Side-Slit Wide-Leg Pant

Verified claims

Stride clearance

Side slits allow a full natural walking stride without the hem catching the calf.

Cooling

Side slits improve cooling by creating a passive airflow channel up the leg.

Styling

Side slits visually elongate the leg and set this pant apart from basic wide-leg styles.

Travel readiness

Crinkled texture hides wrinkles, so the pant needs no ironing and is travel-friendly.

Care

The crinkle texture is inherent and returns after washing; requires cold wash and flat drying.

Comfort

Waistband avoids rubbery pinch and breathes with natural-fiber lining.

Sustainability

LENZING ECOVERO viscose uses at least 50% less water and produces half the CO2 of generic viscose.

Value vs competitors

This $59 pant upgrades from generic rayon (as in a similar Old Navy pant) to ECOVERO viscose and organic cotton for just $9 more.

Waistband lining

Covered elastic waistband is lined with the same ECOVERO/cotton/linen blend, avoiding synthetic skin contact.

Versatility

Q&A confirms everyday use; slant pockets and matching set expand styling.

Eco & value

Simons exclusive with ECOVERO viscose; at $59 CAD with added features.

Matching set

Matching shirt and bolero share the pant's fabric and relaxed proportions.

Exclusivity

Will the crinkle finish last through washing and wear?

• Because 13% linen in the blend gives the fabric a natural memory, the pants will seize up and look less crinkled straight out of the wash, but the texture relaxes back into a crinkled state as soon as you wear them — the crinkle is designed to rebound, not disappear.
• The 'do not tumble dry' warning on crinkle fabrics is about more than shrinkage — dryer heat sets linen and cotton fibers into a flat state that can become permanent, so sticking to flat drying is the single most direct way to keep the crinkled texture intact over years of use.

All-day comfort of the covered elastic waist

• The elastic is fully wrapped in the pant's crinkled viscose-cotton-linen fabric rather than exposed, so no rubbery band contacts the skin — this prevents the kind of heat-trapping pinch that bare elastic can cause after a few hours sitting on a warm beach towel, and it means the waistband resists rolling or twisting.
• The elastic is lined with the same 50% Lenzing ECOVERO viscose / 37% organic cotton / 13% linen blend used for the body, so the waistband benefits from cotton's absorbency, linen's crisp dry touch, and ECOVERO's silky smoothness — together they keep the waistline cooler and drier than a synthetic casing would, which matters on humid days when skin‑against‑plastic can feel sticky.
• Because the elastic is encased without heavy gathers, the waistband lies nearly flat and distributes its gentle hold across its full width, avoiding the distinct pressure line of a narrow exposed elastic — on a wide‑leg pant where the waist is the sole point of security, this flat fit prevents sagging without constant readjustment.

Styling the matching shirt and bolero as a set

• A matching bolero is a rare piece in a beachwear pant set, and its inclusion transforms the pant from a basic cover-up into an outfit with evening potential — the extra layer provides arm coverage for cooler seaside dinners and a structured top half that reads more polished than bare shoulders.
• The pant is one part of a planned co-ord that includes a matching shirt and bolero, so the buyer can purchase a complete, pre-styled outfit without the typical trial-and-error of finding a separate top that works with a voluminous wide-leg silhouette. The three pieces were designed as a set, meaning the crinkled fabric continuity and relaxed proportions are already solved.

How the long side slits change movement and silhouette

• On a wide-leg silhouette, the long side slit introduces a vertical line that interrupts the horizontal volume, elongating the wearer’s leg and preventing the shape from reading as boxy — this is especially active in the Off White and Sand colorways, which would otherwise present as uninterrupted blocks of colour.
• Because the 50% ECOVERO viscose / 37% cotton / 13% linen crinkled fabric is already open-weave and breathable, the long side slits create a passive airflow path up the leg — dramatically improving cooling performance for beach-to-street wear in hot weather and visually setting the pant apart from a simple elastic-waist linen trouser.
• The long side slits break what would otherwise be a full-circumference wide hem that catches on the calf with each forward step, transforming the pant from a restrictive beach cover-up into a garment that allows a complete natural walking stride while keeping the full wide-leg drape intact.

How this pant compares to other linen-blend beach pants under $100

• For only $9 more than Old Navy’s bluntly-cut High-Waisted Linen-Blend Super Wide-Leg Pant, the Simons pant adds long side slits, slant pockets rather than basic on-seam hip pockets, and swaps generic rayon for organic cotton and ECOVERO™ viscose — the design upgrade is effectively nominal in cost.
• As part of a three-piece capsule with a matching shirt and bolero, the pant anchors a coordinated look that avoids the piecemeal assembly required with most budget wide-leg pants — a rare set play at a $59 entry price.
• Designed in Canada as a Simons exclusive, the pant channels private-label design attention into a $59 price tier that usually delivers generic fast-fashion pieces, giving it a point of difference for customers who value originality over mass-market ubiquity.
• At $59 CAD, the Simons pant costs 45% less than Gap’s $108 CAD Linen-Blend Easy Wide-Leg Pant, yet trades generic rayon for a more considered blend of organic cotton, ECOVERO™ viscose, and linen while also adding the side-slit design language that the Gap pant entirely lacks.
• Long side slits distinguish this pant from the pull-on wide-leg basics sold by Gap and Old Navy, landing closer to the $158 USD Bella Dahl Side Slit Beach Pant — a $200+ CAD value that makes the Simons version read as a design-forward piece rather than a basic.
• The inclusion of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose — a fiber produced with up to 50% less water and CO₂ than conventional viscose — is uncommon in the sub-$100 beach pant category, making this one of the most ecologically considerate wide-leg options at its price.
