Why Duette for Performance
MOVE FREELY
Six performance pant silhouettes with pull-on waists and four-way stretch, designed for comfort through rehearsals, performances and long days.
EASY CARE
Machine-washable concert-black pants designed for repeat wear — without the dry-cleaning routine.
STAGE-READY POLISH
Clean, refined silhouettes that create a polished concert-black line while still feeling like clothes you want to wear beyond the stage.
BUILT FOR THE WAY WOMEN ACTUALLY PERFORM
We spent years sitting in concert halls and music schools watching women perform — from professional stages to conservatories and orchestras. Again and again, we saw women choosing sophisticated black pants and separates rather than traditional formalwear.
That observation shaped The Performers Edit: polished concert black designed for rehearsal, performance, work and everything around them.
One wardrobe. Not a costume.

Concert black questions
Can women wear pants to an orchestra concert?
Women performers can wear black pants when their orchestra’s dress code permits them. Check requirements for ankle coverage, neckline and sleeves.
What do section players wear?
Section players typically follow their ensemble’s concert-black dress code. Choose black separates that meet the required coverage and allow comfortable playing.
What sleeve lengths work with an instrument?
Choose sleeves that allow your playing movement and meet the ensemble’s dress code. Waverly’s bracelet-length long flutter sleeve stays out of the way of an instrument.
Are the pants washable?
The featured ponte and matte-jersey pants are machine washable. Follow the garment’s care label for washing and drying.
