Product Insights
Contemporaine's Elastic Waist Poplin Barrel Pant is a petite-friendly, high-rise barrel leg trouser made from 100% organic cotton poplin that holds its silhouette all day without sagging. Sewn pleats and a zip fly give the elastic waist a tailored front with back flex, while slit piped back pockets add a dress-trouser finish. With a 14-inch front rise (2 inches taller than standard) and a 27-inch inseam that reaches full length on 5'3" and under, it pairs best with slim shoes to extend the leg line. Crisp fabric enables tucking and versatile styling from casual to office. At $29.95 (76% off $125, 53% less than Banana Republic's version), it aligns with the Summer 2026 cotton poplin trend and is part of Simons' exclusive curated label.
Verified claims
- Shape retention
- 100% organic cotton poplin holds barrel silhouette all day without sagging or ballooning.
- Design
- Sewn pleats and a zip fly give the elastic waist a tailored front while the back flexes.
- Back pockets
- Slit piped back pockets add a dress-trouser finish.
- Fabric
- 100% organic cotton poplin stays crisp, unlike Madewell's limp version.
- Waistband
- Gathered elastic back and sewn pleats flex with movement while the zip fly keeps the high-rise waistband secure and flat.
- Rise
- Front rise is 14 inches, about 2 inches taller than standard high rise.
- Inseam length
- 27-inch inseam reaches full length on 5'3 and under, cropped on average heights.
- Shoe pairing
- Pair with slim shoes—pointed flats or mules—to extend the leg line; chunky soles break it.
- Versatility
- Crisp organic cotton poplin holds shape, enabling tucking and casual-to-office styling.
- Fit
- The 27-inch inseam is widely recommended for women 5'3 and under, and the elastic-back high rise lets shorter torsos wear the waistband slightly lower without losing the polished line.
- Trend alignment
- Cotton poplin trousers are a Summer 2026 trend – this barrel leg fits.
- Provenance
- Exclusive Simons-designed-in-Canada label with curatorial oversight.
- Fabric opacity
- The 100% organic cotton poplin is tightly woven and generally opaque, but lighter colors like white or beige may show some sheerness in direct sunlight or when stretched; nude or seamless undergarments are suggested for lighter shades.
- Care
- Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low; line drying is a good option to minimize shrinkage and maintain the crisp poplin texture, and iron on medium if needed.
- Fit and sizing
- The barrel leg is looser through the hip and thigh than a straight leg and narrower at the hem than a wide leg; it runs true to size for a relaxed look, and the gathered elastic waist allows some fit flexibility if you prefer a snugger fit.
