PNTS trousers: Which model suits you?
PNTS does only one thing, and they do it well: trousers. The Herford-based label now has nearly a dozen cuts in its range, and they all have similar names: The Mini L, The Mini G, The O Shape, The Jino O, The Gent. In the online shop, it's hard to see the difference.
That's why we’ve put together this overview. We placed the models we stock in the store side-by-side and describe them just as we would in a conversation.
The essentials in brief
- Sizes run from 25 to 31 and are based on waistband circumference, not EU standard sizes.
- The Mini L is the clean, minimalist cut for office and everyday wear. The O Shape is the label's wide, straight classic.
- The Jino O fits like a pair of joggers but looks like tailored trousers.
- Our prices range from €85 to €229.
The sizes: 25 to 31, and what they mean
PNTS does not use EU sizes. The label shows a number between 25 and 31, as is common with jeans. This indicates the waistband circumference in inches.
If you know your jeans size, you have your starting point. If not, measure the circumference where you want the trousers to sit. High-rise models should be measured at the waist, while those with a lower crotch are better measured at the hips.
Not every cut is available in every size. The selection is smaller for the Bermuda shorts. Drop us a quick message if you're unsure. We’ll check in the store and tell you honestly whether your model is still available in your size.
The Mini L: the calm cut for every day
The cleanest pair of trousers in the collection. Minimalist silhouette, modern leg line, nothing flashy.
The summer versions come in a cotton-linen blend, offering a natural texture and a light drape. They are also available in denim and as a checkered version.
Wear them with a white shirt and flats if you want to keep it low-key. With a blazer and loafers, it turns into an office look that doesn't look like a uniform. Our prices: from €139. An example from the store: The Mini L in dark red.
The O Shape: the cut the label is known for
The name describes the shape. The leg is straight and slightly voluminous, with a gently rounded profile. This creates the signature O-silhouette.
The pure cotton versions hold their shape particularly well. This model is also available as a five-pocket jean if you prefer a casual look.
These trousers don't need much on top. A slim top or a fine sweater is enough because the volume at the bottom does the work. From €101. You can see how this looks in corduroy with The O Shape Pleat Cord in dark blue.
The Jino O: tailored trousers on the outside, joggers on the inside
Our favorite for long days. Here, the O-shape meets pleats, a cropped leg, and a jogger silhouette.
The material is an Italian jersey with a high stretch content. There is an elastic insert at the back of the waistband. This means: they look like tailored trousers and feel like soft Sunday loungewear.
They are available in pinstripe, herringbone, and solid colors. Just as good with sneakers as with heels. From €119. If you want to feel the jersey for yourself: The Jino O in brown-black is available in our store.
The Gent and The Gent S: wide cut, short concept
The Gent is the wide, elegant version in a cotton-linen blend. Classic tailoring, relaxed line, perfect for warm days.
The Gent S is the corresponding Bermuda. High rise, wide cropped leg, pleats, and crease lines. The size selection here is smaller than for the full-length models.
The Raver and Over The Top: when you want more volume
The Raver features a high rise, a straight wide leg, and crease lines that elongate the silhouette. The material is almost pure cotton with a touch of elastane.
The Over The Top does exactly what its name suggests. Extremely wide leg, low crotch, normal rise. The pinstripe wool version is the most striking pair of trousers we stock from PNTS.
The Mini G and 00_Made by Michi
The Mini G is the lightweight, easy-care sister of the Mini L. Smooth surface, wide leg line, maintains its shape.
The 00_Made by Michi is a collaboration with Michi from Want. Loose cut, low crotch, straight leg. A special edition, so available in limited quantities.
