These Karen Millen wide-leg tailored trousers are designed for the modern professional woman seeking sophisticated and comfortable attire for corporate settings.

Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too long
Due to the floor-skimming design, professional tailoring or hemming may be required for a perfect fit, depending on your height and footwear.
Fabric loses structure after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended dry clean only instructions. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can damage the fabric's structure.
Creasing around the waistband
Ensure the trousers are stored properly on a hanger. If creasing occurs, use a cool iron setting, taking care around the piping.
