Claudie Pierlot’s
Patine trousers are imbued with a heavy dose of wool to create a softly structured (not to mention super cosy) silhouette that holds its shape. Falling to form wide legs from a comfortable high-rise waist, two contrasting straps – cut from satisfyingly soft velvet, FYI – loop up and over the shoulders, crossing over and fastening with adjustable buttons at the back. Slip them on over Victoriana-style blouses.
