When it comes to summer bottoms, denim is generally a no-go if, especially if I’m going to be outside for extended periods, and I can only do shorts in super-casual situations. Plus, I almost exclusively wear sneakers. So, my solution: lightweight trousers that end an inch or two above the ankle. And Harmony Paris obviously gets me because their EU-made Peter Trousers are exactly what I’m talking about. Lightweight, four-season wool suiting fabric, a tapered fit, and a cropped hem. And they’re on sale for $161 (down from $230). If you could see me right now, I’m making that Italian kissing hand motion – MWAH.
