Don't remember the season but I have some straight leg light cotton white slacks from Margiela that look similar.

Those are pretty cool.

Looks like they were inspired by Regency-era dress. Beau Brummell used to wear pants like that.

I believe the buttoned front flap thingy has been a standard feature ever since


Royal Navy - Regency-era

Royal Navy - c.1940

US Navy - c.1940-50

US Navy - today

(currently being updated to a front zipper design with purely decorative buttons, MMargiela would approve...)

I've got a pair from Old Town that uses that front flap design on wide legged trouser.
