Junya Watanabe Pleated Hybrid Trousers – Black

The Pleated Hybrid Trousers by Junya Watanabe play with the line between tailoring, trousers and skirt construction. From the front, the fluid black pleating creates a long, sculptural silhouette with beautiful movement; from the back, the design reveals a more familiar trouser structure with patch pockets and a wool-blend panel through the seat and upper leg.

The contrast between the glossy pleated polyester and the matte wool-blend fabric is central to the design. The two textures shift the silhouette depending on how the trousers are seen and how they move, giving the piece a sense of depth without relying on colour or embellishment.

An elasticated waistband keeps the fit relaxed and comfortable, while the wide, cropped leg allows the pleats to fall freely. The rear trouser panel adds structure and makes the hybrid construction especially striking from behind — a detail that feels unmistakably Junya Watanabe.

Wear them with a simple knit or crisp shirt and let the construction take centre stage, or pair them with a structured jacket and strong shoes for a more directional look. Despite the complexity of the design, the black palette keeps them surprisingly easy to work into a wardrobe.
