Japanese Floral Pants 'Sakura'

The jogger with a strip of kimono down one leg

Run a band of rich kimono-print fabric down one side of a plain jogger and you get a clean trick: all the pattern of Japanese florals, concentrated in a single panel instead of spread thin across the whole leg. These floral pants, sakura, do exactly that, with a matching bloom patched on the back pocket so the detail follows you whichever way you turn.

It's a controlled hit of colour. The body stays solid and quiet; the side panel carries the dense, multicoloured blossoms — printed in fine detail onto its own cloth — so the florals read as a deliberate stripe rather than a busy all-over. The contrast is the point, and it's what keeps them wearable rather than costume.

Comfort is built in: an elastic drawstring waist, a relaxed leg, gathered cuffs that draw to a clean ankle. The linen-blend stays light and breathable, equally happy in July heat or under a layer the rest of the year.

Pick the base to set the mood — clean White or soft Pink keep the florals fresh and light, sharp Black turns them graphic, warm Red runs warmer still. A plain tee and clean sneakers is all the rest you need.

For the person who wants a touch of Japanese pattern, not a head-to-toe print. Available M to 5XL — we recommend choosing one size up from your usual size.
