The six shapes

Balloon. High waist, volume through the thigh, taper at the ankle; in wool and in organic cotton, and the shape the jeans copy. Triangle. Wide at the hip, straight and narrowing to the hem, in cotton and wool. Circle. A circular drape worked into the hip of a wool trouser. Multi-layered. A second waistband and hem stacked on a straight trouser, in wool, wool blend and the linen-silk blend. Dragged. The waistband and fly pulled off-centre, in gabardine, wool blend and the linen-silk blend. Sleeve-tie wrap. A shirt sleeve built into the waist, wrapped and knotted as a belt, in gabardine and the linen-silk blend. Every one is defined in the glossary.

Which top with which trouser

The balloon and triangle trousers take a tucked t-shirt and a square blazer: the Couture Square T-Shirt in White ($720) and the Couture Wool Square Blazer in Black ($2,570). The multi-layered and circle trousers take a plain top so the shape shows: the Drape Body in Black ($720) and the Cotton Multi-Layered Tank Top in Black ($690). The dragged trousers take a dragged shirt only if you want the full family; a plain white shirt is the safer pairing. The sleeve-tie wraps take a bralette, the Linen-Silk Blend Bralette in Beige ($880), and an open shirt. For evening, the multi-layered wool trouser under the Jabot Organza Top in Black ($1,680). See how to wear Viktor and Rolf and the tops guide.

Sizing and fit

Letter sizes, XXS to XXL, true to size. A size S trouser is typically a 70 cm waist and a 77 cm inseam; the balloon shapes measure up to 192 cm at the hip in an S by design, so do not size down to slim them. The balloon and triangle trousers are loose; the dragged and multi-layered are regular; the circle is regular with volume at the hip. All wool and gabardine trousers are dry clean only. See the size guide. Shop across designer pants at Luxury Shoes and the Viktor and Rolf brand page.
