Split pants were first spotted for the first time at the Spring-Summer 2019 show for Victoria Beckham's eponymous label, the split pant (a style of pants with a close fit and split hem) has been gaining traction ever since, especially on the guests of many fashion shows. Since then, it has appeared with young fashionable labels such as Khaite and WARDROBE.NYC, headed by Christine Centenera to name a few. From sportswear to office wear vibes or even in a minimalist style as seen on Erika Boldrin and Victoria Beckham herself, the split hem pant is surprisingly wearable. It can be worn for an evening out with an all-black bralet with a suit jacket as seen on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or in brocade gold with immaculate pieces as recently sported by Linda Tol. This is without a doubt the ultimate fashion detail to deftly raise your fashion status. Take a look at the Vogue style guide.
