THE PLEATED CUFF TROUSER | Unisex

Description

Wide-leg, mid-waisted trousers. The side seam is shifted slightly forward, so the front panel stays flat and minimal, with side seam pockets hidden in the shift. All the volume lives in the back panel, released through knife pleats that are pressed at the waistband and open as you move.

Mid-waisted with a structured waistband and fly front, wide through the leg, finished with a deep turned-up cuff and a small side slit at the hem that shows the shoe and keeps the drape from pooling.

Cut to hold its shape in wool suiting but still move soft. From the front it reads clean and long, from the back it reads architectural.

All items in this collection are exclusive designs by Atelier Aida.

Classes are provided in English and Dutch.
