FAQs

What occasions are these trousers most suitable for?

These trousers are ideal for formal events, weddings, race days, sophisticated evening gatherings, and any occasion where an elegant and striking presence is desired.

What is the inside leg length of these trousers?

The inside leg length is 75cm, designed to be versatile for various heights and can be styled with different shoe types.

How should I style these trousers for different looks?

For a coordinated look, pair with the matching cowl neck top. For refined events, combine with a crisp white blouse and pointed court shoes. For evening sophistication, add statement earrings and a structured clutch.

Do these trousers have pockets?

Yes, they feature stylish side pockets that add practical functionality without compromising the sleek design.

What kind of fabric are these trousers made from?

The trousers are crafted from a flowing woven wool fabric, which provides a beautiful drape and comfortable wear.

How do I properly care for the wool fabric?

Always refer to the garment's care label, but generally, woven wool requires dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cold water, reshaping, and laying flat to air dry. Avoid tumble drying and use a cool iron if necessary.

Are these trousers comfortable for extended wear at long events?

Yes, the combination of the flowing woven wool fabric and the flattering high-waist design is intended to offer comfort alongside undeniable style, making them suitable for long events.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear wrinkled or creased easily.

Check the garment's care label for recommended ironing temperature and method for wool. A steam iron on a low setting or professional steaming can effectively remove wrinkles while preserving the fabric's integrity. Ensure proper storage by hanging or folding neatly to prevent creasing.

The fabric's drape doesn't seem as flowing as expected after washing.

Ensure you are following the specific washing and drying instructions on the care label, particularly for wool. Incorrect drying methods (e.g., tumble drying, hanging wet) can affect the fabric's natural drape. Laying flat to dry is usually best for woven wool garments.

The trousers feel too snug or loose, even in the correct size.

The high-waist design is meant to sit at your natural waist. Verify your measurements against the Wallis size guide. If the issue persists, consider if the garment's natural stretch or cut is suitable for your body type, or if a different size would provide a more comfortable fit.

Care Instructions

The trousers are crafted from a flowing woven wool fabric. Proper care is essential to maintain their shape, drape, and longevity. Always check the specific care label on your garment for the most accurate instructions, but general care for wool includes:

  • Washing: Due to the wool content, professional dry cleaning is often recommended. If hand washing is an option on the care label, use cold water with a gentle wool-specific detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water; avoid wringing.
  • Drying: Reshape the trousers while damp and lay them flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, and do not tumble dry, as this can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric's drape.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron or steam iron on a 'wool' setting. It is advisable to use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent scorching or marking. Smooth gently to remove wrinkles.
  • Storage: Store these trousers either folded neatly to prevent stretching or hung on a padded hanger to maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Ensure they are clean before storing for extended periods.
