Knitwear has always been a signature at Alaia –whether that be via a sculptural gown or sleek tailoring. Falling into that latter category (albeit tweaked to suit warmer climes), these shorts are spun with stretch so although the high-waisted, pleated construction makes for a smart silhouette, they ’re also incredibly comfy – exactly the combination we ’re after for balmy evenings out on holiday.
