Fit Tips:

  • Elastic Waist: The stretchy waistband accommodates a range of measurements within each size, providing comfortable flexibility
  • Cropped Length: Pants hit approximately at the ankle on most heights; if you're taller than 5'7", expect a more cropped look
  • Loose Fit: Designed with a relaxed leg for comfort and movement—not form-fitting through thighs or calves
  • Measurement Tip: For best results, measure your natural waist and hips, then compare to the size chart above
  • When in Doubt: Choose the larger size, especially given the Asian sizing conversion—the elastic waist will adjust comfortably

Styling Q&A

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.
Q: These pants look amazing! What size should I order if I normally wear a US size 8?
A: Since this item uses Asian sizing which runs smaller than US standards, we recommend ordering size L or XL if you typically wear US size 8. Check the detailed measurements in our Size & Fit Guide and compare to your own measurements for the most accurate fit. When in doubt, size up—the elastic waist provides comfortable adjustment.
Q: Are these pants see-through or do I need to wear a slip underneath?
A: Not at all! These pants are fully opaque with good coverage, so no underlayers or slips are needed. You can wear them confidently with any standard undergarments.
Q: How do I style the side lace-up detail? Is it functional or decorative?
A: The side lace-up is primarily a decorative design element that adds vintage charm and visual interest. You can adjust it slightly for styling preference, but the elastic waistband provides the main fit functionality. It's a beautiful detail that makes these pants stand out from basic cropped styles.
Q: What shoes work best with cropped pants?
A: The ankle-length cut is incredibly versatile! Sneakers and flat sandals create casual looks, while mules, pointed-toe flats, or low block heels elevate the style. Avoid ankle boots that cut at the same point as the hem—opt instead for shoes that either show skin at the ankle or go higher up the leg.
Q: Can I dress these up for work or are they strictly casual?
A: While these have a relaxed, artistic aesthetic best suited for casual and creative environments, you can dress them up for business-casual or creative workplace settings. Pair with a structured blouse, blazer, and polished flats or loafers. The darker colors (black, dark blue) work best for more professional styling.
Q: Will these pants shrink after washing?
A: To minimize any shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Cotton fabrics can experience minimal shrinkage with hot water or high heat, so following the care instructions will help maintain the original fit and length.
