FAQs
What is the leg length of these trousers?

Are these trousers suitable for machine washing?
Due to the silk content and tailored structure, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's quality.
Do these trousers have stretch?
Yes, they feature compact stretch technology, which allows for comfort and shape retention throughout the day.
How should I store them to keep the pleat sharp?
Hang them by the hem on a dedicated trouser hanger to allow gravity to keep the legs straight and crease-free.

Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after wear
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting or hang in a steamy bathroom to gently release wrinkles.
Waistband feels too tight
Ensure you are not wearing thick undergarments that add bulk; the high-rise design is intended to sit precisely at the narrowest part of the waist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the structural integrity and luster of the silk-blend fabric, it is recommended to have these trousers professionally dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing to prevent shrinkage or damage to the tailored finish. When storing, use a wide-shouldered hanger or a designated trouser hanger to avoid creasing the leg line. For the best fit, ensure you align the high-rise waist with your natural waistline before securing any fastenings, and pair them with blouses or fitted tops tucked in to accentuate the structured design.
