Why it's worth it
Balloon-leg denim cropped at exactly the right moment — the pleat does the shaping.
The Edit
Deep front pleats sweep into an exaggerated wide-leg culotte, cropped just below the knee with a slim, structured waistband and button-and-zipper fly. Side hem slits open slightly at the ankle for stride, keeping the volume intentional rather than stiff. The 87% cotton blend holds the balloon shape without starch — the silhouette is baked into the cut.
