FAQs
What does 'Petite' mean for these trousers?
The 'Petite' designation means these trousers are specifically cut for women who are typically 5'3" (160cm) and under, with a shorter inseam (approx. 68.5cm) and adjusted proportions to ensure a better fit.
Are these trousers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, crafted from a comfortable stretch jersey ponte fabric with an elasticated waist, they are designed for all-day comfort and flexibility.
Can I wear these for a formal occasion?
These trousers are best suited for smart-casual, office, or everyday wear. For highly formal occasions, you might consider trousers made from more structured or luxurious fabrics.
How do I determine my size?
The product is designed to be 'True to size'. It's recommended to select your usual UK dress size for the best fit. Info needed: [Provide a size chart link or measurement guide if available.]
What material are these trousers made from?
They are made from a blend of 76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, and 3% Elastane, providing comfort, stretch, and durability.
Will these trousers shrink after washing?
When machine washed according to care instructions (typically cool wash, low heat drying), significant shrinkage is unlikely due to the synthetic blend material.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too short or too long.
These are designed for petite sizing (approx. 68.5cm inside leg). If the length isn't right, verify if you typically wear petite or if a regular fit might be more suitable for your height.
Fabric feels restrictive or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected your 'true to size' fit. While they feature stretch, an incorrect size can still cause discomfort. If new, the fabric may soften slightly after the first wash.
Pockets gape or look bulky.
The pockets are functional angled side pockets. Ensure nothing oversized is stored in them. If persistent, check if the fit around the hips is correct.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
While generally wrinkle-resistant, remove promptly from the washing machine and air dry or tumble dry on low. Iron on a low setting if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
These trousers require no complex setup. Simply select your true-to-size fit.
Compatibility
- Target Audience: Designed for adult women who typically wear petite clothing sizes.
- Footwear: Highly compatible with ankle boots, flats, and low heels due to the straight leg and full-length design.
- Wardrobe: Their classic black color and versatile style make them a complementary addition to most wardrobes, pairing well with various tops, blouses, and knitwear.
Care Instructions
To ensure your trousers maintain their shape, color, and comfort for a long time, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine washable. Always check the garment's care label for specific temperature recommendations, but typically a cool wash cycle is suitable for synthetic blends.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain fabric integrity. Promptly remove from dryer.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. The elastane content means they are often wrinkle-resistant, reducing the need for ironing.
- Storage: Store folded or hung to maintain their straight leg silhouette.
