Summer Trousers

What makes a great summer trouser? It sits lightly on the skin, lets air circulate and keeps its beautiful silhouette even on long days. Flowing materials and soft jersey qualities ensure wonderful comfort, while elastic or partly stretchy waistbands add extra freedom of movement. Wide shapes look feminine and elegant, cropped 7/8 styles bring lightness into the outfit. On particularly hot days, summer shorts become the easy fashion favourite. High-waisted styles accentuate the waist, while loose legs skim the hips and thighs. The result is a look that feels relaxed and keeps every bit of its fashion polish.

Summer trousers are true quick-change artists. At the office, combine a flowing pair with a silk top, a light blazer and loafers or slingbacks. For a stroll through town, cropped trousers or shorts meet a simple shirt, trainers and a crossbody bag. At the beach, wide satin trousers can be worn casually over your swimsuit – with sandals, sunglasses and a basket bag. When temperatures drop in the evening, a short jacket or a fine cardigan is all you need. For dinner, heels, jewellery and a refined top bring instant elegance. This way, a single pair of summer trousers takes you effortlessly through the entire day.

Printed trousers bring colour, movement and personality into your wardrobe. Floral designs are appearing bigger, brighter and bolder than ever, while watercolour prints with softly merging shades recall a summer work of art. Paisley patterns radiate boho flair and give wide silhouettes a relaxed retro note. To keep your printed trousers centre stage, pair them with a calm top that picks up one shade of the pattern. For a bolder fashion statement, go for a coordinated all-over look with a matching top or blazer. A sea of flowers, a graphic play of colour or ornamental paisley: at Ana Alcazar, the summer trouser becomes a canvas for exceptional design.

Knitwear in summer? Absolutely – when it comes this light and refined. Fine-gauge summer knit trousers and styles with openwork structures appear semi-sheer, let air reach the skin and subtly showcase the legs. At the same time, their flowing drape lends the look an elegant, almost luxurious note. Worn over a bikini or swimsuit, they create a stylish beach ensemble; with an opaque body, a fine top and sandals, the openwork knit trouser becomes perfectly city-ready. It looks especially striking as a coordinated two-piece set. The play of reveal and cover makes fine summer knit the perfect material for women who love to combine sensual lightness with exceptional style.
