Structured crepe fabric with a smooth, refined finish that holds its shape beautifully throughout ...Structured crepe fabric with a smooth, refined finish that holds its shape beautifully throughout wear. Generously cut wide leg silhouette that sweeps elegantly to the floor, creating a long, elongating line at approximately 109cm in length. Deep front pleats at the high waist add considered volume and movement, lending the trousers a distinctly tailored character. High-rise waistband offers a polished, defined finish that sits neatly at the natural waist. Loose fit through the leg ensures ease of movement without compromising on sophistication. These wide leg trousers are a true occasion-wear investment, designed for the woman who commands attention through considered dressing rather than effort. The structured crepe construction and deep pleating give them an architectural quality that makes them equally at home at a wedding, the races, or a formal evening event. Style them as seen here - paired with a sleek, fitted sleeveless top tucked in at the waist, pointed-toe heels, and a structured leather tote - for a look that is sharp, refined, and entirely assured. For a more formal occasion, consider a tailored blazer in a tonal or contrasting shade to complete the ensemble. 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. Dress up with statement jewellery and a sleek updo for a truly polished finish.
Designed for the modern woman seeking sophisticated occasion wear, these Karen Millen wide leg trousers offer a polished and elongating silhouette. Crafted from structured crepe fabric, they provide an architectural quality perfect for formal events. A potential consideration is the floor-grazing length, which may require hemming for petite frames.

FAQs
What material are these trousers made from?
The trousers are made from a structured crepe fabric, which is a polyester blend known for its smooth, refined finish and ability to hold shape.
Are these trousers suitable for everyday wear?
These trousers are designed primarily for occasion wear due to their sophisticated cut and fabric. While versatile for formal events, they are not typically considered everyday casual wear.
What type of shoes should I wear with these trousers?
Given the floor-grazing length, heels such as pointed-toe pumps, block heels, or stilettos are recommended to ensure the trousers drape correctly and create an elongated silhouette.
How should I clean these trousers?
Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the fabric's structure and finish. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Can I alter the length of the trousers?
Yes, the length can be altered by a professional tailor if needed, particularly for petite individuals. However, be mindful of the original design intention for a floor-grazing look.
What makes the silhouette 'wide leg'?
The wide leg silhouette means the trousers are cut generously from the hip or thigh down to the hem, creating a fluid, sweeping shape rather than a close fit.
How do the front pleats contribute to the design?
The deep front pleats at the high waist add volume and movement, enhancing the tailored character of the trousers and contributing to their architectural quality.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear too long
The trousers are designed with a floor-grazing length intended to be worn with heels. If they are too long even with your intended footwear, professional hemming may be required.
Fabric creasing significantly
While the structured crepe resists minor creasing, significant wrinkles can be addressed with a professional dry clean or by steaming on a low setting, ensuring the iron or steamer does not directly contact the fabric.
Pleats losing their sharpness
Maintain the sharpness of the pleats through professional dry cleaning. Avoid ironing directly on the pleats; steam carefully if necessary.
