Representing an Italian take on casual style, Massimo Alba has crafted these trousers from washed velvet, taking the opulent fabric and giving it an easy, relaxed feel. Wear them as a refined alternative to cords - the soft green shade is just the ticket for a well-dressed weekend. Try an unstructured blazer or shawl-collar sweater. Shown here with a Boglioli shirt , Paul Smith sweater , Barena coat , Loro Piana belt and Tod's shoes .
