• Fine open-worked lace with scattered hotfix embellishments that catch the light as you move - the detail reads from across a room without being overdone.
• Semi-sheer construction throughout, designed to be layered over shorts or briefs for a deliberate, considered look rather than worn as a standalone piece.
• The flared leg kicks out from the knee in a wide, sweeping shape that falls all the way to the floor, giving the silhouette a long, unbroken line from hip to hem.
• Elastane in the lace blend means the fabric moves with you - it stretches slightly rather than pulling, so the fit stays neat through the hip without feeling restrictive.
• Fully lined through the seat and upper leg for coverage where it counts, with the sheer lace left unlined from the knee down to let the flare flow freely.

The lace has a softness to it that keeps the trousers from feeling stiff - they drape cleanly and the flared hem sweeps the floor with a little weight behind it. Pair them with a fitted longline top in a matching fabric, as the model does here, for a co-ord that makes a full statement on a Christmas night out. If you're building the look separately, a simple bodysuit tucked in keeps the focus on the lace and the silhouette. Heels are the natural choice - a pointed kitten heel, as styled here, keeps the look refined while letting the hem graze the floor at the right length. This is a trouser built for occasions with atmosphere: a festive party, a late Christmas dinner, or a New Year's eve celebration where you want the outfit to do the talking without reaching for a dress.
