Multicolor Houndstooth Tailored Pants, Elena

The Elena Houndstooth Tailored Trousers are classic European suit trousers in fine black-and-white houndstooth twill, straight through the leg, with slant pockets at the hip and a signature red belt at the waist that anchors the print with one saturated accent. They are the matching trouser to the Elena Houndstooth Tailored Blazer, made for fall and winter executive dressing where the houndstooth carries the look and the red belt runs the accent across the whole silhouette.

Fabric
Botanical fiber performance twill in a classic houndstooth weave, fully lined, finished with a signature red belt at the waist. The botanical fiber holds the straight-leg line through long days without creasing. The houndstooth is woven at a fine scale, so it reads as a textured gray from across a room and as a clean check up close. The red belt is cut to the same width as the waistband, so it reads as part of the trouser rather than an addition. Designed and crafted in Europe as part of Luna Fashion House. Featured at OC Fashion Week 2026, Catalina Island runway.

Fit
The Elena runs true to size, with the belted waist sitting at the natural waistline. Size up if you are between sizes or want more ease through the hip. Center front closure, fully lined, straight-leg cut, slant pockets, integrated red belt. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for inseam and rise measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2.

Styling
Worn with the matching Elena Houndstooth Tailored Blazer for the full houndstooth suit.
Tucked into the Lola Business Blouse in Red so the red belt is echoed across the upper half.
Or with the Donna Off Shoulder Top in Scarlet Red for an evening version that pulls the same red across the shoulder line.
Paired with the Lucy Draped Blouse in Ivory for a softer ivory-against-houndstooth contrast at daytime events.
Layered under a fine knit and finished with the Tili Belt in Red worn over the knit to carry the red further.
Carried with the Klara Structured Mini Handbag for daytime polish and Parisian-style executive dressing.
Keep metal tones consistent: silver hardware reads modern with houndstooth and the red belt; gold pushes the look warmer and more traditional.

Care
Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Spot clean gently as needed. Do not bleach. Hang on a clip hanger to keep the straight-leg drape.
