The Icon Trousers
We designed The Icon Trousers to be the most versatile piece in your wardrobe—equally at home in the boardroom, at dinner, or running weekend errands. Crafted from premium stretch ponte fabric, these trousers blend structure with all-day comfort.

Whether you’re building a capsule wardrobe or seeking reliable everyday elegance, The Icon Trousers deliver.
- Premium stretch ponte fabric—soft, structured, and wrinkle-resistant

Fabric & Construction
The Open Edit The Icon Trousers are crafted from a premium ponte knit blend—typically a mix of rayon, nylon, and spandex—that offers the best of both worlds: tailored structure and comfortable stretch. Ponte fabric is known for its smooth, double-knit construction, which resists wrinkles and holds its shape throughout the day.
Unlike traditional woven trousers that can feel restrictive, our ponte construction moves with you, making these pants ideal for long workdays or travel. The fabric has a slight weight and recovery that prevents bagging at the knees, ensuring a polished appearance from morning meetings to evening plans. We’ve chosen a matte finish that reads professional and sophisticated, never shiny or casual.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Icon Trousers feature a mid-rise waistband that sits comfortably at the natural waist, paired with a straight leg that skims the hip and thigh without clinging. We designed the fit to be universally flattering—not too tight, not too loose.
Finding Your Size
Our pull-on waistband includes flat elastic for flexibility, so most customers find their usual size works perfectly. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up. The inseam measures approximately 30 inches in most sizes, falling at or just above the ankle for average heights. Petite shoppers may want to hem or cuff, while taller customers can wear these as cropped trousers. Check our full size chart for waist and hip measurements to ensure the best fit.
Styling The Icon Trousers
One reason we named these The Icon Trousers is their extraordinary versatility. Pair them with a tailored blazer and heels for the office, or dress them down with a tucked tee and sneakers for weekend errands.
The neutral colorways we offer—classic black, charcoal grey, and navy—anchor countless outfits across our women’s clothing range. Tuck in a silk blouse and add a statement necklace for polished workwear, or layer a chunky sweater over the waistband for a relaxed, modern silhouette. The straight leg works beautifully with ankle boots, loafers, or pointed-toe flats. Because the ponte fabric doesn’t wrinkle easily, these trousers are perfect for travel and packed suitcases.
