Zen Pants

Deep in the mountains of Korea rests a cave temple where monks practice a daily ritual of meditation, yoga, martial arts, and qigong.

During my stay at the temple, I followed the monks around as they seamlessly flowed from one activity to the next. I remember asking one of the monks, “For how long will you meditate today?”

They replied, “Life is a living meditation. Everything we do, from eating mindfully to going for a nice walk in nature, our everyday life can be a meditation.”

Through Zen Pants, I hope to share with you a bit of the inspiration and peace I found during my temple stay.

- Eunice Kimian, founder

Traditional Korean Hanbok (한복) design

Zen Pants are influenced by 한복 (traditional Korean Hanbok) design, as well as 승복 (Korean monkwear) and 도복 (Korean martial arts uniform). The minimalist, multifunctional, and gender-inclusive design of Zen Pants inspires freedom in movement and comfort in stillness.

Hanbok can be beautiful in its simplicity and delicacy, and Zen Pants integrate the beautiful drapes of Hanbok design with the freedom, function, and comfort of monkwear and martial arts uniforms. We pay homage to Hanbok and the beauty and philosophy embodied in them.

“It is love at first sight. I’m obsessed. Truly enamored with the design and the material and the Qi I can feel radiating from these beautifully-made pants. I feel as though you’ve made manifest the exact pants I’ve been wishing for years. For real. Fisherman’s cut with the tapered ankle — combine those two aspects with the luxuriously soft, durable fabric and secure stitching and I am HOOKED. I may never wear another pair of pants again!”
