Wearing them as full-length high-rise wide-leg trousers
A floor-length plaid pant with a wide straight leg and high waistband, shown in warm caramel with merlot and black check lines. In the product imagery they are worn full-length, paired with what appears to be a matching plaid blazer above the waist.[1,2]
Wearing the pants as a plaid suit with the matching blazer
Pair these caramel-and-merlot plaid pants with the matching blazer (sold separately under item 17455-230035) for a coordinated suit look. In the product imagery, the high waistband sits at the natural waist with a slight overlap under the matching blazer, keeping the plaid pattern continuous from top to waist.[1,2]
Hands-in-pockets styling with the side seam pockets
These wide-leg, high-rise pants have side seam pockets you can slip your hand into while wearing them. In the product image, the model rests a hand partially in the right side seam pocket, which creates a slight pull and shaping at the hip.[3]
Lightweight everyday wear
These high-rise wide-leg plaid pants are made from a supple, lightweight fabric with a touch of wool, so they drape easily and feel soft in wear. A comfortable pick for days when you want a polished look without heavy fabric.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Caramel And Merlot Plaid Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want high-rise, wide-leg trousers in a black-and-caramel plaid with burgundy and red accents, made from a lightweight, supple blend of 60% recycled polyester, 25% viscose and 15% wool, with front pleats, slant pockets and a matching blazer sold separately. It suits shoppers after a full-length, tailored look with a loose flowing drape. Note that the hem is long enough to pool slightly at the floor and cover much of the shoes, and the listed rise (33 cm front) and 84 cm inseam are measured on the size 4.[1,2,3] | Moderne Textured Crepe Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a polished, high-rise wide-leg pant for office suiting or dressy occasions — reviewers pair it with the matching blazer and heels, and say its substantial, flowy stretch crepe also works for warm-weather events. The elastic back waist and generous leg reportedly suit hourglass figures without gaping, and part of the polyester comes from recycled plastic bottles. Note that the waist runs snug for many (reviewers often size up), there are no belt loops, and the roughly 33-inch inseam means shorter wearers will likely need hemming.[4] | Patch Pockets Pure Linen Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a high-rise, wide-leg pant in heavyweight pure linen for warm-weather office or business-casual wear: per customer review analysis, the thick washed 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE certified European linen drapes cleanly, resists sheerness, and the airy wide leg suits hot days. The size 4 inseam measures 30 inches (76 cm), and reviewers 5 feet 5 inches and under report the hem drags, so hemming or a shorter version is needed for petite frames. The pure linen wrinkles readily (steaming or an iron restores crispness), and a gathered elastic waistband at the back enables beltless wear, though some reviewers were disappointed not to find a flat front all around.[5] |
