 25-inch inseam, side-seam pockets, and are made in Japan, and Pleats Please sizing reportedly changes only in length, so order according to the length you want.[4,5,6,7,8] | Deconstructed Square Pants: Choose this if you want a statement trouser with an experimental cut: the lightweight paper-blend weave (83% paper, 17% polyester) is shaped into a large square that forms asymmetric draped panels cascading from the high waist at the sides and front, creating a layered, skirt-like silhouette over wide, cropped legs that end above the ankle in a matte black finish. It has a hidden side zip and a fitted high waistband, though the lower hem areas and panel edges appear slightly sheer or semi-transparent, worth noting if you prefer opaque fabric.[9,10,11,12] |
