Divya Check Wide-Leg Wool Trousers — Brown, Size IT 40 / US 4

Burberry's check is usually the accent: a trim, a lining, a scarf. In the Divya trouser it takes over the whole leg. The pattern is enlarged to an oversized scale and held to brown, beige and black, so it reads as a field of tone more than a brand marker. The cut is the other departure. This is a full-length, wide-leg trouser built as tailoring, so the width of the leg, not a loud color, carries the drama.

The fabric is 100% wool, mid-weight and non-stretch, and it was made in Italy. The waist sits high, with a front rise of 12.4 inches, and closes at the front with a concealed hook and zip, which leaves the front of the waistband clean. Belt loops are set around the waistband for anyone who wants one. Two side pockets stay discreet and leave the line of the leg undisturbed. Laid flat, the inseam runs 33.7 inches and the hem opens to 11.2 inches, which is enough width for the wool to hang rather than cling.

It reads as a tailored trouser wearing the house's most recognizable pattern: part suiting, part graphic, with none of the sportswear shorthand that usually comes with a large check. Worn with a plain knit or a white shirt, the trouser carries the whole outfit, and the pattern does the talking a monogram would do elsewhere. Size US 4 (IT 40).
