“Y’s” 09SS Textured jersey drawstring long pants

From Y’s, which inherits the free silhouette that Yohji Yamamoto has cultivated beyond conventional women’s clothing, as well as functional practicality that fits naturally into everyday life, we present a standout piece whose appeal lies in the expressive texture of the material and the subtle fluctuation of its silhouette.

Using a grey-black jersey material with fine, diagonal textural nuances, this piece features a fabric expression in which variations in depth appear depending on how the light falls—conveying a mode-like atmosphere with depth, even within a calm, understated color palette.

The waist is fitted with elastic, and a long drawcord is placed at the center, allowing you to change the impression depending on how you tie it or how it is allowed to fall. Natural gathers form around the hip area, and the long silhouette that gently widens toward the hem draws a beautiful vertical line without overly tightening the body.

The drawcord left boldly at the front does more than simply adjust the size—it functions as a design element that brings movement to the center of the outfit. If you loosely bunch the knots, you achieve a neat impression; if you intentionally let it hang long, you create an unforced nuance characteristic of Y’s. Even when paired with a simple top, it adds individuality to your style.

The soft drape unique to jersey fabric, combined with a distinctive expression reminiscent of fine woven textures, gives this piece a three-dimensional feel that differs from a typical cut-and-sew jersey skirt. The blending of grey and black suppresses strong claims while, when worn with an all-black outfit, the material’s shadowing and depth are highlighted—allowing you to experience its quiet presence clearly.

Inside, you can confirm the item number YV-T22-162. Here, Y denotes the Y’s brand line, while T indicates the item category—cut-and-sew and jersey fabrics. In addition, you can find the former JIS washing instructions and the address of the Takanagawa main office of YOHJI YAMAMOTO Co., Ltd. Given that the “V” in the two item numbers corresponds to the 2009 spring/summer season code, it is positioned as a 2009 spring/summer item.

Another appeal lies in the balance between practicality and design—something that lets you feel the contemporary atmosphere created by the designer Yohji Yamamoto and the Y’s design team. While the material is soft and easy to incorporate into daily wear, the drawcord at the waist and the distinctive texture give the entire look clear definition. This is an item we would recommend for those who find ordinary clothing lacking, or for those who wish to express individuality quietly through fabric and silhouette.

For styling, pair a white broadcloth shirt in a compact way, then refine it with a black leather belt and plain-toe shoes to create a poised outfit that accentuates the fabric’s shadow and depth. In autumn and winter, layer a slim turtleneck and a long coat; then, with square-toe boots at the feet, you can enjoy the calm, mode-like atmosphere that is unmistakably Y’s. A look that also lets the waist drawcord take center stage—by styling with a short-length knit or a light tailored jacket—is equally appealing, and this piece can be naturally incorporated into styles that are not limited by gender.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
