Product Information
Full details
These Karen Millen Tailored Trousers in Blue, Size 16, are designed for the discerning woman seeking sophisticated and versatile legwear for refined occasions. The key benefit is their ability to create an elongating, flattering silhouette that transitions effortlessly from formal events to professional settings. A minor caveat to consider is that the compact stretch fabrication, while holding shape, requires careful handling during care to maintain its smooth finish. Key features include a straight leg with a subtle flare, a high-rise structured waistband with a self-tie detail, and a smooth, sleek finish with a clean front.
