FAQs

What occasions are these trousers suitable for?

These trousers are designed for occasion wear, including weddings, formal events, races, and sophisticated evening gatherings. Their tailored appearance also makes them suitable for high-impact business events.

How should I style the wide leg silhouette?

To best showcase the silhouette and high waist, pair with fitted or tucked-in tops. Heels are recommended to maintain the elongating effect.

What material are the trousers made of?

The trousers are made from a structured crepe fabric, predominantly Polyester, which provides a smooth, refined finish and holds its shape well.

How do I care for these trousers?

Dry clean only is recommended to maintain the fabric's structure and refined finish. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Can these trousers be tailored?

Yes, like most tailored garments, these trousers can be professionally hemmed or altered by a tailor to achieve a perfect fit, particularly for the length.

What is the rise of the waistband?

The trousers feature a high-rise waistband designed to sit at the natural waist for a polished and defined finish.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear too long

Consult a tailor for professional hemming. Alternatively, wear with high heels to compensate for the length.

Creases are difficult to remove

Use a garment steamer on a cool setting, or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp if ironing directly.

Fabric loses its structure over time

Ensure the trousers are dry cleaned only. Store by folding neatly or hanging to maintain the shape. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tailoring and structure create a sophisticated silhouette.
  • High-quality crepe fabric offers a refined and durable finish.
  • The wide leg and high waist combination is flattering and elongating.
  • Versatile for various formal occasions, acting as a strong wardrobe investment.
  • Designed for a commanding presence through considered dressing.

Cons

  • May require specific styling to adapt for less formal settings due to its structured nature.
  • The floor-grazing length might require hemming for individuals of shorter stature.
  • Dry clean only recommended, adding to maintenance effort.
  • Price point may be a consideration for budget-conscious shoppers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trousers. Ensure the correct size is selected for the best fit. Consider tailoring for precise length adjustment if necessary.

Compatibility:

  • Tops: Best paired with fitted or tucked-in tops to emphasize the high waist and clean lines of the trousers. Sleeveless tops, silk blouses, or fine-knit sweaters work well.
  • Footwear: Heels (pointed-toe, stilettos, or block heels) are recommended to enhance the elongating effect of the wide leg and floor-grazing length. Flats may be worn but can alter the intended silhouette.
  • Outerwear: Tailored blazers, structured coats, or elegant capes complement the trousers for formal occasions.

Care:

  • Material: 100% Polyester.
  • Cleaning: Recommend dry clean only to preserve the fabric's structure and finish. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron setting. Steaming may be preferred for removing creases to avoid direct heat on the fabric.
