Balloon Trousers

Balloon Trousers from Vivienne Westwood, cut in black cotton with a rounded, high-volume leg. Dropped crotch and deep pleating fall into a wide taper, exaggerated through the seat and gathered at an elastic drawstring waist. Cotton holds a crisp, dry hand that keeps the pleats standing rather than collapsing, so the volume reads as architecture. Flap pockets sit at the back, with metal-tipped drawcords at the front. Wear them cropped over a boot with the excess breaking at the ankle, balanced by a lean top.
