FAQs
What material are these trousers made of?
These trousers are crafted from a high-quality silk blend, offering a soft feel and elegant drape.
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Due to the delicate silk construction, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the fabric and maintain the tailored finish.
How do I ensure the correct fit for the high waist?
The high waist is designed to sit at the natural waistline. Measure your natural waist and compare it to standard UK sizing for the best fit.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the trousers feature discreetly integrated side pockets that provide practicality without sacrificing the sleek silhouette.
What type of shoes pair best with this wide leg style?
Heels, such as pumps or block-heeled boots, work best to elongate the leg and prevent the hem from dragging, though they can also be styled with polished loafers.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer on a gentle, low-heat setting to release wrinkles without damaging the silk fibers.
Trouser waist feels too loose or tight
As these trousers feature a structured high-waist fit, ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments and check against the specific Karen Millen size guide for the UK size 12 fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen trousers retain their tailored shape, proper care is essential. Given the silk composition, it is recommended to dry clean these trousers to preserve the integrity of the fabric weave and the precision of the pleats. When storing, hang them by the waistband or use a trouser hanger that secures the hem to prevent deep creasing. Avoid using high-heat irons directly on the fabric; if you need to remove minor wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle at a safe distance from the silk. For styling, the grey color palette is highly compatible with neutral tones like black, white, navy, or deep burgundy, making it a highly adaptable staple piece for your closet.
