Forbidden Pants Gyatt 500
The Gyatt 500 is our most-requested silhouette, engineered to accentuate natural curves with precision tailoring and adaptive stretch technology. We designed this pair for those who refuse to compromise between structure and comfort.
Featuring our proprietary ContourLift™ weave and reinforced seams, the 500 delivers a sculpted fit that moves with you from morning coffee to late-night plans. This is the pant that started the Forbidden movement.
Gyatt 500 fabric & fit details
ContourLift™ Fabric Technology
The Gyatt 500 features our exclusive ContourLift™ weave, developed over two years of testing to balance compression and breathability. Unlike traditional stretch fabrics that sag after a few hours, our quad-directional weave maintains its sculpting power through extended wear.
The blend of polyester, rayon, and spandex creates a fabric that’s 40% more durable than standard stretch pants while remaining exceptionally soft. We’ve reinforced high-stress zones – inner thighs, seat, and waistband – to withstand 500 complete wear-and-wash cycles without losing shape.
Sizing & Fit Guide for the 500
Our Gyatt 500 runs true to size with a high-rise fit that sits approximately 11 inches above the natural waist. We recommend ordering your standard US pant size – the stretch fabric adapts to your unique shape within the first wear.
The silicone grip strip inside the waistband prevents sliding without uncomfortable tightness. If you’re between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit through the hips, size up one increment. Extended sizing runs from XXS through 4XL to ensure every body finds its perfect match.
Care & Longevity
Machine wash the Gyatt 500 in cold water with like colors – our fabric holds dye exceptionally well, but we always recommend separating darks and lights for the first few washes. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry.
Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce performance over time. The ContourLift™ weave is designed to maintain elasticity without special treatments. We’ve tested each pair through 500+ laundry cycles to verify colorfastness and shape retention.

The Gyatt 500 fabric is treated with colorfast dye technology that resists fading through hundreds of wash cycles. We recommend washing with like colors for the first few washes, but you won’t see the dramatic color loss common with lower-quality stretch pants.
Pilling is minimal due to the tight weave structure and quality fiber blend. Any surface fuzz that appears in the first few wears can be removed with a fabric shaver and won’t return with continued use.
