{"product_id":"gerard-darel-trouser-dep29e104-navy","title":"Gerard Darel | Wide-Leg Corduroy Trousers - Navy","description":"\u003cp\u003eCorduroy has a way of making navy feel warmer, and these wide-leg trousers from Gerard Darel lean into that quality fully. Cut in a plain corduroy with a fine, even rib, the fabric catches light along its ridges and softens it in the grooves, giving the trousers a depth that flat cotton twill never quite achieves. The navy reads almost ink-dark in shadow and lightens to a dusty blue where the pile catches the sun — a colour that anchors a wardrobe without ever feeling flat or utilitarian.\n\nThe hand of the fabric is where the trousers earn their everyday appeal. Corduroy is often associated with structure and stiffness, but this version has been given a touch of elastane alongside the cotton, so the material moves with the body rather than resisting it. It has enough weight to hold the wide-leg shape and drape cleanly from hip to hem, but enough give at the waist and thigh to make sitting, walking and folding into a car seat entirely unremarkable — which, for trousers worn often, is exactly the point.\n\nThe construction is straightforward and considered. A wide, belt-looped waistband sits at the natural waist and fastens with an engraved button above a zip fly, giving the front a clean, uncluttered line. Five pockets — the classic jeans configuration, with two coin-sized details at the front and patch pockets behind — keep the silhouette functional without adding bulk. The wide leg falls straight from the hip, skimming rather than clinging, and pools gently at the ankle for a relaxed, slightly louche finish that corduroy carries particularly well.\n\nIn motion, the trousers have a soft swing rather than a swish — corduroy's texture gives it a slightly heavier drape than a smooth cotton, so the leg moves as one column rather than fluttering. That makes them read as considered rather than casual, even though the fabric and fit are inherently relaxed. They sit well with boots or loafers, where the ankle-grazing hem can be left long or cuffed once, exposing a sliver of sock or bare foot depending on the season.\n\nThis is a trouser built for the long stretch of the year when a jacket is still needed but heavy wool feels premature. Worn with a fine knit and a blazer, they move easily into an office or a lunch that runs long; paired with a plain white shirt tucked loosely and flat mules, they read as off-duty Parisian rather than deliberately dressed. The navy works equally well against black, camel, cream or another navy — a rare trouser that resists looking like it is trying too hard while doing quite a lot of the outfit's work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"NAVY \/ 34","offer_id":41821144973445,"sku":"DEP29E104","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ 36","offer_id":41821145006213,"sku":"DEP29E104","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ 38","offer_id":41821145038981,"sku":"DEP29E104","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEP29E104-NAVY-1.jpg?v=1787265171","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-trouser-dep29e104-navy","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
