FAQs
What material are these trousers made of?
These trousers are made from Polyester, offering durability and wrinkle resistance.
Are the back pockets functional?
No, the rear pockets are false welt pockets, designed for aesthetic purposes only and are not functional.

It is recommended to machine wash them cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors and either air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent damage to the Polyester fabric.

Will these trousers wrinkle easily?
Polyester is known for its wrinkle-resistant properties. While not entirely wrinkle-proof, they tend to resist creasing better than some other fabrics, especially if cared for correctly.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear wrinkled after washing
After washing, promptly remove the trousers from the machine and either hang them to air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth.
Fabric feels static or clings
Polyester can sometimes generate static electricity. To reduce static, use a fabric softener during washing or a dryer sheet during tumble drying. A quick spray of anti-static spray can also help when wearing.
Stains are difficult to remove
For best results, treat stains immediately. Blot the stain (do not rub) with a clean cloth and a mild stain remover suitable for synthetic fabrics. Follow with a gentle wash as per care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck
Rub a graphite pencil or a bar of dry soap along the teeth of the zipper. Move the zipper up and down gently a few times to distribute the lubricant. Avoid forcing a stuck zipper.
Top button feels loose
If the top button feels loose, it's best to reinforce the stitching by hand with a needle and thread to prevent it from falling off. Use a color-matching thread for a seamless repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
Upon receiving your trousers, it's recommended to gently steam or iron them on a low setting to remove any creases from packaging. This ensures they present their best appearance from the first wear.
Compatibility
These black wide-leg trousers are incredibly versatile and compatible with a wide range of tops, footwear, and accessories:
- Tops: Pair with anything from crisp button-down shirts, elegant blouses, and tailored vests to casual t-shirts, cozy sweaters, and crop tops.
- Footwear: Complement with heels, ankle boots, loafers, or smart trainers, depending on the desired look. The wide leg often works well with chunkier soles or pointed-toe shoes.
- Accessories: Utilize the belt loops for a decorative belt, and add statement jewelry, scarves, or bags to complete your outfit.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Polyester trousers, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Hot water can cause Polyester to shrink or lose its shape over time.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang to air dry. Polyester dries relatively quickly. High heat can damage the fibers and lead to static or pilling.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool or low-heat setting. Place a cloth between the iron and the trousers to prevent direct heat contact, which can cause scorching or melting of the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Hang your trousers to prevent creases and maintain their shape, especially the wide-leg drape.
