High-rise denim with pressed front pleats and a 44-inch leg — these read as trousers first and denim second.
Highlights
✓Front pleats on a high-rise waist — a pleat sets the fullness at the top of the leg and releases it downward, so the line stays sharp where a plain jean would slouch.
✓44-inch leg, cut wide — long enough to fall over a heel or a boot. On a 5 ft 8 in frame in a size Small it reaches the floor, so expect a hem to clear a flat shoe rather than skim it.
✓13.875 across the waist, 21 across the hip on a Small — the high rise sits at the natural waist, which is what gives the wide leg somewhere to hang from.
✓Working side pockets and a classic front closure — real pockets, not sewn-shut decoration, and a front fastening rather than elastic.
✓90% cotton, 10% polyester denim — breathable and cool to wear, and a cool wash with air drying keeps the leg at its full length.
The pleated front is what makes these work with a knit on a Monday as readily as with a jacket on a Saturday. Wide denim without a pleat tends to read as weekend-only; the pressed line pulls it toward tailoring, and the high rise keeps the proportion long rather than slouchy.
They set with the matching Blue Echo denim jacket for a full denim look, or take a plain blouse. See the rest of the jeans and bottoms and the tops that go over them.
