With a dart and pleat at the front waistline leading out to a straight-fit leg, the cuffed trousers have a super cool and relaxed feel to them and also feature concealed side seam pockets and two welt pockets on the back. The shirt features a welted pocket on the front left and a button down collar, with the added detail of small point at the back neck.
