Women's luxury trousers and shorts, designer tailoring: the Balmain trouser is born of tailoring, designed to lengthen the leg and redraw the waist. High waists, straight, cigarette or flared cuts, piped pockets, engraved metal buttons and doubled belt loops: every detail extends the vocabulary of the jacket. Grain de poudre, wool serge, nappa lambskin and jersey form a palette of materials chosen for the way they hold. Shorter in cut, shorts and bermudas take up the same construction, worn with a blazer or a fine knit. A wardrobe foundation, never a simple accompaniment.
