Aligne balloon-leg trousers return as summer fashion trend alongside long shorts styling tips

Aligne has restocked its Meryl balloon‑leg trousers, the original design that sold out quickly and is praised for comfort, heatwave‑proof fabric made from recycled fibres, an elastic waist and ankle cuffs. The new range adds colour and fabric variants, including a glossy aubergine satin pair and a denim version, while retaining the voluminous silhouette that has become a summer staple.

A separate fashion guide highlights how to dress long, knee‑skimming shorts for the season, recommending seven specific items such as preppy polo shirts, halterneck tops, ballet flats, flip‑flops, bikini tops, trucker hats and oversize button‑up shirts to elevate the look.
