| Charcoal-Check Pleated Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a high-rise, wide-leg tailored pant with a polished pleated front and a charcoal windowpane check. It is cut from a supple wool-blend tweed (30% wool) with a silky knee-length lining, and features four sewn waist pleats, belt loops, side slant pockets, and a zip fly with hidden hook. Note the inseam measures 27.5 inches (70 cm) on the size 4 sample, and the listing offers one color, Patterned Grey, in sizes 2 through 16.[1,2] | Moderne Textured Crepe Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a high-rise, wide-leg pant with a gathered elastic waist at the back for comfort and a polished, trendy silhouette in a substantial, fluid stretch crepe that drapes well. It suits office suiting with the matching blazer or warm-weather events, and reviewers say the cut works especially well for hourglass figures with narrow waists and full hips. Note the waistband runs snug (many reviewers size up), there are no belt loops, and the roughly 33-inch inseam typically needs hemming if you are under 5 feet 5 inches without heels.[3] | Patch Pockets Pure Linen Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want breathable 100% certified European linen in a high-rise, wide-leg cut that reviews describe as polished enough for office or smart-casual wear and easy to dress down with a tee on weekends. The gathered elastic waistband at the back, zip fly, and front and back patch pockets support all-day comfort, and the thick washed linen weave is reported to drape smoothly and stay opaque. Note that pure linen creases quickly and requires steaming for a crisp look, and the roughly 30-inch inseam runs long for wearers under 5 feet 7 inches, who may need hemming or heels.[4,5] |
