How to measure — Side Slit High Waist Pants

To choose the best size, measure either your body where the pants will sit or measure a similar pair of pants laid flat. Use a soft tape measure, stand straight and relaxed, and measure in centimetres (cm) or inches (in). When measuring a garment laid flat, always double the flat measurement to get the full circumference.

1. High waist position — For high-waisted styles, identify where the waistband will sit on your torso (typically above the natural waist / around the narrowest part or slightly higher). This point determines your waist measurement for this style.
2. Waist (body) — Measure around the body where the waistband will sit. Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight.
3. Hips (body) — Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. Keep feet together and tape level all the way round.
4. Inseam (body) — Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the point you want the hem to hit (ankle, above ankle, floor, etc.).
5. Outseam / Total length (garment) — Lay the pants flat and measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the side seam.
6. Front rise / Back rise (garment) — Front rise: from the crotch seam straight up to the top of the front waistband. Back rise: from the crotch seam to top of the back waistband. These tell you how high the pants will sit and how they shape through the seat.
7. Thigh — Measure around the fullest part of the thigh (body) or measure the pant flat 2–3 cm below the crotch seam and double that width for the circumference (garment).
8. Hem width — Measure the bottom opening laid flat (seam to seam) and double it for the leg opening circumference.
9. Side slit length (garment) — Measure along the side seam from the bottom hem up to the top of the slit to know how much ankle/leg will show when worn.

Quick tips: measure wearing thin underwear, have someone help for accuracy, and compare your measurements to the product’s size chart or a similar garment you already own.

Materials

Check the product detail panel or the garment care label for the exact composition. Common materials for high-waist, side-slit pants and how they behave:

• Stretch cotton twill (e.g., ~97% cotton, 3% elastane) — breathable, soft, holds structure with comfortable stretch. Easy to wear daily and machine-washable on a gentle cycle.
• Viscose / rayon blends (e.g., viscose + polyester ± elastane) — drapey and fluid with a soft hand; great for a dressier, flowing silhouette. Usually recommended for gentle washing or hand wash; can wrinkle more easily.
• Polyester crepe or suiting blends — wrinkle-resistant, more structured, holds tailoring and the slit detail crisply; often machine washable on gentle or dry-clean only depending on finish.
• Linen or linen blends — very breathable and textured; ideal for warm weather but prone to natural creasing. Best treated gently and often line-dried.
• Stretch ponte / technical knits — smooth, recovery-based fabrics that hold shape and are comfortable for close fits; generally machine washable but check label for temperature limits.

If the garment has a lining, trims or metal hardware (zippers, hooks), follow the care guidance for the most delicate component.

Model & fit information

Typical product listings note the model’s height and the size they wear so you can judge fit. Example template often used:

• Model height: 177 cm (5'10")
• Model is wearing size: Small (S / EU 36 / US 4)
• Fit notes: High-rise waist, sits above the natural waist; hip/seat follows a tailored-to-slim line depending on fabric stretch. Side slit adds movement and shows a bit of ankle.

Fit guidance: if the fabric contains stretch, choose your usual size for a fitted look or one size up for a relaxed feel. For non-stretch woven fabrics, choose based on hip measurement to ensure comfort through the seat and thigh.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label first. Below are general best practices for longevity:

• Pre-wash & preparation: Close zippers and fasten hooks; turn pants inside out to protect the face of the fabric and any trims; use a laundry bag for delicate or slit details.
• Washing: Machine wash cold or at 30°C on a gentle cycle for most blends. Hand wash delicate viscose or linen blends. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry to preserve shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying—if tumble drying is allowed, use a low-temperature, short cycle. Remove promptly to reduce wrinkles.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam to remove wrinkles where possible. Iron inside out on a low-to-medium setting; avoid high heat on elastane-containing fabrics. Use a press cloth for delicate fibres.
• Dry cleaning: For structured suiting blends or tailored finishes, dry cleaning may be recommended—follow the label.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped hanger or fold neatly. Avoid overcrowding so the slit and waistband keep their shape. For delicate finishes, consider padded hangers.
• Quick fixes: Spot-clean stains immediately, use a fabric shaver for pills, and have minor tailoring adjustments done professionally to extend wearable life.

Style tips

This silhouette is versatile — the high waist flatters the waistline and the side slit adds motion and a subtle reveal of footwear. Mix and match by occasion:

• Daytime casual: Tuck a relaxed tee or lightweight knit into the waistband and pair with white sneakers or low loafers. Add a cropped denim jacket for an effortless look.
• Office smart: Tuck in a fitted blouse or a fine-gauge knit and add a tailored blazer. Pointed flats or low block heels keep the outfit polished while maintaining comfort.
• Evening out: Pair with a silk camisole or a bodysuit, statement earrings, and strappy heels — the side slit highlights shoes and leg line for a dressier finish.
• Shoes & proportions: For ankle-baring slits, low-cut shoes and sandals lengthen the leg; for a longer-leg effect choose heels or heeled boots. If the pants are wide-legged, balance with a fitted or cropped top.
• Belts & layering: A slim belt emphasizes the high waist; long coats or duster cardigans create elegant layering without hiding the slit detail when left open.

Experiment with textures and contrasts — structured suiting tops with flowing pants, or soft knits with crisp accessories — to make the style your own.
