Mittoshop Pleated Wide Leg Pants — Measurements, Materials, Model & Care

How to measure

Use a flexible tape measure. Take measurements while wearing lightweight underwear and stand relaxed. Take each measurement twice for accuracy.

Measure your body (to choose the right size)

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist). Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks (usually 20–25 cm / 8–10 in below the natural waist).
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down to where you want the hem to end (stand barefoot for accuracy).
• Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh (about 2.5–5 cm / 1–2 in below the crotch).
• Rise (front): Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband at the front.
• Rise (back): Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband at the back (useful for fit over hips).

Measure the garment (laid flat — to compare with size chart)

Lay the pants on a flat surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.

• Waist (flat): Measure across the waistband from left to right and double the number. (If the waistband is elastic, measure relaxed and stretched separately.)
• Hips (flat): Measure across the widest point of the hips and double it.
• Front rise / Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband (front and back separately).
• Inseam: Measure the inner seam from crotch to hem.
• Thigh (flat): Measure across the leg 1" (2–3 cm) below the crotch seam and double it.
• Hem width: Measure the bottom edge across and double it for the full hem circumference.
• Tip: Compare your body measurements to the garment flat measurements. Allow for the intended ease — wide-leg styles typically have extra room through the thigh and hem.

Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm. To convert inches to cm multiply by 2.54; to convert cm to inches divide by 2.54.

Materials

Always check the product label for the exact composition. Pleated wide-leg pants are most commonly made from the following fabrics — each affects drape, care and how well pleats hold:

• Polyester: Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant and excellent at holding permanent pleats. Easy-care; ideal for machine washing on gentle cycles.
• Viscose / Rayon: Soft and fluid with a nice drape. Breathable but more delicate — may need hand washing or dry cleaning and careful reshaping of pleats.
• Silk / Satin blends: Dressier sheen and fluid movement. Often requires dry clean or very gentle hand wash.
• Crepe: Matte finish with good drape; can be synthetic or natural blends and generally holds pleats well when treated correctly.
• Cotton / Linen: Natural and breathable; tends to crease more and pleats may relax — regular pressing or steaming is needed to keep crisp lines.
• Elastane / Spandex (small %): Adds stretch for comfort and recovery; usually appears in blends (e.g., polyester + elastane).
• Lining: Many pleated pants are partially or fully lined (common linings: polyester, acetate). Lining affects comfort and opacity.

If the product page or garment label lists a composition (for example “100% polyester” or “polyester 95% / elastane 5%”), follow the fabric-specific care advice on the label.

About the model

Product pages often list model details so you can judge fit. Typical model information to look for:

• Height (e.g., 175 cm / 5'9")
• Model measurements (bust / waist / hips)
• Wearing size (the size the model is wearing in the photos)

How to use it: if the model’s measurements and wearing size are shown, compare your body measurements to those so you can estimate whether you should size up or down. For a wide-leg style, pay special attention to waist and rise to ensure the pants sit comfortably where you expect.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label first. Below are general best practices to preserve pleats, shape and fabric:

• Washing: For synthetic pleated fabrics (polyester/crepe) use cold water on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn pants inside out and close zippers/buttons. Use a mild detergent.
• Hand wash option: Use cool water, gently agitate, rinse thoroughly. Do not wring; press water out gently.
• Drying: Hang to dry on a skirt/pant hanger by the waistband or lay flat to retain pleat shape. Avoid tumble drying — heat can relax pleats or damage fibers.
• Ironing & steaming: Use a steamer to reshape pleats by steaming along each pleat line and smoothing with your hand. If ironing, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth and press gently — do not drag the iron across pleats. For stubborn pleats, press with a cloth and small, controlled presses.
• Stain removal: Treat stains promptly. Test any stain remover on a hidden area first. Avoid chlorine bleach.
• Storage: Hang pants by the waistband or use clip hangers at the hem and waistband to avoid creasing. For long-term storage, fold along pleats or store flat; avoid crushing under heavy items.
• Professional care: For delicate fibers (silk, viscose) or structured pleats, consider professional dry cleaning — especially if the label recommends it.
• Quick pleat refresh: Hang the pants in a steamy bathroom, then smooth pleats by hand or use a hand steamer to reinstate shape.

Style Tips

• Balance proportions: Wide-leg pants pair best with a more fitted or cropped top to define the waist. Tuck-in tees and blouses look especially polished.
• High-waist advantage: If the pants are high-waisted, emphasize the waist with a belt or a tucked top for a flattering silhouette.
• Footwear: Heels and wedges elongate the leg and suit dressier looks. Sneakers or flat sandals give a relaxed, contemporary vibe. Choose ankle boots for cooler months; ensure the hem length works with your chosen shoe.
• Office styling: Tuck in a slim blouse and add a structured blazer — keep proportions clean to avoid bulk at the hips.
• Casual styling: Try a fitted tee or a cropped sweater and white sneakers for an effortless daytime outfit.
• Evening styling: Pair with a silky cami, statement jewelry and heels for a refined night-out look.
• Layering: Long coats and trench coats work well over wide legs; for shorter torsos choose cropped jackets to preserve waist definition.
• Color & prints: Solid neutrals create a long line; bold colors or vertical pinstripes enhance the elongating effect of wide legs.
• Tailoring: If the inseam is too long, have the hem professionally adjusted — keep the original style of the hem for the best drape.
• For petites: Opt for a higher waist and cropped length or wear with heels to prevent the pants from overwhelming your frame.
