FAQs

Are these trousers machine washable?

No, given the delicate velvet material, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning only.

What is the best way to store these trousers?

Hang them by the waistband using a garment hanger in a breathable fabric bag to avoid crushing the velvet pile.

Will these trousers work for a petite frame?

The 82cm length is designed for a 5'9" frame, so individuals of shorter stature may need to have the hem professionally shortened.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The trousers are designed with a structured fit, focusing on tailored lines rather than elastic stretch.

Can I wear these for casual daily use?

While versatile, the velvet construction and tailoring are primarily intended for formal or occasion wear.

Troubleshooting

Velvet pile looks flattened or crushed

Use a light steam from a distance and gently brush the pile in the opposite direction to help the fibers lift.

Trouser hem is too long for your height

Take the garment to a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted to your preferred length while maintaining the wide-leg drape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, structured silhouette suitable for formal events
  • High-quality velvet fabric with a rich light-catching texture
  • Tailored design provides a flattering and secure high-waist fit
  • Versatile black color coordinates easily with various formal tops

Cons

  • Requires careful storage to prevent velvet crushing
  • Length may require professional tailoring for those under 5'9"
  • Velvet material is sensitive to moisture and spills

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trousers in pristine condition, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Care: Due to the delicate nature of velvet, dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the pile. Avoid ironing directly on the velvet; if steaming is necessary, use a professional garment steamer from a distance to avoid crushing the fibers.
  • Storage: Hang the trousers using a proper trouser hanger with clips to maintain the shape of the waistband and prevent folding marks. Avoid overcrowding in your closet, which can flatten the velvet texture.
  • Compatibility: These trousers feature a formal aesthetic that pairs best with structured fabrics like silk, satin, or lightweight wool crepes.
