BALMAIN

Slim-fit high-rise wool cycling shorts

Classics are so-called for a reason, but with the dynamic Olivier Rousteing as Creative Director, Balmain was bound to branch out into more experimental territory. In lieu of jersey, the Parisian label spins its venture into the infamous bicycle shorts trend out of pure wool, tailoring them with the same signature craftsmanship that made the Maison’s name since its inception in 1945. Break out the strappy sandals and wear them with the matching top, we say.
