Korean New Women’s Loose Casual Pants

On a budget? You can browse trousers on Shopee that are just under P1,000. These Korean Casual Pants (P605) are available in Khaki, Black, and Gray. They’re made high-waist, fit loose, and have wide legs for that oversized look. Full disclosure: Since you’re buying from a random Shopee seller and not an established brand, trousers are always a hit and a miss. Some reviews rave about the quality and the perfect fit while others find loose threads and thin fabrics. However, it’s a gamble we’re willing to take!

Linen Lab

Aside from linen being a durable fabric, it also requires less energy and water during production. Therefore, you save the planet. Local store Linen Lab takes saving the environment to another step — their clothes are for pre-order so nothing is made in excess. ICYDK, fash fashion is killing the planet (we’re looking at you, Shein). Linen Lab gives you a number of trousers to choose from depending on your style. There’s the wide leg Arisse (P1,199) and Penny (P1,399) Trousers, high-waisted Solene Linen Trousers (P1,050) made to naturally flatter the wearer’s form, and the basic Elicia Relaxed Trousers (P649).
