Nomad Pant in Elm by Mela Purdie – F65 1478
A tapered pant that earns its place through versatility This is a utility pant in the best sense of the word. Comfortable, uncomplicated and cut with enough shape to look considered without demanding a particular way of wearing it. The Nomad Pant in Elm is crafted from Mela Purdie’s Microprene, a woven cotton-rich fabric with stretch. The combination gives the pant structure while retaining the flexibility needed for everyday wear. The tapered leg is what makes the Nomad particularly useful. It narrows through the lower leg without becoming a skinny pant, creating a clean silhouette that works easily beneath longer shirts, tunics and relaxed layers. An elasticated waistband keeps the fit comfortable through the waist, while hip pockets add everyday practicality without unnecessary cargo detailing. The lightly cropped length finishes the proportion neatly at the ankle, making it straightforward to wear with sneakers, flats or a low heel. In Elm, the Nomad offers an alternative to the usual black or navy pant. The colour brings something different to a familiar wardrobe shape, while the pared-back design keeps the focus on the line and fabric. This is the pant for women who want comfort but still care about proportion — easy enough for a long day, structured enough to look properly dressed.
