Verso is a very classic and timeless trouser sewing pattern that includes two variations: straight-leg high waste trousers, and shorts with small side slits. Both variations are high-waisted, have a discreet invisible side zipper, and angular patch pockets that can be sewn on the front or back.

Fabricsuggestions:
Choose a light-weight trouser fabric for either variation. Your fabric can have a touch of drape, and a little bit of stretch, but the stretch percent should be less than 5%.
