Unpretentious, simple, lightweight and honest-to-goodness clothing—thoughtfully made so that everyone benefits.
Just as in life, ‘who’ and ‘what’ we surround ourselves with is ‘who’ and ‘what’ we become, we believe this to be true of our clothes. What we ‘wear' we become. In other words, today's tight and heavy clothes make us tense, taught and restricted. Anima started through a need for men’s clothes to be lightweight and free—from fabric to fit.
By wearing Anima, you combine lightness with simplicity, form with function, style with grace. You are comfortable and free to be human.
Anima pants are designed and made from high-quality, sustainable and breathable materials. Each garment is lovingly handmade upon order so colours and fabrics may vary. This is also why our delivery times can take up to 14 days.
Our pants come in two sizes: long and short, with a drop crotch fit and a premium elasticised and adaptable waist (and belt hooks).
The etymology of anima (n.)
The word anima originates from Latin. From the outside, anima describes ideas such as a current of air, wind, breath, the vital principle of life. From the inside, anima describes the spirit or vital force and the soul in man, encompassing the intellect, consciousness, intention and courage.
In 1920 Psychologist Carl Jung began using the term to describe the true inner self of an individual, as opposed to the outer aspect of the personality or persona. In Jungian Psychology, anima is the part of the psyche directed inwards in touch with the subconscious, the soul. Jung described the anima as the unconscious feminine side of a man.
Anima or soul development in a man is a process in which he opens up to emotionality and spirituality. This creates a new conscious paradigm that includes intuitive processes, creativity and imagination. Through this, he experiences a refreshed psychic sensitivity, empathy for others and complete openness.
