Barrel Leg Japanese Denim Jeans & Pants

The barrel leg reintroduced curve to the Nili Lotan trouser: rounded through the hip and thigh, then drawn in at the ankle, so the line reads full and deliberate rather than loose. The women's barrel leg jeans and pants sit on a mid rise at the natural waist and hold that shape down the leg before tapering to a cropped hem that falls cleanly over a flat or a heel. The Shon anchors the range in the Japanese denim the label has worked with since its earliest collections, and the silhouette carries across cotton, washed twill, and leather, in a palette that moves from true black through ecru and soft white. Barrel leg pants ask for a considered top half, which is part of their appeal: a cotton shirt tucked at the front, a fine knit, or a slim tank that leaves the leg to do the work. For a longer, leaner line, the wide leg and straight leg continue the collection’s clean proportions, while the flare leg adds movement at the hem.
