Wide Leg Ponte Stretch Trouser - Red - UK 12

Ponte refers to 'ponte di roma,' a type of double-knit fabric known for its firm, stable, and resilient structure. Combined with 'stretch,' it indicates a material that offers both a polished look and comfortable flexibility, making it ideal for structured yet comfortable garments.

The product description highlights them as ideal for 'Autumn Winter' wear. While comfortable, the ponte fabric, being a double-knit, tends to offer warmth, suggesting they might be too heavy or warm for very hot climates or peak summer wear.

The product is described as 'True to size' and a 'Regular fit' for Petite. We recommend consulting Roman's official size guide for their specific measurements and comparing the approximate 69cm inside leg length to your own for the best and most accurate fit.

While versatile and capable of elevating a casual look, these trousers are primarily styled for day wear and smart-casual office environments. For very formal events, you might opt for a more traditionally tailored, structured fabric and cut.

To help minimize color fading, machine wash the trousers on a gentle cycle with similar colors, use cold water, and a mild detergent. Avoiding direct strong sunlight when drying can also help preserve the vibrancy of the red color.

The trousers are crafted from a blend of 76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, and 3% Elastane, contributing to their comfortable stretch and durable quality.

The approximate inside leg length for these Petite trousers is 69cm.

While designed for petite frames, individual leg lengths can vary. Double-check the approximate 69cm inside leg measurement against your personal preference and typical full-length fit. Heeled boots or platforms can also adjust the perceived length and prevent dragging.

Ponte fabric is generally wrinkle-resistant, but air drying flat can significantly help maintain smoothness. If creases persist, iron on a low setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a garment steamer for quick touch-ups.

Ensure the trousers fit true to size as recommended. If pockets consistently gape, it might be due to a fit issue (e.g., if the trousers are too tight across the hips) or if items are being stored in them. The angled pockets are designed to lie flat when empty and with the correct fit.

Although designed with stretch for comfort, ensure you have selected your true size. A size too small could lead to a restrictive feel. If the issue persists, review the material composition (76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, 3% Elastane) for any potential sensitivities you may have to these fabrics.
