FAQs

What occasions are these trousers suitable for?

These trousers are highly versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, including office wear, weekend lunches, casual outings, and evening events.

How should I care for the viscose linen fabric?

It is recommended to dry clean only for best results, or hand wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low heat setting.

Do the side pockets add bulk?

No, the side pockets are designed to sit discreetly within the seam, maintaining a clean and uninterrupted line without adding bulk.

How does the straight leg silhouette fit?

The trousers feature a straight leg silhouette with a generously wide cut that skims the body and falls cleanly to the floor, designed for an elongating effect.

What type of top pairs best with these trousers?

Fitted tops, bodysuits, tucked-in vests, silk blouses, or even a simple tank top complement the wide-leg silhouette beautifully. The high waist works well with cropped or tucked-in styles.

Can these trousers be worn year-round?

The viscose linen blend offers breathability, making them suitable for warmer weather. For cooler seasons, they can be layered with heavier knits or blazers.

What is the benefit of the pleat detailing?

The pleat detailing at the front adds considered tailoring and a sophisticated dimension to the silhouette, enhancing the overall refined look.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear wrinkled

Gently steam or iron the trousers on a low heat setting. Wearing them while slightly damp can also help reduce creases.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat drying, which can affect the fabric's natural drape.

Fit is not as expected

Refer to the brand's size guide for accurate measurements. The 'straight leg' and 'wide cut' offer a specific silhouette; consider if this aligns with your preferred fit.
