FAQs

What is the primary material of these trousers?

The trousers are made from a compact stretch fabrication, designed to hold its shape.

How should I style these trousers for a formal event?

Pair them with a fitted top, an oversized blazer draped over the shoulders, and pointed-toe heels for a sharp, directional look.

Can these trousers be worn for everyday professional settings?

Yes, for a more understated approach, tuck in a silk blouse and add a single-breasted blazer for boardroom-ready polish.

What is the approximate length of the trousers?

The approximate length is 108cm.

How do I care for the compact stretch fabrication?

Dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cool water and a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry flat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Does the self-tie detail offer significant adjustment?

The self-tie detail provides a refined, tailored finish and allows for some adjustment at the high-rise waist.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear creased after wearing.

Gently steam or iron the trousers on a low setting. For future wear, ensure they are properly stored hanging or folded neatly.

Fabric feels stiff or less smooth.

This is typical of compact stretch fabrics and will ease with wear. Ensure proper care is followed; avoid harsh detergents.

The length is too long.

Professional tailoring services can easily hem the trousers to your desired length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trousers and require no specific setup. Ensure they are properly ironed or steamed before wearing for the best presentation.

Compatibility: Designed to be paired with a range of tops, from fitted knits to silk blouses, and blazers. They work best with heeled footwear to maintain the intended silhouette and length. Consider the occasion when choosing accompanying accessories.

Care Instructions: Given the silk material and tailored construction, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape. Alternatively, a very gentle hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent may be possible, followed by a thorough rinse. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side, or use a steamer.
