FAQs

What material are these trousers made from?

These trousers are crafted from a flowing woven wool fabric.

How should I care for these trousers?

As they are made from wool, we generally recommend dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash in cold water. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for detailed instructions to preserve its quality.

Are these trousers suitable for everyday casual wear?

While stylish, these trousers are designed primarily for formal events and occasions, making them ideal for making a striking entrance rather than daily casual outfits.

What is the inside leg length of these trousers?

The trousers feature a versatile 75cm inside leg length.

Do these trousers have pockets?

Yes, they include stylish and practical side pockets for your convenience.

Can I wear these trousers with flat shoes?

While typically styled with heels to enhance the wide-leg drape, you can wear them with flats. Consider the overall length and ensuring they don't drag on the ground for the best look.

What occasions are these trousers best suited for?

These trousers are perfect for formal events, weddings, race days, galas, and any occasion where you want to make a sophisticated and elegant statement.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear too long for my height.

The 75cm inside leg is versatile, but individual heights vary. We recommend consulting a professional tailor for precise hemming to achieve your desired length.

Fabric seems to be creasing easily.

Wool can crease if stored incorrectly. Ensure trousers are hung on a padded hanger with ample space. For existing creases, use a steamer or a cool iron with a pressing cloth.

Stripe pattern looks distorted after washing.

This can occur if care instructions are not followed. Ensure you are either dry cleaning or hand washing with cold water and laying flat to dry, as harsh washing or drying can affect woven fabrics.

My trousers feel slightly snug or loose despite being my size.

Fit can vary slightly. Ensure you are checking against the Wallis size guide. For a more comfortable fit, consider wearing suitable undergarments. If consistently an issue, explore other available sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Styling & Compatibility

These trousers are compatible with a range of formal and semi-formal tops and accessories.

They pair well with heels to enhance the leg-lengthening effect of the wide-leg design.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Wallis Contrast Stripe Split Trousers, proper care is essential, especially given their wool material:

  • Washing: Info needed: Specific washing instructions for wool fabric are crucial. Generally, wool garments require either dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash in cold water with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid machine washing unless the care label explicitly states it.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry on a clean, dry surface, away from direct sunlight or heat, to maintain shape and prevent shrinking.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron with a pressing cloth if necessary. Avoid direct heat on the fabric.
  • Storage: Store on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the drape of the fabric. Ensure adequate space in your wardrobe to avoid crushing.
