FAQs
Are these trousers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, the drawstring waist offers some flexibility for a precise fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended, as heat may cause the cotton to shrink; air-drying is the safest approach.
Is the material stretchy?
The material is primarily cotton, which provides a natural, soft feel rather than synthetic stretch.
Do the side pockets hold a smartphone securely?
The pockets are designed for lightweight items like keys or cards; a large smartphone may feel heavy or cause the fabric to sag.
Can these be dressed up for an evening out?
Absolutely, pairing them with a silk blouse and heeled boots transforms them into a sophisticated evening ensemble.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after washing
Use a garment steamer or a low-heat iron to smooth out the cotton fabric while slightly damp.
Drawstring ends pulling into the waistband
Carefully feed the string back through the channel using a safety pin or a bodkin needle.
Fabric appearing faded over time
Always wash the trousers inside out and use a detergent formulated specifically for dark or black fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trousers feature a pull-on design, there is no complex setup required. For long-term maintenance, it is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the cotton fibers. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, which can fade the deep black color. When drying, air-drying is the best method to avoid shrinkage and maintain the original shape of the wide-leg silhouette. If ironing is necessary, use a low-heat setting to prevent scorching the fabric.
