The Studio Trousers Sewing Pattern by Nani Iro combines effortless comfort with contemporary Japanese design. Featuring flowing wide legs, an elasticated waistband and a sculptural origami-inspired front pleat, these relaxed trousers are an elegant wardrobe staple that can be styled for both everyday wear and more elevated occasions.
Designed with a loose, comfortable fit, the Studio Trousers showcase Nani Iro's signature balance of artistry and wearability. The wide-leg silhouette drapes beautifully in lightweight natural fabrics, while the distinctive front pleat adds subtle architectural shaping. Choose linen or cotton for a relaxed everyday look, or sew them in a fluid silk blend for a more refined finish.
The pattern includes three size options covering approximately US 0–18 / UK 4–22. We recommend selecting your size using your waist and hip measurements alongside the finished garment measurements shown on the pattern envelope.
