Its trompe-l'oeil print combines a light blue denim-style upper panel with dark pinstripe trousers, creating an optical illusion that mimics distressed layering. The baggy silhouette has drawn mixed reactions, with discussions noting its potential as officewear or a fashion statement, while some observe the print can resemble worn-out clothing from a distance.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-designer/bottoms/trousers/coated-effect-trompe-l-oeil-pant--18897-29226214?colourId=0","brand":"Acne Studios","condition":"new","product_category":"women designer > bottoms > trousers","material":"Main material: 100% cotton","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/18897/29226214/45/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/18897/29226214/45/A2_2.jpg","https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/18897/29226214/45/A3_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702990868-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/18897/29226214/45/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Coated effect trompe-l'oeil pant product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot cropped from mid-torso to shoes on a plain light gray background with soft even lighting and a faint shadow under the feet;

styling consensus holds that petites need a heel or platform with wide-legs, but the slightly shorter inseam here reduces the lift required.","structured_cotton_drape":"The 100% cotton structured fabric gives the wide leg a crisp, architectural drape that holds its shape rather than collapsing against the body;

shoppers accustomed to standard sizing will find these pants deliberately roomy, not mis-sized.","trompe_l_oeil_as_the_outfit_anchor":"The half-coated trompe-l'oeil design — a clash of jean and banker-striped dress pant — becomes the visual centerpiece of any look, so the rest of the outfit should recede into neutral simplicity: a solid white or black top, minimal jewelry, and clean footwear keep the optical illusion sharp.","30_inch_inseam_vs_typical_acne_lengths":"At 30 inches (75.5 cm), the inseam is notably shorter than the notoriously long Acne Studios jeans — this hem will graze the top of the foot on someone 5'5″ to 5'7″ in a flat shoe or float at the ankle, eliminating the pooling effect that often forces Acne denim shoppers to hem.","shoe_pairings_pointed_toes_and_low_heels":"To maintain the long leg line the high waist creates, a pointed-toe flat or a modest heel lets the wide hem fall uninterrupted;
