Product Insights
The Belted Flowy Essential Pant from Contemporaine is a wide-leg, mid-rise pant made from 93% Livaeco viscose (7% polyester), offering a high-waist fit across sizes 0-10 despite the 'Mid Rise' label. Non-stretch viscose twill with four front pleats and a sewn belt cinches the waist, providing hip room without pulling. The pant delivers a liquid drape with silky sheen, high breathability, and moisture absorption for cool comfort. Its Livaeco viscose biodegrades within six weeks in landfill, is FSC-certified, EU BAT manufactured, and traceable. Designed in Canada as a Simons private label, the pant is exclusive to Simons and targets modern career women. At $69.95, it includes a faux-leather belt, and a matching vest (sold separately) creates a two-piece suit.
Verified claims
- Pleat & belt engineering
- Four sewn pleats and a belt cinch the high waist, preventing pulling in non-stretch viscose twill.
- Value
- At $69.95, the pant includes a faux-leather belt, delivering outfit-complete value.
- Stretch
- Minimal stretch; front pleats provide hip room that collapses flat.
- Drape & sheen
- Flowy, liquid drape with a long-lasting silky sheen.
- Breathability
- The Livaeco viscose is highly breathable and does not trap heat like polyester, so the pant stays cooler in warmer months.
- Biodegradability
- Livaeco viscose biodegrades within six weeks in landfill.
- Sustainability
- 93% Livaeco viscose (7% polyester) is FSC-certified, EU BAT manufactured, traceable, biodegrades in 6 weeks, and retains sheen.
- Brand governance
- Contemporaine is a Simons-exclusive brand designed in Canada, so the pant is not available from other retailers.
- Brand identity
- Exclusive to Simons and designed in Canada, positioned for modern career women.
- Wardrobe pairing
- Includes faux-leather belt; matching vest sold separately for two-piece suit.
- Fit and tailoring
- Non-stretch twill with four front pleats provides hip room and a sharp silhouette; on size 4, the 12-inch front rise sits at the natural waist.
- Matching vest
- Style 17455-227076 matching vest sold separately creates a two-piece suit.
- Rise
- On size 4, the 12-inch front rise aligns with a high waist, despite the title's 'Mid Rise' label; measurements for other sizes are not provided.
- Drape vs regular viscose
- The Livaeco viscose twill has a flowy, silky drape similar to high-quality regular viscose.
- Sustainable sourcing & traceability
- The Livaeco viscose is made from FSC-certified wood pulp and can be traced from forest to garment via a molecular tracer and QR code.
- Manufacturing standards
- The viscose fiber is produced using EU Best Available Techniques, which target lower emissions and resource efficiency compared with conventional viscose manufacturing.
- Sizing feedback
- One reviewer says the pants fit well, and another recommends taking one or two sizes larger so the wide leg drapes well.

A polished wide-leg pant with the belt included
Style these wide-leg, mid-rise pants as an easy pull-together outfit for days when you want a tailored look without fuss — a faux-leather belt comes included and threads through the belt loops to finish the waist. The flowy twill with a silky sheen, center creases, and welt back pockets give a dressed-up feel, while the versatile silhouette and relaxed drape keep them comfortable to wear.[1,2,3,4]
Wearing it as a matching set with the separately sold vest
These belted, mid-rise wide-leg pants can be styled as a coordinated set with a matching sleeveless button-front cropped vest, as shown on the model. The vest is a separate purchase under item 17455-227076, so you can buy it alongside the pant to recreate the look.[1,2,5]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Belted Flowy Essential Pant Fit: Wide Leg, Mid Rise: Choose this if you want a wide-leg pant in a flowy twill with a silky sheen for versatile, polished styling. It comes with a faux-leather belt included, four sewn pleats, slit side-seam pockets and welt back pockets, in a 93% responsibly sourced Livaeco viscose and 7% polyester blend with a 31-inch inseam (in size 4), offered in sizes 0 to 10 and in Black or Taupe. Note that the listing title describes a mid rise while the description calls it a high waist, so check the fit if rise height matters to you, and a matching vest is sold separately.[2] | Essential Stretch Pant Fit: Wide Leg, Mid Rise: Choose this if you want a comfortable, polished wide-leg pant with a mid rise, four sewn waist pleats, zip fly, and belt loops — reviewers say its soft, stretchy cut (67% recycled polyester, 29% rayon, 4% spandex) stays comfortable through travel, long flights, and all-day wear, and styles easily from sneakers to heels. It comes in sizes 0 to 16 and four colors (Black, Slate Grey, Honey/Camel, Navy/Midnight Blue). Note that reviewers say the 32 inch inseam runs long, so shoppers under 5 feet 5 inches typically need hemming, and the wide leg can overwhelm slim frames while opinions on the fabric texture are split.[6] | Moderne Textured Crepe Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a dressy high-rise, wide-leg pant for office suiting or warm-weather events — the substantial textured crepe drapes with a polished feel, has real side pockets, and a matching blazer exists for a suit look. Note that the roughly 33-inch inseam suits tall wearers and heels but usually needs hemming (a free in-store service is available), the waist runs snug despite the back elastic so many size up, and the wide leg may overwhelm petites or anyone wanting a tapered silhouette — plus there are no belt loops, and fabric feel varies by color (navy was reported thin and a brown batch arrived creased).[7] |

Fit well very good quality
The pants fit well- not too tight or too loose.
Beau pantalon
Très beau pantalon, confortable et donne un look habillé mais pas ennuyant. La ceinture est moche, je ne l'utiliserai pas mais elle s'enlève. N'hésitez pas à prendre 1 ou 2 tailles plus grandes pour que le pantalon tombe bien.
