Product Insights
The Simons Side-Slit Wide-Leg Pant is a sustainable, travel-ready essential built around a crinkled ECOVERO, organic cotton, and linen fabric that needs no ironing and retains its texture after washing. Side slits enable a natural stride and passive airflow, while the covered elastic waistband with natural-fiber lining avoids rubbery pinch. Valued at $59 CAD, it upgrades from generic rayon to water- and CO2-efficient ECOVERO viscose for just $9 more than comparable options, and can be coordinated with a matching shirt and bolero from an exclusive Simons capsule. The tradeoff is a specific care routine—cold wash and flat drying—to preserve the inherent crinkle.
- Stride clearance
Side slits allow a full natural walking stride without the hem catching the calf.
Why this is supported
The side slits break the full wide hem that would otherwise catch on the calf. This design

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

How the long side slits change movement and silhouette — chimney_effect_ventilation, dramatically improving cooling in hot weather beyond the open-weave crinkled fabric.
- 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.
Why this is supported
The crinkled texture is designed to mask new wrinkles, as noted in the product listing:
Crinkled-looking fabric in a blend of ECOVERO viscose, organic cotton and linen
stylight.caThis design ensures that packing creases blend into the surface, so the pant is always ready to wear without ironing, making it ideal for travel.
- Care
The crinkle texture is inherent and returns after washing; requires cold wash and flat drying.
Why this is supported
The 13% linen in the blend causes the fabric to stiffen after washing, but the crinkle texture rebounds with normal wear. As explained by fabric care experts:
Linen will always seize up after washing but as soon as you start to use/wear it the fibres relax again.
patternscissorsfrock.com.auTo preserve the crinkle, the brand recommends a specific care routine:
For this blend of ECOVERO viscose, organic cotton, and linen, we recommend machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and laying flat to dry. Avoid bleach and high heat to prevent shrinkage.

Waistband avoids rubbery pinch and breathes with natural-fiber lining.
Why this is supported
The waistband's covered elastic ensures no rubbery band contacts the skin, preventing heat-trapping pinch.

LENZING ECOVERO viscose uses at least 50% less water and produces half the CO2 of generic viscose.
Why this is supported
The manufacturer, LENZING, states that
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibers are made using at least 50% less water and generate half the carbon emissions compared to generic viscose.
ecovero.com— and a retailer corroborates:
This garment is made from Lenzing™ EcoVero™ viscose, which is produced with up to 50% less water and CO2 emissions than conventional viscose.
ovsfashion.comBoth sources confirm the environmental benefit of the ECOVERO blend in this $59 pant.
- 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.
Why this is supported
This claim is supported by a price and material comparison between the Simons Side-Slit Wide-Leg Pant and the Old Navy High-Waisted Linen-Blend Super Wide-Leg Pant. Research indicates that at roughly $50 for the Old Navy pant and $59 for this Simons pant, the $9 difference buys a significant material upgrade from generic rayon to a blend of LENZING ECOVERO viscose, organic cotton, and linen, all of which have a lower environmental footprint.
The Simons Side-Slit Wide-Leg Pant has been compared to its closest competitors through deep price and feature research. Catalog found that at $59 CAD it undercuts Gap's Linen-Blend Easy Wide-Leg Pant by 45% while adding ECOVERO viscose, organic cotton, and linen as well as long side slits. It is only $9 more than Old Navy's linen-blend super wide-leg but adds slant pockets and upgraded fabric. Its long side slit positions it in the same design language as Bella Dahl's $158 USD Side Slit Beach Pant, which costs more than three times as much.
- Waistband lining
Covered elastic waistband is lined with the same ECOVERO/cotton/linen blend, avoiding synthetic skin contact.
Why this is supported
The waistband is constructed with the same material blend as the body, as the brand notes that

Très confortable à la taille. Je prends normalement du M mais celui-ci est S et me va très bien.
Love the blue colour
The pockets add some bulk to these pants and were very visible in the light colours, so I switched to blue and sized down from M to S. They were also a bit too long in M.

True to size. Wish they would bring back the black! And wish they were longer cos the texture shortens them after washing. Have them in 3 colours

Very nice for summer vacation
I brought the white ones recently on a cruise. They were nice and airy, though I would have preferred them to be less see-through. The pocket patches at the front are a little ugly because of the see-throughness. What I mean is, you can see where the pockets are through the pants. I’m 5’5” and they were dragging a touch on the ground. I had to pull them way up to make sure they wouldn’t get dirty.
