Striped Wide Leg Pants

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure on bare skin or over lightweight underwear. Record measurements in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

• Waist: Measure around your natural waist where the waistband will sit. If measuring a flat garment, measure straight across the waistband and double the number.
• Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. For a flat garment, measure across the widest point and double it.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom hem along the inside leg. For an existing pair, measure from crotch to hem while the pants are laid flat.
• Front rise / Back rise: Front rise is measured from the crotch seam to the top of the front waistband; back rise from the crotch to the top of the back waistband. These tell you where the pants will sit on your torso.
• Thigh: Measure across the thigh about 2.5 cm (1 in) below the crotch seam and double the number for circumference.
• Hem opening: Measure across the hem and double to get the circumference — a wider hem gives the characteristic wide-leg look.
• Full length: Measure from the top of the waistband to the hem on the outside leg for overall length.

Fit tip: Wide-leg pants are cut with extra room through the leg. If you are between sizes, prioritize the waist measurement for fit—alter the length if needed.

Materials

Exact composition varies by style—always check the product label for the definitive fiber content. Common fabrications for striped wide-leg pants and what to expect:

• 100% Cotton: Breathable and slightly structured; softens with wear. May shrink slightly—wash in cold water.
• Linen or Linen Blends: Very breathable with natural texture; tends to wrinkle (steam or press for a crisp look).
• Viscose/Rayon: Drapes beautifully for fluid movement and a soft hand; gentle washing recommended to maintain shape.
• Polyester / Synthetic Blends: Durable, colorfast and low-wrinkle—often blended to improve drape and reduce creasing.
• Elastane / Spandex (small %): Adds stretch and recovery for comfort and ease of movement (usually 1–5%).

Tip: A common, comfortable combo for wide-leg styles is a drapey viscose or linen blend with a small percentage of elastane for movement and recovery.

Model information

For fit reference: the model shown is 178 cm / 5'10" and is wearing a size S (approx. US 4). Approximate model measurements: bust 82 cm / 32", waist 61 cm / 24", hips 90 cm / 35.5". On her, the pants sit at the natural waist and fall to the ankle to show the full wide-leg silhouette.

How to use this: If you are taller, expect the hem to fall lower; if shorter, it will hit higher. If your waist and hips measurements fall into different sizes, choose the size that fits your waist and consider tailoring the hip/hem if you want a perfect fit.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash: Follow the garment label. Generally: cold water, gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn inside out to protect the stripe print/finish.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach unless the label explicitly allows it.
• Dry: Reshape while damp and hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid high-heat tumble drying unless permitted by the care label.
• Iron / Steam: Steam to relax wrinkles or iron inside out at the temperature appropriate for the fabric (low for synthetics, medium/high for cotton/linen). Use a pressing cloth on delicate finishes.
• Spot care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover suitable for the fiber type. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Hang by the waistband or fold neatly. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Professional care: For delicate blends or if in doubt, dry cleaning preserves shape and finish.

Style tips

• Casual: Tuck a relaxed tee into the waistband, add white sneakers or flat sandals for an easy everyday look.
• Office: Balance the wide silhouette with a fitted blouse or a tailored blazer. Pointed-toe loafers or low block heels maintain a polished profile.
• Evening: Pair with a slim camisole or bodysuit and heeled sandals. Add a statement belt to accentuate the waist.
• Proportion play: Because the legs are full, keep tops more fitted or cropped to define your silhouette, or deliberately choose an oversized top for a relaxed, fashion-forward look.
• Shoes: Ankle-skimming wide legs work well with heels to elongate the leg; flats or platform sandals give a chic, casual vibe.
• Layering: Longline coats or trench coats complement the flow; for a shorter jacket, try a cropped blazer to keep the waist visible.
