Black trousers with one detail that stops them being ordinary: the hem curves with fringe rather than cutting straight across, which lets the ankle show and gives a flat shoe or a boot somewhere to sit. The waist pulls on, so there is no zip or button to contend with, and it flatters by not digging. A slim leg, a mid rise an inch below the navel, a twenty-eight inch inseam. Cotton with polyester and a little spandex means stretch where you want it and shape that holds all day.

• 72% cotton, 25% polyester, 3% spandex
• Pull-on waist, slim fit, mid rise (1 inch below the navel), 28-inch inseam, curved hem
