I promised something for everyone and now it's time to talk about Rota. With their impeccable construction and @gdl203 's eye for fabric and creativity for new shapes and styles, it's a really cool selection that can span a lot of situations, socially and stylistically.
I'll start with the more casual styles and go from there:
The Brooklyns (double pleat, wider leg) come in strong with a sage green cotton solar (sheesh) and a super crisp tan pima cotton twill.
The Manhattan (single pleat, wider leg) returns too in a lightweight charcoal wool, with some slight variation in the yarns to give that nice depth of color.
The garment-dyed joints are back as well, in our classic plain front style. This type of makeup has been essential to us from the first spring seasons of Rota, and there is just something really special about the way this textured fabric takes on the color and shows fading on the seams. They've very handsome but not at all precious.
Easy pants are back of course, and there isn't much to say about a comfy pair of nicely made seersucker pants - just know that wearing these you will have a better pair than 105% of other people that wear seersucker pants.
Fresco wool is the perfect travel fabric - it wears cool and bounces right back into shape so it always looks sharp. Cut in a medium grey, are these The Most Sensible Summer Work Trousers On Earth? Probably.
And for when you want to pair with warmer hues, we've got the same flat-front Fresco wool in taupe as well.
Lastly, our popular higher-rise style (with side tabs!) in that perennial Loro Piana wool/silk/linen and a nice light grey Fresco again.
Aaaand Portuguese Flannel to follow. See, something for everyone! I wasn't kidding.
