Zenana Washed Linen Elastic Band Waist Cargo Pants | ASH BLACK / S 100100783201642

How to measure

Determine fit by measuring either your body or a similar garment laid flat. Use a soft tape measure, stand relaxed, and measure over underwear or lightweight clothing.

• Waist (body): Measure around the natural waistline (where you normally wear pants). Tape should be snug but not tight.
• Waist (garment flat): Lay the pants flat, smooth but don’t stretch the elastic. Measure straight across the top of the waistband and multiply by 2 to get the waist circumference.
• Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/buttocks. For garment: measure straight across the widest part and multiply by 2.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg hem.
• Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up the front to the top of the waistband.
• Thigh: Measure 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across the thigh and multiply by 2.
• Leg opening (hem): Measure straight across the hem and multiply by 2.
• Full length / Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband to the hem at the outside leg.

Tips: measure twice for accuracy, compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow 1–3" (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease for comfortable linen pants depending on the desired fit. If between sizes, consider how you like your pants to fit (snug vs. relaxed) and remember the elastic waistband gives extra give.

Materials

These are described as washed linen pants. “Washed linen” generally means the fabric has been pre-softened for a relaxed hand and reduced shrinkage. Typical components and trim you can expect on this style:

• Main fabric: Washed linen or a linen blend (linen gives breathability, texture and strength; blends may add rayon, cotton or viscose for enhanced drape).
• Waistband: Elastic inside the band (often with a small percentage of spandex/elastic fiber for stretch) for comfort and recovery.
• Pockets/lining: Pocket bags are commonly cotton or a cotton/polyester blend for durability.
• Hardware: Buttons, snaps or toggles—may be metal or plastic—used on cargo pockets or closures.

Properties: linen is breathable, cool to the touch, softens over time and naturally wrinkles (part of the casual linen look). Washed linen reduces initial stiffness and shrinkage but always follow care instructions to preserve the fabric and trim.

Note: Exact fiber percentages and trim materials vary by batch and SKU. Refer to the garment tag or the product specification on the product page for the definitive fabric breakdown.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use mild detergent. Turn pants inside out and fasten any buttons/snaps.
• Separate: Wash with like colors to avoid dye transfer.
• Do not bleach: Avoid chlorine bleach and harsh stain removers that can weaken fibers or alter color.
• Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on low. Remove promptly from dryer while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles and prevent over-drying which can make linen stiff and stress the elastic.
• Ironing/Steaming: Iron on medium while slightly damp or use a steamer to smooth wrinkles. Iron inside-out if you want to protect surface texture.
• Elastic care: Avoid high heat in dryers to prolong the life of the elastic waistband.
• Stain treatment: Gently blot (do not rub) fresh stains and spot-clean with a mild detergent. Test any stain remover on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Fold or hang in a cool, dry place. If hanging by waistband, avoid overstretching; folding may preserve shape for long-term storage.

For delicate trims or if the care label recommends it, professional dry cleaning is an option.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Tuck in a soft cotton tee or tank, add woven sandals or white sneakers, and keep jewelry minimal for an easy everyday look.
• Beach or resort: Pair with a linen or gauze shirt left open over a swimsuit, slide sandals and a straw hat for breezy summer vibes.
• Smart-casual: Dress up with a lightweight blouse or fitted knit top, a slim belt (if there are belt loops), and loafers or low block heels.
• Cargo styling: Embrace the utilitarian feel—balance the volume with a more fitted top or half-tuck. Rolling or cuffing the hems gives a cropped, modern silhouette.
• Layering: Add a soft blazer or an oversized denim jacket for cooler evenings; choose neutrals or muted earth tones to complement linen’s natural texture.
• Accessories: Textured belts, natural-fiber bags (straw, canvas), and layered delicate necklaces complete the look without overpowering linen’s relaxed aesthetic.
