Step 1
Trace a copy of your basic pant pattern with ease on circumferences (we suggest 2cm at waist and 3 to 5cm at hips) and a little ease (1cm should be enough) on crotch depth.
Adjust length to ankle or above.
Taper trousers from knee to hemline.
A cool pair of trousers with front pleat and manipulation that shift side seam. It's an interesting pattern that can be a bit challenging and spices up a classic garment!
You can sew them in any medium weight fabric, with or without stretch. We suggest something a bit drapey (as crepe) for a smooth pleat.

Adjust length to ankle or above.
Taper trousers from knee to hemline.
Merge front and back at side seam from hip to hemline, then pick a point on front waistline 5 to 7cm past side seam and draw a slash line from this point to side seam at hemline.
Cut through the slash line.
Now you got a smaller front and a wider back with some sort of dart in the upper part, where side seam was.
Pick a point on back waistline 2 to 3cm past side seam, square down to hipline and cut though the line.
Close the previous ‘dart’ opening its volume in the new slash line.
