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.
