Frost Animal Print Balloon Trousers

€110

Available sizes XS S M L

Why it's worth it

The ruffle waist is why this isn't just a wide-leg pant.

The Edit

Balloon-cut trousers with elastic ankles that gather the leg into a lantern shape, cut from a semi-sheer, fluid fabric in a cream-ground animal spot print. A double-tiered ruffle sits along the elasticated waistband — unstructured and unlined — letting the fabric fall with full, unbothered volume. The spot pattern shifts between scattered and streaked, giving the print more depth than a straight animal repeat.
