Why Tibi is worth it
Tibi makes tailoring that feels relaxed but never sloppy: easy, full-cut trousers, sculpted skirts and clean suiting you can wear every day.
Each piece follows Amy Smilovic's idea of creative pragmatism: one interesting move, like a sculpted pleat or a slit, on clothes that still work for daily life. Trousers sit just below the waist with a long, easy line, the fit is built on the same blocks season after season, and the fabrics run from crisp cotton poplin to heavy silk and wool blends.

About Tibi
Amy Smilovic founded Tibi in 1997 while living in Hong Kong, after early jobs in finance and advertising, and it grew into a womenswear label based in New York City.
It became known for what she calls creative pragmatism: clothes with one bold design idea, a relaxed proportion and a polish that holds up through a working day, with the full-cut trouser at its center.

What shoppers say
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
- Fit
Fit is built on the same pattern blocks every season, so a size that worked before should work again. Oversized styles have the ease built in and the brand says not to size up for the look; some shoppers find relaxed pants run a little large.
- Best seller
The Stella pant is its best seller: a mid-rise trouser in a virgin wool blend that sits just below the waist and works year round.

Full-price pieces can be returned within 14 days with a prepaid US label, less a $12 fee. Anything on sale or in the outlet is final sale, with no returns or exchanges, so be sure of the size before buying a markdown.
