Generously cut wide leg silhouette that sweeps elegantly to the floor, creating a long, elongating line at approximately 109cm in length.

The high waist and floor-grazing length work in harmony to create a seamlessly elongated silhouette, making these trousers one of the most versatile and impactful pieces in the Karen Millen wardrobe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions:
Dry Clean Only: To preserve the fabric's structure and color, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
Steaming: If creases or wrinkles appear, use a garment steamer on a low setting. Avoid direct ironing, which can flatten the pleats and texture of the crepe fabric.
Storage: Hang the trousers on a padded hanger to maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially on the wide legs and pleats.
Styling Notes:
These trousers pair well with fitted tops to balance the volume of the wide leg.
Heels are recommended to enhance the elongating effect of the floor-grazing length.
Consider tonal or contrasting blazers for a more formal ensemble.
