Collection: Pantalon style paréo

What Is a Panta Pareo?

At its core, a panta pareo blends the logic of wrap garments with the comfort of loose trousers. Inspired by traditional pareo forms, this style uses overlapping panels and a tie-up waist to create flexibility in fit. Within the I was a Sari collection, the panta pareo is reimagined through repurposed sari textiles, giving a familiar shape a distinctive and contemporary identity.

How Does the Panta Pareo Fit?

Instead of relying on fixed sizing, the panta pareo adjusts naturally to the wearer. The tie-up waist allows the fit to be customised, while the flared legs open into a fluid line that moves easily with every step. The result is a relaxed, breathable fit that feels comfortable across different body shapes and ideal for long, unstructured days.

Why Is the Panta Pareo a Sustainable Choice?

Sustainability begins long before the garment is finished. Each panta pareo is made from a pre-loved sari, carefully selected and transformed by women artisans in Mumbai. By extending the life of existing fabrics, this process reduces waste and supports ethical, small-scale production, resulting in trousers that carry both craftsmanship and responsibility.

When and How to Wear a Panta Pareo

Versatility defines how the panta pareo fits into everyday wardrobes. It works effortlessly for travel, warm-weather days, and relaxed moments, styled simply with tops or contrasted with more structured pieces. Lightweight fabrics and a wrap construction make it comfortable to wear for hours, while the flared silhouette adds a sense of ease and individuality.

One-of-a-Kind Panta Pareo with a Circular Design Philosophy

No two panta pareo trousers are ever identical, because no two saris are the same. Differences in colour, pattern, and texture are part of the design itself, not a variation to be corrected. This circular approach values uniqueness and thoughtful reuse, turning each piece into something personal, wearable, and lasting.
