Mittoshop Deep Pleated High Waisted Wide Leg Pants | Black / S 100100635201058

How to measure — quick guide

For accurate sizing when shopping online, measure the garment laid flat (preferred) or measure a pair you already own that fits the way you want these pants to fit.

• Waist (high-waist): Lay the pants flat, fasten zipper/button. Measure straight across the top of the waistband from edge to edge. Multiply that number by 2 for the waist circumference.
• Hip: Measure across the widest part of the pant (usually 6–8 cm / 2–3 in below the crotch seam) from edge to edge; multiply by 2 for the full hip circumference.
• Front rise: Measure from the top center of the front waistband down to the crotch seam.
• Back rise: Measure from the top center of the back waistband down to the crotch seam.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inner leg to the bottom of the hem.
• Outseam / Total length: Measure from the top of the waistband (side) straight down to the hem.
• Thigh: Measure across the pant 5 cm (about 2 in) below the crotch seam, edge to edge; multiply by 2.
• Hem opening: Measure straight across the bottom hem.
• Pleat note: For pleated styles, measure both with pleats flattened (gives the base flat measurement) and with pleats allowed to sit naturally (shows maximum fullness).

Tip: Most online listings show measurements in cm and inches; to convert: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Add 1–3 cm tolerance for ease and manufacturing variance.

Materials (what to expect)

Exact fiber content varies by batch—always confirm the composition on the product page or care label. Common materials for deep-pleated, high-waisted wide-leg pants:

• 100% Polyester: Excellent for holding permanent pleats, lightweight drape, low wrinkle. Machine washable (cold/gentle) but best hung to dry to preserve pleats.
• Polyester blends (polyester + viscose/rayon): Softer hand and nicer drape; may need gentler care to maintain pleats.
• Polyester + Elastane (e.g., 95/5): Adds stretch for comfort and movement while keeping shape.
• Viscose/Modal or natural fibers (linen/cotton): Softer, breathable, but pleats may relax faster and require steaming or dry cleaning to reset.
• Lining: Some styles include a polyester lining for opacity and comfort—check the product details.

Features to look for on the product page: composition, lining, stretch, and recommended care instructions.

Model information (reference)

Photos typically include a model reference so you can judge fit. Example of a common product-photo note:

• Model height: ~175–178 cm (≈5'9"–5'10")
• Wearing size: S (or size shown on page)
• Use the model’s height and the product measurements to estimate length and overall fit.

Fit tip: These are high-waisted, wide-leg trousers. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette at the hip/leg, consider sizing down; if you want a very relaxed/wide fit, size up. Always compare garment measurements to a similar pair you already own.

Care Guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Wash: Follow the label. If machine-washable, use cold water on a gentle cycle. Fasten zippers/buttons, turn garment inside out, and use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
• Hand-wash option: For delicate blends or to protect pleats, hand-wash gently in cold water with mild detergent.
• Dry: Do not tumble-dry if you want to preserve pleats—hang to dry by the waistband or lay flat to dry. If using a dryer, low heat and remove while slightly damp, then reshape immediately.
• Steam/Iron: Steam is best for pleats—hold a steamer over the pleat lines and let them cool to set. If ironing, use a low heat setting and always protect the fabric with a pressing cloth; iron on the reverse side and avoid flattening pleats unnecessarily.
• Dry clean: Recommended if the label states “Dry Clean Only” or for delicate fibers where you want to preserve crisp pleats and finish.
• Storage: Hang on a pants hanger or a clip hanger at the waistband; avoid crushing pleats. Use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage.
• Spot care & stains: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Extra tip: Between washes, refresh with steam rather than repeated washing—this preserves color, fibers and pleat structure.

Style Tips

• Balance the silhouette: Pair the wide-leg volume with a fitted or tailored top—tucked blouses, slim knits, or a cropped jacket work beautifully.
• Emphasize the waist: Tuck in your top or add a belt to highlight the high waist and create a flattering hourglass proportion.
• Shoes: Heels or wedges elongate the leg and suit dressier looks; clean white sneakers or loafers create a chic casual outfit. Ankle boots work if the hem clearance allows.
• Layering: Long coats or structured blazers create an elegant, elongating line; cropped jackets emphasize the waist.
• Color & prints: For a refined look keep tones monochrome or neutral; pair bold colors with simple tops. Pleats add texture—pair with smooth fabrics for contrast.
• Occasions: These pants are versatile—work-ready with a blouse and blazer, weekend-ready with sneakers and a tee, and evening-ready with a silk camisole and heels.
• Alterations: If length is long, get a professional hem so the wide leg falls cleanly; small waist adjustments are easy and preserve the look.
