Sundae School BOTTOMS

Sundae School Bottoms: Pants, Skirts and Everything in Between

From balloon-leg denim to pleated midi skirts, Sundae School bottoms cover every shape you need for a full wardrobe. Like the rest of Sundae School clothing, they start from traditional Korean dress, especially the roomy baji trousers and the wrapped chima skirt of hanbok, and rework those shapes in denim, chino, wool blends, linen, sweat fabric and summer wool.

This page brings together all of the brand's trousers, shorts, skirts and convertible pieces. Use this guide to understand the main silhouettes, pick the right fabric for the season and choose bottoms that suit the way you live.

The Main Silhouettes, Explained

• Balloon: full through the leg and gathered at the ankle, like traditional baji. Found in the Hanbok Denim Pants, the Pleated Hanbok Slacks and the Flower Norigae Linen Trousers.
• Barrel: wide through the leg and gently tapered at the hem. The Hanbok Chino Pants and Kiki Drawstring Slacks use this shape.
• Wrap: a draped, crossover front inspired by the hanbok wrap. See the Wrap Sweat Baji and the Asymmetric Chima Culotte.
• Flare and transformer: shapes that change. The Accordion Denim Pants release hidden pleats into a flare, and the Flare Skirt Pants come with a removable apron skirt.
• Pleated skirts: knife pleats and apron layers in the Kona Midi Skirt, the Uniform Apron Skirt and the Cindy Polo Dress.

Choosing Bottoms by Season

Built-In Adjustability

One of the most useful things about Sundae School bottoms is how much you can adjust them. Many pairs have elastic or partly elastic waists, and several add waist straps or a side drawstring. Asymmetric flies on the hanbok denim and chinos let you change the rise. At the hem, buttons, cuff straps, side tabs or toggles let you choose a full wide leg or a tapered finish. Even the skirts adjust, with a three-tier button waist on the Uniform Apron Skirt and a drawstring on the Kona Midi Skirt.

That flexibility means one pair can look different from day to day: wide and relaxed at the weekend, tapered and neat for work.

Reach for the Flower Norigae Linen Trousers, the washed cotton chinos, the Flare Skirt Pants in summer wool or the Striped Boxer Shorts.

How to Style Your Bottoms

With this much volume below the waist, a neat top keeps the outfit balanced. Pair wide trousers with a fitted tee or a gorum tie shirt from Sundae School shirts, or layer a structured blazer from the Sundae School outerwear collection over pleated slacks. In colder months, a hoodie from the hoodies range or a layer of Sundae School fleece works well with denim and sweat baji. Add a macrame belt or cap to finish.

To narrow your search, browse only Sundae School pants or only skirts and dresses. Many bottoms are also marked down in the sale, or you can shop everything in one place.

Caring for Your Bottoms

Always check the care label first, because Sundae School bottoms use very different fabrics. As a general guide, wash denim inside out in cold water to slow fading, hang wool slacks between wears and steam out creases rather than ironing hard, and let linen and washed cotton dry naturally. Pleated skirts keep their folds best when they are hung up. Garment-washed pieces will soften and fade a little with every wear, which is part of their character.
