Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creasing in the fabric
Avoid machine washing; take the item to a professional dry cleaner to have the fabric steamed and pressed properly.
Hem dragging on the ground
Pair the trousers with taller heels, or consult a professional tailor to adjust the length while preserving the straight-leg silhouette.
The front crease is losing its definition
Store the trousers hanging flat or use a professional garment steamer with caution, focusing only on the crease line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen trousers retain their tailored finish, proper care is essential. Given the silk-blend nature and the precise front crease, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the structural integrity of the fabric and the sharpness of the press. For storage, hang the trousers by the hem using clip hangers to prevent unnecessary creasing. Compatibility-wise, these trousers are best styled with footwear that offers height, such as pointed-toe pumps or block-heeled sandals, to prevent the 113cm hem from dragging. They pair perfectly with other structured pieces in the Karen Millen collection, such as matching blazers, to create a cohesive suit-style look.
