Loren takes the skirt-trouser idea and cuts it short: a knee-skimming culotte in bold teal-blue corduroy, its fine ribbing catching the light with every step. A deep box pleat at the front gives the leg its generous, skirt-like swing, gathered in by a drawn waistband and finished with a thin rust-orange edge at the hem. Worn with tall boots, the proportion reads modern rather than nostalgic — playful without losing its polish. There's a quiet practicality to the shape, with side pockets set into the seam. Loren is part of the FW26 collection.
