FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for formal events?

While they offer a refined look, their design is primarily casual. They are best suited for daytime events, errands, or relaxed work environments.

Does the waistband have elastic?

Yes, the drawstring waist is designed to provide flexible comfort throughout the day.

How do I choose the right size?

These trousers are available in UK sizing. We recommend checking the brand's standard size chart to ensure a proper fit at the waist.

Can I put these in the dryer?

To prevent shrinkage and protect the fabric, air drying is the best practice for these cotton trousers.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The side pockets are designed for convenience and can accommodate small personal items, though they are primarily for aesthetic and light utility.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles after washing

Lightly mist the fabric with water and use a low-heat iron or a garment steamer to smooth out the cotton.

Drawstring slips into the casing

Use a safety pin attached to one end of the drawstring to guide it back through the waistband opening.

Fabric feels slightly stiff

Ensure you are using a fabric softener in the wash and avoid high-heat drying, which can cause cotton to stiffen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your & Other Stories trousers retain their fit and finish, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the integrity of the cotton fibers.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
  3. Ironing: If needed, use a low-heat iron setting. For best results, iron while the fabric is slightly damp.
  4. Storage: Hang the trousers or fold them neatly to minimize permanent creasing in the wide legs.
