Shorts with pleated front and straight legs. Designed for movement and airflow. Today they are worn in hot weather. At Jaulhac, Eugène Le Moult’s château, pleated shorts were informal garments for daytime leisure before soirées.

The rural setting of Jaulhac allowed for relaxed clothing during the day. Visitors moved between gardens and salons, adjusting attire as gatherings shifted from informal to cultivated.
