Aemi + Co High Waist Wide Leg Pants with Side Pockets | Charcoal / S 100100245121104

How to measure — get the perfect fit

Use a soft measuring tape and a flat surface. Fasten the pants and smooth out any wrinkles before measuring. Measure each item laid flat and record the flat measurement; where indicated double the flat measurement to get the full circumference.

1. Waist (flat) — Measure straight across the top of the waistband from edge to edge. Double this number for the full waist circumference.
2. Hips — Measure across the fullest part of the seat (usually 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waistband). Double the flat measurement for circumference.
3. Front rise — Measure from the top of the waistband at the front down to the crotch seam.
4. Back rise — Measure from the top of the waistband at the back down to the crotch seam.
5. Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
6. Outseam (total length) — Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside seam to the hem.
7. Thigh — Measure straight across the leg 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam; double for circumference.
8. Hem / Leg opening — Measure straight across the bottom of the leg and double to get the full leg opening circumference.

Tip: If you are comparing to a pair you already own, measure that pair laid flat and compare each measurement to the product’s garment measurements. For wide-leg styles allow extra hip and thigh ease if you prefer more volume.

Material & fabric information

Exact composition can vary by color and season — always check the product page or garment care label for the precise fabric breakdown. Below are common fabric types used for high-waist wide-leg pants and what to expect from each.

• 100% Cotton — breathable, structured, may soften with wear; can shrink slightly if washed hot. Best washed cold and reshaped while damp.
• Cotton / Linen blends — cool and textured with good drape; tends to wrinkle more but is breathable for warm weather.
• Viscose / Rayon — very soft with fluid drape; can be delicate when wet — gentle wash recommended.
• Tencel / Lyocell — smooth, breathable, lovely drape and lower-wrinkle tendency; typically machine-washable on a gentle cycle.
• Polyester / Blends (with Elastane) — durable, wrinkle-resistant, holds color well; elastane adds stretch and recovery.
• Lining & pocket bags — often polyester or cotton poplin; pocket bags are lightweight to reduce bulk in side pockets.

How to confirm: Look for a "Composition" or "Fabric" section on the product page or check the sewn-in care tag for exact percentages (e.g., 68% Tencel / 28% Polyester / 4% Elastane).

Model & fit (reference)

For imagery reference, product pages commonly show the model's height and the size worn. Example reference many brands use:

• Model height: ~5'9" (175 cm)
• Model is wearing: Size S (example)
• Model measurements (example): Bust 33" / Waist 24" / Hips 35"

Fit notes: These pants are high-waisted with a wide leg — the waist sits at or just above the natural waist. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette through the hips/thighs, consider sizing down; if you want more relaxed volume, choose your usual size or size up. Always reference the product’s size chart and garment measurements when available.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow the garment care label when available. The sections below give fabric-specific recommendations plus general tips to keep your pants looking their best.

General care

• Fasten zips and buttons and turn pants inside out before washing to reduce abrasion and color fading.
• Use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle in cold water when machine washing.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents; skip fabric softener for fabrics that lose shape.
• Air-dry by hanging or laying flat to preserve shape and avoid excessive heat from tumble drying. If you must tumble dry, use low heat and remove promptly.
• Steam or low-heat iron inside out to remove wrinkles. Use a pressing cloth for delicate fibers.
• Spot-treat stains promptly. Blot liquids, then treat with a gentle stain remover according to fabric type.
• Empty pockets before washing and avoid overfilling pockets in daily wear to prevent sagging.

Fabric-specific notes

• Viscose/Rayon: Hand wash or gentle cycle; avoid heavy spinning and hang to dry to prevent distortion.
• Linen: Wash cold or hand wash; expect natural wrinkling — press or steam when needed.
• Tencel/Lyocell: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle; reshape while damp and hang to dry.
• Polyester blends: Machine wash cold; tumble dry low is usually safe, but air drying extends garment life.
• Wool or special trims: Often require dry cleaning — follow garment label.

Style tips — how to wear your high-waist wide leg pants

Wide-leg pants are versatile: balance volume, define the waist, and choose footwear that complements the length.

• Casual everyday: Tuck a fitted tee or lightweight sweater into the waistband, add white sneakers or flat sandals.
• Office-ready: Tuck in a crisp shirt or slim-fit blouse and add a tailored blazer. Pointed-toe flats or low heels elongate the leg.
• Evening / elevated: Pair with a silky cami, blouson top or cropped structured jacket and strappy heels or mules.
• Layering: Longline coats keep the silhouette sleek; cropped jackets emphasize the high waist and maintain proportion.
• Accessories: Add a belt to accentuate the waist. Choose streamlined bags to contrast the wide leg.
• Shoes to try: Platform sneakers, ankle boots, loafers, block heels, or slides depending on desired look and pant length.
• Proportions: Because of the wider leg, pair with fitted or cropped tops to avoid looking top-heavy. If you prefer a relaxed look, choose a slightly oversized top but tuck or knot it at the waist.
• Tailoring: If the length is too long, have the hem professionally altered — wide legs take well to adjustments without losing the intended shape.
