Tuxedo pants have been trending for a season or two, showing up most recently in Louis Vuitton’s Resort 2012 show. We’ve also seen it in punk alterna-tux leather ensembles and even on stage at Coachella (Can anyone identify this band?).

We love the new color and textile combinations, like black leather with a white stripe and red pants with black piping. It’s also great to see a variety of silhouettes, from high waisted flares, to straight legs and even skinny cuts.

We’re actually doing our own take on the tuxedo pant for HABITUAL resort 2012.
