The pants are cut with a straight leg fit to achieve the effortlessly slouchy styling often courted by designer Virgil Abloh, complete with distressing down the outseam and hems for extra texture. A long, branded shoelace belt allows for an adjustable fit. Grab a pair of Off-White™’s seasonal jeans on Moda Operandi’s site for $855 USD.
