FAQs
Are these trousers true to size?
Yes, they are designed to follow standard UK sizing, but the stretch-enhanced fabric offers a forgiving fit around the waist and hips.
Can these be machine washed?
Given the silk content, it is highly recommended to dry clean these trousers to avoid damaging the fibers and losing the tailored shape.
What is the length of these trousers?
The trousers have an approximate length of 108cm, which typically falls to the ankle or top of the shoe depending on your height.
Are they suitable for summer wear?
The fabric is breathable due to the silk content, making them appropriate for transitional weather and air-conditioned offices.
Do they lose their shape after sitting for long periods?
The compact stretch technology is specifically included to help the fabric resist bagging and maintain its silhouette even after extended periods of sitting.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer at a low setting or hang the trousers in a humid environment, such as a bathroom while showering, to allow creases to drop out naturally.
Difficulty maintaining a sharp crease
Professional dry cleaners offer pressing services that can restore the intended tailored look of the trouser legs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure these trousers retain their tailored fit and fabric quality, always check the internal care label before cleaning. Due to the silk-enhanced material, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for maintenance to prevent shrinkage or fiber damage. When storing, use a wide-shouldered hanger or fold carefully to avoid unnecessary creasing. Compatibility is high across the Karen Millen range; these trousers pair effortlessly with the brand's tailored blazers and structured tops.
