High Waist Wide Leg Pants | Black / S 100100377941034

How to measure — get the right fit

Tools: a flexible tape measure, a mirror and a notepad. Measure over light clothing or underwear, stand straight with feet together, and keep the tape snug but not tight. Record measurements in both cm and inches if possible.

1. Waist: Measure around your natural waist (where your body bends side to side). For high-waist trousers, measure where you want the waistband to sit.
2. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat (usually ~20 cm / 8 in below the waist). Keep feet together.
3. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg where you want the hem to fall. For best accuracy, measure a pair of trousers you already own that fit well.
4. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband—this tells you how high the pants will sit.
5. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh (about 2–3 cm / 1 in below the crotch).
6. Leg opening / hem: Measure the hem flat across the pant leg and double it to get the circumference. Wide-leg styles have a generous hem for drape and movement.

Tip: compare these body measurements to the product's garment measurements (waist, hip, inseam). If you prefer a relaxed silhouette, allow 2–4 cm (¾–1½ in) extra at the hips. 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials & what to expect

High-waist wide leg pants are produced in a variety of fabrications. Below are common materials and their typical characteristics so you know what to expect when choosing a pair:

• Cotton / Cotton twill (often with a small % elastane): Breathable, structured and comfortable. Slight stretch if elastane is present. Easy care—cold wash recommended; avoid high heat to reduce shrinkage.
• Linen or linen blends: Very breathable and cool; natural texture and prone to creasing (part of the aesthetic). Best cared for by gentle wash and air drying.
• Viscose / Rayon blends: Fluid drape that flatters wide-leg silhouettes; can be delicate—follow label (often gentle wash or dry clean).
• Polyester / Tencel blends: Smooth drape, durable and lower-maintenance with good wrinkle resistance. Machine wash on gentle cycle is usually fine.
• Denim (stretch denim): Heavier, structured look with some recovery if elastane is included. Turn inside out and wash cold to preserve color.

Always refer to the exact fabric composition listed on the product page and the garment care label for the most accurate care and performance expectations. Look for organic or recycled fibers if sustainability is a priority.

Model information

Example fit details to help you gauge sizing:

• Model height: 178 cm (5'10")
• Model measurements: Bust 86 cm / 34", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35"
• Wearing size: Small (S) — roughly US 4 / UK 8 / EU 36
• Pant details: High-rise sits at the natural waist; wide leg begins at the hip for a relaxed, flowing silhouette. Sample inseam on the model is approx. 81 cm (32").

If you are between sizes, choose a smaller size for a more fitted waist or a larger size for extra room in the hips and thighs. Hemming the inseam is an easy alteration to match your preferred shoe height.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow the garment label first. Use these general tips to prolong the life and appearance of your wide leg pants:

• Wash less frequently—spot-clean stains and air garments between wears when possible.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn pants inside out to protect outer surfaces and color.
• Use a mild detergent, avoid bleach and wash with similar colors.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry. If using a dryer, choose low heat and remove promptly to reduce creasing and shrinkage.
• Iron or steam on the appropriate setting for the fabric. Use a pressing cloth for delicate blends. For linen, iron while slightly damp.
• Store on a wide hanger to preserve shape, or fold neatly for heavier fabrics. Avoid overcrowding to prevent unwanted creases.
• For delicate fabrics or when the care label advises, use professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

High waist wide leg pants are versatile—here are styling ideas and proportion tips:

• Casual: Tuck in a fitted tee or wear a cropped sweater with sneakers for a relaxed, modern look.
• Work: Tuck in a blouse or layered lightweight knit and add a tailored blazer; finish with loafers or block heels for polished proportions.
• Evening: Pair with a sleek bodysuit, strappy heels and statement jewelry. A slim belt emphasizes the waist.
• Balance volume: Because the legs are wide, choose more fitted or structured tops to maintain a flattering silhouette. Cropped jackets and half-tucks work well.
• Shoes: Heels or platforms elongate the leg; flats and sneakers create an effortless daytime vibe; ankle boots can add edge when the hem slightly covers the shoe.
• Seasonal: Lightweight linen or viscose blends for summer; heavier cotton twill or wool blends for cooler months—layer with long coats or tailored jackets.
• Petite & tall tips: Petite frames may prefer a shorter inseam or heeled shoe to avoid overwhelming the height; tall frames can embrace longer inseams for drama.

Experiment with monochrome looks, belt accents and contrasting textures—high-waist wide-leg pants are a great foundation for both relaxed and refined outfits.
