FAQs
How long are these trousers?
These trousers feature a floor-grazing length of approximately 113cm.
Can I wash these in a home machine?
Due to the delicate silk-blend material, it is strongly recommended to use a professional dry cleaning service to ensure the longevity of the garment.
Are these suitable for petite heights?
The 113cm length is designed for an elongated look, but shorter individuals may find they need to have the hem professionally shortened to avoid dragging.
What does 'compact stretch' mean?
Compact stretch refers to a dense weave fabric that offers high structural support while containing enough elastic fibers to allow for comfortable movement.
Is the waistline high or mid-rise?
These are designed with a tailored fit through the hip and thigh, typically sitting at a natural waist position for a polished appearance.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a professional garment steamer to gently release wrinkles, taking care not to press the fabric too heavily as this may affect the original finish.
Trouser hem is dragging on the ground
Consider visiting a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted to your specific heel height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the structural integrity of your Karen Millen trousers, ensure you refer to the care label inside the garment. Given the use of silk-blend materials, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve both the fabric texture and the precision of the centre front crease. When storing, always use a dedicated trouser hanger that clips to the hem to allow gravity to keep the legs straight, or fold them over a padded hanger bar to prevent unwanted creases. For compatibility, these trousers work exceptionally well with pointed-toe pumps or block-heeled boots, which complement the straight-leg silhouette without breaking the visual line of the leg.
