Zenana Linen Drawstring Pants — Fit, Fabric & Care

How to measure

Measure your body (to choose the right size)

Use a soft measuring tape and stand relaxed. Take measurements over light, fitted clothing or underwear.

1. Waist: Measure where you normally wear your pants (natural waist or slightly lower for low-rise). Keep the tape snug but not tight.
2. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with the tape parallel to the floor.
3. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the point you want the hem to fall (ankle, cropped, full length).
4. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh.
5. Rise (optional): Measure from the top of the front waistband down to the crotch seam to check where the waist will sit.

Measure the garment (flat-lay — to verify actual product dimensions)

Lay the pants flat on a smooth surface, align seams and smooth wrinkles before measuring. For each horizontal measurement, measure across the garment and multiply by 2 to get the full circumference.

1. Waist (unstretched): Measure straight across the waistband without stretching; multiply by 2.
2. Waist (stretched): Gently stretch the elastic/drawstring waistband to its typical worn width and measure across; multiply by 2 (useful for elastic-waist styles).
3. Hips: Measure across the fullest part of the seat (about 6–8 cm/2–3 in below the crotch seam) and multiply by 2.
4. Front rise: Measure from the top of the front waistband down to the crotch seam.
5. Back rise: Measure from top of the back waistband down to the crotch seam.
6. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
7. Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband at the side to the hem.
8. Thigh: Measure across the leg 1"–2" (2.5–5 cm) below the crotch seam and multiply by 2.
9. Leg opening (hem): Measure the width of the hem across and multiply by 2.

Quick conversions & tips: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and the size chart. Linen has minimal natural stretch — if you’re between sizes, consider sizing up for extra ease.

Materials & fabric

Zenana Linen Drawstring Pants are crafted from linen or a linen-blend fabric. Linen (from flax) is prized for its breathability, natural texture and cool hand, making it ideal for warm-weather wear. Many similar styles use a linen-rayon or linen-viscose blend to add softness and drape, or a small percentage of spandex for stretch — always check the product tag for exact composition.

• Key qualities: breathable, moisture-wicking, strong natural fiber, crisp texture that softens with wear.
• Common blends: linen + rayon/viscose (softer drape), linen + polyester (more wrinkle resistance), linen + spandex (added stretch).
• Natural behavior: linen may wrinkle and can shrink if washed in hot water or high heat dryers; it generally becomes softer after repeated washing.

Model & fit

Reference model details (for imagery and fit guidance):

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small
• Fit summary: relaxed through hip and thigh, elastic drawstring waistband for adjustability, mid-rise and ankle-length depending on height.

Fit notes: These pants are designed for a relaxed, comfortable silhouette. Because linen has limited stretch, choose a larger size for a roomier fit or if you’ll layer underneath.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and wash with like colors.
• Turn pants inside out and tie the drawstring or place the pants in a mesh laundry bag to protect the ties.
• Avoid bleach and strong optical brighteners. Use fabric softener sparingly — it can reduce linen’s natural texture over time.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry to minimize shrinkage and preserve shape. If you use a dryer, tumble on low and remove promptly.
• Iron or steam while slightly damp on a medium–hot setting to smooth wrinkles. Iron inside out for darker colors.
• For best long-term shape and color, consider professional dry cleaning for structured or delicate linen pieces.
• Spot treat stains quickly: blot (don’t rub), pre-treat oil stains with a small amount of mild dish soap, test treatments on an inconspicuous area first.
• Store folded or hung on a wide hanger away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.

Pro tip: Linen softens and gains a nicer drape with each gentle wash. Use dryer balls briefly in a low-heat tumble to help break in fibers faster while monitoring for shrinkage.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: Pair with a tucked white tee or tank and flat sandals or white sneakers for an easy, put-together look.
• Office smart-casual: Tuck in a lightweight blouse, add a slim leather belt and loafers or mules; layer a fitted blazer for structure.
• Resort & travel: Wear with a linen or cotton cami, straw hat and espadrilles for breathable, comfortable travel outfits.
• Evening out: Swap flats for strappy heels, add a silk cami and statement earrings to elevate the look.
• Layering & shape: Add an oversized cardigan or denim jacket; roll the cuff for a cropped, ankle-skimming style.
• Color pairings: Neutrals and earth tones complement linen beautifully — try cream, sand, olive, rust or navy for a cohesive palette.
• Alterations: If you prefer a specific length, hemming is a simple alteration — cuffing works too for a relaxed, casual finish.
