Product Insights
These ultra-wide, high-rise pants from Contemporaine are crafted from a thick, fluid stretch crepe made with 58% recycled polyester, offering a structured, sculptural drape that remains polished throughout the day. The crepe's pebbled texture hides wrinkles while feeling soft against the skin, and the fabric has 20-30% stretch that recovers shape. The waistband combines a tailored flat front with an elastic back for comfort and flexibility, accommodating athletic builds and waist fluctuations. The 12-inch front rise and 27-inch inseam balance proportions for shorter torsos and visually elongate legs. The adjustable ankle drawstring is the main tradeoff, allowing two distinct silhouettes—a straight leg or a gathered hem—providing versatility in styling. A matching blazer is available for a coordinated suit, enhancing the value at $49.95.

Deep Research
Fit and sizing for high-rise pleated pants
- The 'delicately textured stretch crepe' here is described as 'thick' and 'fluid', while the brand's Drawcord Flowy Pant uses a 'flowy crepe with a soft, buttery feel' — the thicker, more substantial crepe imparts a structured volume to the ultra-wide leg that holds its A-line shape away from the body, making the deep pleats and voluminous cut read as architectural rather than slouchy.
- The two sewn front pleats release room through the hip and thigh without adding bulky gather at the waistband, while the elasticized back panel provides flex for seated comfort and daily waist fluctuation; this hybrid waist makes the pant particularly forgiving on athletic or curvier lower bodies without disturbing the clean, flat-front tailored look.
- At 12 inches for a size Small, the front rise is about an inch shorter than the 13-inch rise of the brand's Elastic Waistband Textured Crepe Pant and a full two inches shorter than the 14-inch rise of the Drawcord Flowy Pant, landing just below the natural waist for a high rise that avoids the upper-ribcage feel of super-high options — suiting shorter torsos or those who find 13-inch-plus rises excessive.
- With a 27-inch inseam on a size Small, this design hem is the shortest among Contemporaine's wide-leg cropped styles — the Drawcord Flowy Pant measures 27.5 inches and the Elastic Waistband Crepe Pant 29.5 inches — placing the break well above the ankle on average-height women (5'4"–5'6") for a deliberate ankle-baring silhouette that reads more fashion-forward than the longer cropped lengths.
How it compares to similar wide-leg pants
- The fabric is a stretch crepe described as 'fluid and thick for an impeccable drape' and 'soft, buttery feel,' qualities that elevate it above the lightweight polyester blends or no-stretch cotton gauze (like Universal Thread’s) commonly found in wide-leg pants at this price; its heavier, more sculpted fall reads as ‘polished casual’ rather than slouchy, making it a more versatile piece for settings beyond weekend errands.
- A matching blazer (sold separately, style 12562-229841) transforms these pants into a directional anti-suit — reminiscent of the coordinated sets from Cos or Aritzia but at a fraction of the cost if acquired on sale, effectively doubling the outfit's utility for work or events while keeping the entry price to a minimum.
The feel and drape of textured stretch crepe
- The fabric’s substantial weight—described as ‘fluid and thick’—means the ultra-wide leg hangs in clean, vertical lines rather than billowing, giving the pant a polished, almost sculptural presence that elevates it above typical lounge-style wide-legs.
- Since stretch crepe extends up to 20–30% and recovers quickly, the high-wrap waist and roomy seat adapt to a range of motion without losing their structured silhouette—critical for a pant that’s both tailored and relaxed.
- The crepe’s high-twist yarns produce a pebbled, almost sandy texture that naturally hides creases, so the ultra-wide legs hold a freshly pressed look through a full day of wear without needing touch-ups.
- Stretch crepe’s grainy face belies a surprisingly soft hand, making the pant comfortable enough for bare-legged wear and ensuring the high-waist elastic band doesn’t dig or irritate over hours.
How the drawstring ankle changes the look
- The delicately textured stretch crepe—described as both fluid and thick, with a buttery feel—ensures that when the drawstring is cinched, the fabric gathers into soft, organic folds rather than stiff puckers, so the gathered ankle silhouette retains a high-end drape that elevates the pant beyond loungewear.
- The drawstring ankle effectively gives two pant lengths in one: fully loosened, it's a floor-grazing wide-leg trouser; tightened, it becomes a cropped, gathered style that reads as a distinctly different garment—a versatility that makes it packable for travel where a single pair can shift from day to evening with only a shoe swap.
