Some trousers need the right top, the right shoes and a bit of thought before they leave the wardrobe. These aren’t those trousers. Gingham barrel leg trousers have enough personality to carry a simple outfit, but the check is classic enough that you won’t feel as though you’re wearing a passing trend.
The barrel shape is what gives them their edge. Fuller through the leg and drawn in towards the hem, it creates a soft, rounded outline that looks great with uncomplicated layers. A shorter boxy top shows off the shape, while a longline shirt gives you that loose, layered look that works so well with Laundry b pieces.
For women's wardrobes built around comfort, gingham is particularly useful because it sits happily alongside plain colours. Black, cream, navy, khaki and denim are easy partners, but brighter shades work too. You can keep the whole outfit quiet or use the check as an excuse to bring in a little colour.
Our gingham barrel leg pants also make a good change from the usual jeans-and-top combination. Pull them on for a day out, take them on holiday, or wear them when you want to feel comfortable at home without looking as though you have given up on getting dressed.
For ladies who enjoy looser silhouettes, the curved leg brings shape without clinging. It works especially well in a plus size wardrobe, where proportion and movement can make all the difference to how an outfit feels.
Made in Italy and designed with Laundry B's easy-going approach in mind, our gingham barrel leg trousers are the kind of piece that settles quickly into your wardrobe. Wear them with cotton and linen layers, mix them with pieces you already own, and don’t worry about making everything match. Gingham is better when it feels a little relaxed.
