FAQs
Can I machine wash these trousers?
No, due to the silk composition, it is highly recommended to dry clean these trousers to preserve the fabric and tailored structure.
Do these trousers have stretch?
These are tailored trousers designed for structure and fit. They provide a refined, crisp silhouette rather than the high stretch of casual leggings.
How should I store them to prevent creases?
Use a clamp-style trouser hanger to hang them by the hem, which uses gravity to keep the legs smooth and crisp.
Are these suitable for petite or tall frames?
The mid-length cut is designed to sit just above the ankle. Fit may vary based on your inseam, but they are generally versatile for various heights.
What kind of shoes work best with these?
The slim leg cut is highly versatile. Pointed-toe flats provide a professional look, while strappy heels are ideal for formal or evening settings.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkling after sitting for extended periods
Gently steam the affected area using a garment steamer from a safe distance, or have the garment professionally pressed.
Waistband feels too tight when sitting
Ensure the trousers are sitting at your natural waist rather than the hips; check that no bulky items are tucked into the waistband.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the tailored shape and silk integrity, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: These trousers are cut for a structured fit. Ensure they sit comfortably at your natural waistline.
- Styling: They pair best with tucked-in blouses or slim-fit camisoles to maintain the clean lines of the flat front waistband.
- Cleaning: Given the silk construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid shrinkage or fabric damage.
- Storage: Hang the trousers using a proper trouser hanger to keep the hem straight and prevent deep wrinkles.
