Easy does it with the Nikki. The mid-rise fit is easy at the hips and thighs with a slight barrel, tapered hem. The pair is a faded black shade to show the highs and lows of the wash. Unlike most traditional five-pocket pairs, the Nikki has no side seam but a slightly asymmetrical dart towards the front has been added along with Favorite Daughter embroidery at the back waistband.
