THINKING MU MARISSA NAVY – the barrel pants that are different from your standard trousers
The MARISSA NAVY by THINKING MU is the kind of trousers that instantly adds something to your outfit. Not standard straight trousers, not classic dress pants, but beautiful barrel pants with a relaxed fit and a subtle, rounded shape in the leg.
And that might sound a bit daring, such a barrel leg, but that’s exactly why these trousers look so good. They feel comfortable, provide room around your legs, and make your outfit just a bit more modern. Without you looking like you “tried way too hard.” Nice, right?
The deep navy color makes them super wearable. Just a bit softer than black, but still chic, easy, and timeless.

Fit & styling
The THINKING MU MARISSA has a relaxed fit and a medium waist. This means they don’t sit super high on the waist, but they aren’t low on the hips either. Exactly that nice, mid-rise height that is easy to wear.
The legs have a barrel shape. That means: roomy, comfortable, and a slightly rounded line. This gives the trousers a modern look without being over the top. The fabric has little stretch, so don't expect a sweatpants feel, but rather a nice, sturdy pair of cotton trousers that hold their shape well.
In doubt between two sizes? For these trousers, I would recommend choosing the larger size, especially since there is little stretch. Do you prefer a slightly tighter waist and does your size usually run large? Then you can stick to your own size.
Combine them with a fitted ribbed sweater or long-sleeve top to balance out the wide leg. Also beautiful with a tucked-in blouse, a cropped sweater, or a nice cardigan. And with that deep navy color, the styling options are endless: red, ecru, denim, chocolate brown, gray, burgundy... everything looks beautifully calm when paired with it.
Material & wash instructions
The MARISSA NAVY is made of organic cotton. That gives the trousers a sturdy, natural feel and ensures they drape beautifully. Because the fabric has little stretch, the shape of the barrel leg remains clearly defined.
Wash the trousers inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees and do not use too much detergent. Don't overfill the washing machine so the fabric can rinse properly and suffers less abrasion.
Take them out of the machine immediately after washing to prevent wrinkles and streaks. Gently pull the trousers into shape and let them air dry. It is best to avoid the dryer, as cotton generally doesn't benefit from it and the fit may change.

Sustainable & fair
THINKING MU is known for conscious materials, bold designs, and clothing that is just a bit different from the standard. These MARISSA trousers fit that perfectly: practical enough for every day, but with enough shape and character to make your outfit special.
And that is exactly what we think it should be. Trousers that you wear often, but that don't feel like "just a pair of trousers."
Don't buy if...
Are you looking for super-tight trousers with a lot of stretch? Then the MARISSA is probably not your model. These trousers have a relaxed fit, a sturdy cotton fabric, and a barrel leg.
But are you looking for comfortable, modern trousers made of organic cotton that are just a bit more exciting than standard dress pants or jeans? Then these are a very good choice.
