Shop Block Print Bottoms by Style

Every pair of trousers and shorts in this collection is hand block printed in Northern India using natural dyes on breathable cotton.

The range covers gingham, stripe, checker and traditional motif prints across several silhouettes -- from wide-leg relaxed trousers to cropped shorts perfect for warmer months.

Quantities are limited. When a colourway sells out, it is not restocked immediately, so if a print catches your eye, it is worth acting on.

Gingham Trousers and Pyjama-Style Bottoms

Our gingham trousers are among the most requested styles in the collection. The Gingham Trousers in Pea and the Trousers in Green Checkers offer a fresh, pattern-led bottom that works as easily with a simple white top as with a block print blouse.

The wide-leg, elasticated-waist cut makes them comfortable for long days and relaxed evenings alike -- what many customers describe as the ideal gingham pyjama-style trouser that is smart enough to wear outside.

The Trousers in Sunflower Dabu and Red Checkers bring deeper pattern detail to the relaxed trouser category, for those who want more visual interest in their bottomwear.

Striped Trousers for Women

Our striped trousers are hand block printed in bold vertical stripes that give a clean, elongating line. Available in Ochre, Basil Green Stripe and Ruby Red Stripe, each pair is made from natural cotton with a relaxed, wide-leg cut.

The Striped Trousers in Ochre and the Striped Trousers in Ruby Red Stripe are particularly popular for their versatility -- earthy tones that work with much of what is already in most wardrobes.

For warmer seasons, the Rufflebottom Trousers in Wild Sage bring a softer, more textured silhouette to the stripe category.

Striped and Checkered Shorts for Women

Our shorts range brings the same hand block printed quality to a shorter, more seasonal silhouette. The Mia Shorts in Check Madder Red, Wild Oat and Striped Ochre are lightweight cotton styles that pair well with our wrap tops and blouses for a coordinated summer look.

Each pair features an elasticated waist and natural drape for effortless comfort in warm weather.

Several shorts styles are currently available at reduced prices, making them an accessible entry point into the BANJAARA collection.

Block Print Pyjama Bottoms and Relaxed Daywear

The relaxed, wide-leg silhouette of our trousers makes them a natural choice for anyone looking for comfortable everyday wear that does not feel like giving up on style.

Made from breathable natural cotton with elasticated waists and generous cuts, many customers wear them as artisan alternatives to traditional pyjama bottoms - at home in the morning, out for a walk in the afternoon.

Our gingham styles in Pea and our Sunflower Dabu trousers are especially popular as sustainable pyjama alternatives.

They are made with the same care and craft as all BANJAARA pieces - hand block printed, naturally dyed, and built to last well beyond a single season.

If you have been searching for block print pyjamas or ethical gingham pyjama bottoms, these trousers are the closest thing to that - without compromising on quality or daytime wearability.

Indian Block Print Trousers - Craft You Can See

Every pair of trousers and shorts in this collection is made using traditional hand block printing, a craft that has been practised in Northern India for centuries.

Carved wooden blocks are pressed carefully onto natural cotton fabric by artisans who have spent years learning the precision, pressure and rhythm that good printing requires.

Natural plant-based dyes give each print its distinctive colour. Earthy ochres, deep reds, fresh greens and the warm yellows of Sunflower Dabu all come from traditional dyeing methods rather than synthetic alternatives.

Because the dye is applied by hand, colours soften gradually with wear and washing rather than fading sharply.

The small variations you notice in the print - a slightly deeper press here, a fraction of movement there - are the signatures of human craft. No two pairs are identical, and that is the point.

Sustainable Trousers Made with Intention

Our trousers are produced in small batches using natural cotton and low-impact plant-based dyes. We do not run large surplus quantities or chase seasonal trends.

When a colourway sells out, it is retired until the next carefully considered production cycle.

We work directly with the same artisan communities in Northern India over the long term. That means we understand exactly how our garments are made, who makes them, and under what conditions.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct and Ethical Procurement pages set out the standards we hold ourselves and our suppliers to.

Choosing a pair of BANJAARA trousers means choosing clothing that supports real skills, real people, and a more considered way of producing fashion.

How to Style Your Block Print Trousers

Block print trousers carry the visual interest, so the rest of the outfit can stay simple. Here are a few reliable ways to wear them.

Gingham Trousers for Everyday Wear

Pair gingham trousers with a fitted white or natural-toned top to let the print lead. Our Gingham Trousers in Pea work well with a simple Tin Front Blouse or a relaxed wrap top from the BANJAARA range.

Add flat shoes or sandals and the outfit covers most of the day without needing to change.

Striped Trousers for a Bolder Look

Striped trousers make a statement on their own. Keep the top plain - a solid block print top in a complementary tone works well - and let the vertical stripe do the work.

Our Ruby Red Stripe and Ochre Stripe trousers both pair well with earthy neutrals from the tops collection.

The elongating line of vertical stripes also makes them one of the more universally flattering silhouettes in the range.

Shorts for Summer Dressing

Our block print shorts are light, breathable and easy to style in warmer months. Wear the Mia Shorts in Check Madder Red or Striped Ochre with a wrap top or tie-front blouse for a coordinated summer look.

The elasticated waist makes them comfortable for a full day out, from morning errands to an evening in the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Trousers and Shorts

What sizes do your block print trousers come in?

Our trousers and shorts are available in sizes XS to XL. The elasticated waist on most styles provides additional flexibility and comfort across a range of body shapes. Full size guidance is available on each product page.

Can block print trousers be worn as pyjama bottoms?

Yes. Our wide-leg, elasticated-waist trousers are made from soft natural cotton and are comfortable enough to wear as loungewear or pyjama-style bottoms at home.

Many customers use our gingham and Sunflower Dabu trousers in exactly this way. The difference is that they are also smart enough to wear out during the day - making them a more versatile alternative to traditional pyjama bottoms.

What fabric are your trousers made from?

Our trousers and shorts are made from natural Indian cotton. The fabric is breathable, lightweight and printed by hand using traditional block printing techniques and plant-based dyes.

We do not use synthetic fibres in our standard production. The natural cotton softens with wear and washing, making each pair more comfortable over time.

How do I wash block print trousers?

We recommend a cold gentle machine cycle or a hand wash using mild detergent. Do not tumble dry - hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the natural dye colours.

A cool iron while the fabric is slightly damp keeps the print looking sharp. Full care instructions are in our Care Guide.

Are your trousers ethically made?

Yes. All BANJAARA trousers are handcrafted by artisan communities in Northern India who specialise in traditional block printing.

We work directly with these communities, make regular supplier visits, and hold ourselves to a published Supplier Code of Conduct. Production runs are small and intentional, which means we prioritise craft quality and fair conditions over volume.

Do you offer free UK delivery on trousers?

Yes. We offer free standard UK delivery on orders over £110. Most individual trousers qualify for free delivery when purchased alongside other pieces.
