ABOUT

Featuring a high rise sitting just below the natural waist, a three-piece waistband, angled front pockets, a fly front zipper, and a straight leg, Rika has you covered coming and going.

  • View A is cropped and tailored with deep hem cuffs, a tabbed waistband, angled belt loops, and rounded back pockets with flaps.
  • View B is full-length and utilitarian with a classic waistband, wide belt loops, and carpenter-style pockets in the back.
