Are these trousers true to size?

The high-stretch fabric and drawstring waist give some leeway, but the straight leg is cut close to the body. Shoppers between sizes often size up for a looser leg.

Do they really not need ironing?

The polyester-spandex blend resists creasing and recovers from sitting, so most owners hang them straight from the wash. Very hot drying can set wrinkles, so air-dry or use low heat.

Are they good for summer?

They are lightweight, but the polyester content makes them warmer than cotton or linen. They suit air-conditioned offices and mild weather better than hot, humid days.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air-dry or tumble low. Avoid high heat, which can damage the spandex stretch over time.

What is the difference from wide-leg trousers?

These have a straighter, narrower leg that follows the line of the leg. Wide-leg styles flare out from the hip and need more structured fabric to hold their shape.
