Closet Core Pietra Pants & Shorts

The sleek and flat-fronted silhouette of the Pietra Pants & Shorts pattern from Closet Case Files features lengthening seam lines and angled inseam pockets, along with an invisible front waist stay/facing that keeps everything nice and smooth. The elastic is inserted in the back, so you have the best of both worlds: comfort AND style! With 4 versatile leg options, these babies are super customizable: choose from a wide leg in cropped or full length (View A), a slim tapered leg (View B), and the sweetest pair of flared shorts (View C). They're the sort of thing you just want to wear every day, whether in a drapey viscose or cozy linen!

Recommended Fabrics:
You can use a variety of fabrics for your Pietra pants to create different styles and effects! For a more defined shape, use structured wovens such as linen, chambray, or lightweight denim or twill (heavyweight wovens may create too much volume at the elastic waist). For a swishy, glamorous look, use rayon challis, tencel, or silk!
