Soft earth, full sweep. These high-waisted culottes are cut from olive corduroy with a plush, velvety nap that deepens the color. Pleats at the front release into a wide, swinging leg that stops mid-calf, so the fabric moves like a skirt with the ease of trousers. Side pockets keep the silhouette clean.

Cinch them with a cognac leather belt and a white ribbed tank, or go moodier with a black bodysuit and heeled sandals.
