Product Insights
The Soft And Stretch Pant is a semi-slim leg, mid-rise pant that actually provides full high-rise coverage with a 12-inch front rise, designed for career women aged 30-40. Made from a woven blend of 67% recycled polyester and 29% rayon, it offers wrinkle resistance, quick drying, breathability, and moisture wicking, plus 4% spandex for stretch without sheen. At C$125, it sits between Abercrombie Sloane and Aritzia Effortless as an exclusive house brand, part of Simons' sustainability target. The trade-off: rayon may pill, requiring cold delicate wash and low tumble dry to preserve softness.
Verified claims
- Rise
- In size 4, the pant has a 12-inch front rise that sits at or just above the navel and offers waist-defining coverage similar to a high-rise, while the official rise label remains mid rise.
- Fit
- Semi-slim leg with an ankle-length tailored silhouette fills a fit gap between wide-leg competitors like the Abercrombie Sloane and Aritzia Effortless; in size 4 the front rise is 12 inches.
- Fabric
- Woven 67% recycled polyester/29% rayon: wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, soft drape, may pill.
- Travel-friendly
- Resists wrinkles and dries quickly for travel.
- Breathability
- Breathable and moisture-wicking for comfort in changing temperatures.
- Drape
- 29% rayon prevents the semi-slim leg from looking stiff or synthetic.
- Stretch
- 4% spandex adds stretch without the compression or athletic sheen of higher-spandex performance pants, preserving a polished, non-technical appearance.
- Pilling
- Rayon may pill; gentle wash care preserves softness.
- Heritage
- Born in the 1960s, designed by a 50-person in-house team for career women aged 30-40.
- Exclusivity
- Exclusive house brand at C$125, between Abercrombie Sloane and Aritzia Effortless.
- Sustainability
- Part of Simons' target to produce 40-60% of its lines from recycled products.
- Suit pairing
- Semi-slim leg and 12-inch rise fit under the matching blazer, no hemming required.
- Care
- Cold delicate wash and low tumble dry prevent pilling and preserve softness.
- Wrinkle resistance
- 67% recycled polyester resists wrinkles and retains shape.
- Quick drying
- Sink-washed pants air-dry overnight for next-day wear.
- All-day office comfort
- The pant is comfortable enough for all-day office wear while still looking polished: the 67% recycled polyester resists creasing and holds its shape through long sits and commutes, and the semi-slim leg and elevated rise create a cohesive, office-ready silhouette.
- Fabric construction
- The Contemporaine pant uses a finely woven fabric rather than a ponte knit, delivering the drape and structure of a traditional trouser with the softness of stretch and a tailored, non-athleisure office appearance.
- Sizing consistency
- Contemporaine pants generally follow the same size chart, so shoppers can take their usual size across styles; the Soft And Stretch Pant's semi-slim fit and mid rise may differ in leg opening and rise, and the size 4 measurements are a 12-inch front rise and 29-inch inseam.
