Karen Millen Petite Compact Stretch Bootcut Tailored Trouser - Green - Size 16

The compact stretch fabric is designed to offer a high level of comfort and movement while maintaining excellent shape retention. This means the trousers resist stretching out or losing their form, even with frequent wear.

We recommend gentle machine washing in cold water on a delicate cycle, or hand washing. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to dry, and iron on a low setting if needed. Dry cleaning is also suitable.

Yes, the 'Petite' designation in the product title indicates they are cut with proportions suitable for shorter individuals, particularly in the length.

Absolutely. Their tailored design, clean front, and refined silhouette make them suitable for professional environments and can be dressed up with appropriate accessories for more formal events.

The ankle-grazing length and bootcut flare are versatile. They pair well with heels, including pointed court shoes, ankle boots, and even sophisticated flats, allowing you to showcase your footwear.

The key difference lies in the 'compact stretch fabric' which provides enhanced comfort and shape retention compared to traditional suiting materials. The tailored bootcut also offers a slightly more contemporary silhouette than a straight-leg or slim-fit.

Ensure proper drying methods are used (lay flat or hang). Avoid excessive heat during ironing. The compact stretch fabric is designed for shape retention, so adhering to care instructions is key.

Hang trousers immediately after wear. If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and iron while the fabric is slightly damp for best results.

This is often temporary with stretch fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the fabric's performance. Allow the garment to air dry completely.
