FAQs
Are these trousers machine washable?
Yes, they are generally machine washable. Please check the garment label for specific temperature instructions to ensure the fabric stays durable.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers are designed for a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more structured look, you may want to double-check the measurement guide, but typically the drawstring allows for a flexible fit within your standard size.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
Yes, the side pockets are designed to be functional and deep enough to securely hold most standard-sized smartphones.
Can I iron these trousers?
You can use a low-heat setting on your iron. Always check the care tag and consider using a pressing cloth to protect the polyester fabric.
What kind of shoes match this style?
These trousers pair well with casual footwear like white sneakers, chunky loafers, or platform boots.
Do these trousers shrink after washing?
Polyester is generally resistant to shrinking; however, it is best to avoid high heat during drying to maintain the intended fit.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring cord slipping inside the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the cord back through the exit hole or tie a small knot at the end of the cord to prevent it from pulling through.
Static buildup on the fabric
Lightly mist with an anti-static spray or use a small amount of fabric softener during the rinse cycle of your next wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories trousers stay in prime condition, always refer to the internal care label. Due to the polyester material, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers and alter the shape of the elasticated waistband. For styling, these trousers pair best with chunky sneakers, platform sandals, or slim-fitting boots. They are designed as a standard relaxed fit; if you prefer a less voluminous look, consider your usual size as they are cut intentionally generous.
