FAQs

Are these trousers true to size?

Yes, they are designed to fit standard UK sizing. The high-rise waist is intended to provide a defined fit at the hip.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No. Tumble drying will likely damage the silk fabric and compromise the structural lining of the trousers.

What kind of shoes work best with these?

The wide-leg cut looks best with elevated footwear like kitten heels, block-heel mules, or pointed-toe pumps to maintain the elongating effect.

Is the fabric heavy?

The silk is chosen for its elegant, flowing drape rather than weight, but the full lining adds a substantial feel that keeps the silhouette clean.

Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?

The pockets are designed to be discreet and functional, but they are best suited for smaller items to maintain the smooth lines of the trousers.

Troubleshooting

Minor wrinkling after sitting

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently release wrinkles without applying direct heat to the silk.

Difficulty keeping the pleats crisp

Ensure the trousers are hung properly when not in use; avoid folding them, as this can flatten the architectural pleat detailing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and elongating high-rise fit
  • High-quality silk construction for a premium feel
  • Architectural pleat detailing adds visual interest
  • Versatile design suitable for both business and evening wear
  • Fully lined for comfort and an improved silhouette

Cons

  • Silk material requires delicate handling
  • Limited stretch compared to synthetic alternatives
  • Requires professional cleaning or careful hand washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Given the delicate nature of the silk material, it is highly recommended to follow the garment's internal care label closely. Generally, these trousers should be dry cleaned or hand-washed in cool water with a gentle silk-safe detergent to avoid damaging the fibers. Avoid wringing the fabric; instead, lay it flat on a clean towel to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Store the trousers on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the waistband and the drape of the legs. Due to the high-rise, tailored fit, ensure you select your standard UK size 16 for the most accurate drape and hip alignment.
