The Pant Project, which started as an online platform that makes custom-pants for men, recently extended the same service to women. As a curvy woman, whose hip-to-waist ratio doesn’t fit into the standard mould followed by most brands, this writer was quick to order a pair for herself.

The range starts at Rs 2990, and I had to choose from the handful of style options offered on the website: Stretch, chinos, linen and corduroy pants. In colours, besides the reliable white, black and khaki, there was petrol blue, rose shadow, lavender, strawberry, dark olive and others. For fabric, the choice was between cotton and poly viscose. This writer settled on a pair of cotton chinos in River Stone (essentially, a lighter shade of beige).
