Pila High-Rise Straight Leg Woven Trousers

Breaking out of the boardroom, tailored trousers are still as hard working as ever – but this season the practical piece takes a more casual approach to life. Proof? This Pila pairing from Maje. Partly polished with a straight leg silhouette and partially laidback courtesy of a cropped cut, these bottoms are the secret tool in mastering an androgynous aesthetic after office hours. Plus, with the shape's leg-lengthening powers you really can’t go wrong.

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
