Blue Monday takes the rounded Barrell leg the label first explored in Beatrice and renders it in a smooth cotton with a touch of elastane, in a clean cornflower blue. Deep front pleats build volume from the gathered, elasticated waistband, and the leg falls full and rounded before narrowing gently towards a cropped ankle hem. The colour reads clear and graphic against the softer corduroy pieces nearby, a solid trouser that carries its own weight in an outfit. Worn with the label's puff-sleeved blouses, it leans into a slightly playful, retro mood, though it settles just as easily under a plain knit for daytime. The Cala Blouse in forest green makes a considered match, its earthy tone grounding the trouser's brightness without competing with it. It is a trouser built for movement, roomy enough for a full stride yet neat enough at the ankle to sit well with a loafer or a flat boot.
