THE DECONSTRUCTED CARGO SHORT | Unisex

Description

A cargo short that doesn’t read as cargo — clean in front, angular on the side, and built like denim.

Mid-waisted cargo short with a structured waistband and fly front. Back yoke that holds the shape at the waist, just like jeans construction. Front with classic denim pockets, plus large angular patch pockets with pointed flap on the side leg — the flap is topstitched with a V-shape, and the pocket itself is engineered with a diagonal seam.

Hem is cut on an angle, raw but clean, slightly longer at the back. Relaxed through the thigh, hits at the knee.

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

Classes are provided in English and Dutch.
