FAQs

What material are these trousers made of?

The trousers are made from a viscose linen woven fabric, which provides a relaxed drape and a subtly textured finish.

How should I style these trousers for a formal event?

For a formal event, pair them with a silk blouse, a fitted blazer, and heeled mules or strappy sandals. Ensure your top is tucked in to highlight the high-rise waist.

Are these trousers suitable for warmer weather?

Yes, the viscose linen blend is breathable, making these trousers comfortable for warmer weather when styled with lighter tops and sandals.

What is the best way to wash and care for these trousers?

It is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Lay flat or hang to dry, and iron on a low heat setting.

Do the side pockets add bulk to the silhouette?

The side pockets are designed to sit discreetly within the seam, aiming to maintain a clean and uninterrupted line without adding noticeable bulk.

What shoe height is recommended for the best look?

The tailored pleat and high waist make these trousers particularly flattering when worn with heels, as they draw the eye upward and create a long, clean line. However, they can also be styled with flats.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear wrinkled

Hang the trousers and use a steam iron on a low setting, or gently mist with water and smooth out by hand.

Fit is too loose or too tight at the waist

Utilize the belt loops to cinch the waist with a belt for a more fitted look. If the fit is significantly off, consider professional tailoring.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat drying, which can stiffen natural fibers.
