These trousers provide a smooth, flattering silhouette thanks to their high-quality ponte stretch fabric and elasticated waist, making them an ideal staple for smart-casual wardrobes.

FAQs
Are these trousers true to size?
Yes, these are designed to standard UK sizing for petite frames, but the stretch fabric offers some flexibility in fit.
Can these be tumble dried?
It is recommended to avoid tumble drying as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and cause the fabric to shrink.
What does 'ponte' fabric mean?
Ponte is a thick, double-knit fabric that is known for being sturdy, wrinkle-resistant, and offering excellent stretch recovery.
Are there pockets on these trousers?
This model focuses on a sleek, minimalist silhouette and typically does not feature side pockets to maintain a smooth aesthetic.
Is the waist high or mid-rise?
The elasticated waist is designed to be a comfortable mid-to-high rise, providing secure coverage for most body types.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears slightly wrinkled after unpacking
Hang the trousers in a steamy bathroom for 10 minutes or use a low-heat steamer to smooth the fabric naturally.
Waistband feels too snug
The ponte fabric provides significant stretch; ensure the waistband is positioned at your true waist rather than your hips to utilize the maximum elasticity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Comfortable elasticated waist design
- High-quality ponte fabric with good stretch
- Tailored specifically for petite proportions
- Wrinkle-resistant material suitable for travel
- Versatile style for office or evening wear
Cons
- Limited to petite sizing only

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers are designed for a pull-on fit; simply step into them and adjust the waistband to sit comfortably at your natural waist. They are highly compatible with fitted tops, blouses, and light knitwear, which can be tucked in to highlight the clean lines of the waistband.
To ensure longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water to protect the elastic fibers.
- Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging to prevent the fabric from distorting under heat.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, though the ponte fabric is naturally resistant to wrinkling.
- Storage: Fold the trousers or hang them by the waist to maintain the shape of the leg seams.
