Elastic Waist Pants with Pockets | Navy / S 100100447433686

How to measure

Clear measurements make ordering easier. Below are step-by-step instructions for measuring the garment and your body so you can choose the best size.

Measuring the garment (laid flat)

1. Lay the pants flat on a hard surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Waist (relaxed): Measure straight across the top of the waistband from left to right; double this number to get the full waist circumference. For elastic waists, also measure the fully stretched waistband and record both relaxed and stretched values.
3. Hips: Measure straight across the fullest part of the hips (about 20–25 cm / 8–10 in below the waistband) and double the number.
4. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the front waistband.
5. Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the back waistband.
6. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the bottom hem.
7. Outseam (total length): Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the outside leg.
8. Thigh: Measure across the leg about 2–3 cm (approx. 1 in) below the crotch seam and double the number for circumference.
9. Leg opening (hem): Measure across the hem and double for the hem circumference.
10. Pocket depth: Measure from the pocket opening to the bottom of the pocket bag to confirm phone/wallet fit.

Measuring your body (to choose the right size)

• Waist: Measure at your natural waist (narrowest point) or where you normally wear pants. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
• Inseam: Measure from the top of your inner thigh to where you want the pant to end (ankle, cropped, full length).
• Rise preference: Decide high/mid/low rise and compare to the garment’s front/back rise.
• Allowance (ease): For a fitted style allow 0–2 cm (0–¾ in) extra, for relaxed 4–8 cm (1½–3 in) or more. If the fabric contains elastane you can allow less ease.

Materials & construction

Elastic waist pants with pockets come in a range of fabrics. Common materials and what to expect from each:

• Cotton: Breathable, soft and comfortable. May shrink slightly; tends to be easy-care in blends.
• Polyester: Durable, wrinkle-resistant and quick-drying. Often blended to improve resilience and reduce creasing.
• Viscose / Rayon: Smooth, drapey and lightweight. Great for fluid silhouettes; handle gently to avoid shrinkage or pilling.
• Linen: Very breathable with a natural texture; ideal for warm weather but prone to wrinkling.
• Elastane / Spandex / Lycra: Added in small amounts (typically 1–5%) for stretch and recovery—keeps waist comfortable and improves movement.
• Blends: Common blends include cotton + elastane for comfort and polyester + viscose + elastane for drape and durability.

Construction details vary by style: pocket types (side seam, patch, zip), waistband (full elastic, elastic with drawcord, partial elastic), and lining may differ. Check the product label or product page for the exact fabric composition and construction details.

Model & fit information

Product images are shown on a model to illustrate fit. Example model details (for reference):

• Height: 175 cm / 5'9"
• Wearing size: S (example)
• Model measurements (example): Bust 81 cm / 32 in · Waist 61 cm / 24 in · Hips 89 cm / 35 in

Fit notes: These pants typically have an elasticated waistband for flexibility. Depending on the cut (relaxed, tapered, straight), you may want to size up for a looser look or stay with your usual size for a closer fit—especially if the fabric has stretch.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first.
• Machine wash cold or on a gentle 30°C cycle with similar colors; turn pants inside out to protect the fabric and pockets.
• Use a mild detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach on colored items (oxygen-based bleach is safer when needed).
• Avoid high heat: tumble dry on low if necessary, but line-dry in the shade when possible to protect elastic and preserve shape. For delicate knits, dry flat to prevent stretching.
• Iron inside out on low-to-medium heat; avoid direct high heat on elasticated areas. Use steam for stubborn creases if the fabric allows.
• Do not use fabric softener on performance fabrics (it can reduce moisture-wicking). Over-drying can weaken elastic fibers—remove promptly from dryer.
• Spot-treat stains promptly with a suitable cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Store folded for long-term storage; for lightweight styles, hanging by the waistband short-term is fine. Keep garments dry and out of direct sunlight.

Style tips

Flexible and easy to wear—try these outfit ideas:

• Casual: Tuck in a soft tee, add white sneakers and a crossbody bag. Roll the cuffs for a cropped vibe.
• Smart casual / Office: Tuck in a silk or cotton blouse, add a tailored blazer and loafers or low heels. Use a slim belt if there are belt loops.
• Travel: Pair with a breathable knit or tee, slip-on shoes and a light jacket. Use pockets for essentials to stay hands-free.
• Weekend: Match with a linen shirt or tank top, sandals and a casual tote for an easy warm-weather outfit.
• Night out: Combine with a fitted top, statement jewelry and heeled mules or ankle boots; add a cropped leather jacket for edge.
• Proportion tips: Balance wide or relaxed legs with a more fitted top; for tapered legs, add volume on top with layered pieces to maintain visual balance.
• Color & pattern: Neutral pants pair well with bold tops and accessories; printed pants are best balanced with simple, solid-color tops.
