The story of cigarette trousers stretches back further than you might think. While women in Central Asia have worn practical trouser styles for millennia, the sleek cigarette cut we know today emerged in the 1920s and '30s as ladies began borrowing from menswear amid shifting social norms. But it was the 1950s that truly catapulted them into the spotlight. Icons like Audrey Hepburn championed the look in films such as Funny Face, pairing slim, ankle-grazing pants with ballet flats and fitted tops for an effortless gamine vibe. By the 1960s, Yves Saint Laurent revolutionised fashion with his "Le Smoking" tuxedo suit, making cigarette trousers a symbol of empowerment and androgynous elegance. Revived in the '80s and beyond, they've endured as a testament to timeless style, adapting through decades without losing their core appeal.

Fast forward to today, and cigarette trousers are worn with a fresh, adaptable spirit. They're perfect for layering - tuck in a crisp blouse for office polish, or team with a silk camisole and heels for evening allure. In casual settings, add tassel or horsebit loafers for a relaxed yet refined twist. Their tapered design flatters most body types, elongating the legs and creating a streamlined profile that works across seasons. Our silk styles also transition seamlessly from day to night.
The narrow cut of our cigarette trousers accentuates curves without restricting movement. They're understated yet striking, allowing accessories or bold tops to shine while providing a sleek foundation. All handmade in London, our cigarette trousers come in opulent silk douppion for a soft, luminous glow. Why not make them your next style statement?
