Safari bukser ~ Sort poplin

The double pleats give these pants a really sharp, tailored look that I didn't expect from a relaxed cut. The side buckles add a nice utilitarian touch without feeling bulky, and the black poplin is just the right weight for warmer days.

The double pleats give it just enough structure that it doesn’t read as sloppy, but the relaxed cut means I can actually sit down without feeling strangled. The hook and waistband closure sits flat, which is rare for trousers in this style.

The side buckles are a really nice touch—they add just enough structure without making the waist feel stiff. I’ve worn them three times already and the relaxed cut drapes perfectly, plus the hook and waistband closure keeps everything sitting right. These are my new go-to summer trousers.
