FAQs
What material are these trousers made from?
These trousers are crafted from a premium silk blend with added elastane to provide a combination of luxury feel and flexible movement.
Can I machine wash these?
Due to the delicate nature of the silk-blend fabric, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the structure and finish of the garment.
How long are the trousers?
The trousers feature a long, floor-grazing length of approximately 113cm.
Are these trousers suitable for office wear?
Yes, their tailored, structured design makes them an ideal choice for formal business settings and professional events.
Do these trousers have pockets?
The design focuses on a clean, sleek silhouette; please check the garment interior, as pockets are often kept minimal in tailored formal trousers to prevent bulk.
Is the waistband elasticated?
No, these are tailored trousers with a structured waistband, which provides a more formal and defined fit at the waist.
Troubleshooting
The trousers are too long for my height
Take the garment to a professional tailor for a blind hem adjustment to maintain the original straight-leg silhouette.
Small wrinkles appearing after transit
Use a handheld steamer on a low setting or hang the trousers in a steamy bathroom for several minutes to allow gravity to pull out wrinkles.
Crease is losing its definition
Lay the trousers flat on an ironing board and use a pressing cloth with a low-heat iron to redefine the centre front crease.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen trousers retain their tailored fit, please follow these care guidelines:
- Storage: Hang the trousers on a suit hanger using the waistband clips to prevent the legs from wrinkling.
- Cleaning: Given the silk composition, dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the fabric integrity and lining.
- Styling: Always pair with appropriate footwear height; if the trousers are too long for your preferred shoe, consult a professional tailor for a clean hem adjustment.
- Maintenance: If the centre crease softens, use a cool iron or a steamer, ensuring you protect the fabric with a pressing cloth to avoid heat damage to the silk fibers.
