Essential Stretch Pant Fit: Wide Leg, Mid Rise
Essential Stretch Pant is a women's wide-leg, mid-rise trouser designed in Canada by Contemporaine by Simons. It features a finely woven fabric combining softness and stretch, partially made with polyester from recycled plastic bottles, along with four sewn front pleats, a zip fly with belt loops, slanted side pockets, and trompe-l'oeil sewn piped back pockets. For size 4, the front rise measures 12.5 inches (32 cm) and the inseam length is 32 inches (81.5 cm), making it suitable for versatile professional and casual wear.

Product Insights
The Essential Stretch Pant delivers a polished, structured wide-leg silhouette through a high 12.5-inch rise that visually elongates the legs, especially when paired with tucked-in tops. Its recycled polyester-rayon-spandex blend (67/29/4) offers a silky drape, stretch recovery, and wrinkle resistance, while front pleats expand when seated for ease and lie flat standing. However, the back pockets are faux—decorative piping that maintains a sleek line but sacrifices utility, and the high rise may sit uncomfortably on shorter torsos. Available in black, camel, grey, and navy, each color supports distinct styling, and all colors fit identically. Machine washable with recommended cold water and low heat to preserve shape.
Verified claims
- Proportion with wide leg
- High rise anchors the wide leg for a balanced silhouette.
- Seated expansion
- Pleats expand when seated to free room for hips and thighs, then lie flat when standing.
- Pleat styling
- A structured waistline designed to be paired with tucked-in tops.
- Back pockets
- Back welt pockets are faux—decorative sewn piping, not functional.
- Drape and handfeel
- 29% rayon provides a silky hand and excellent drape for the wide leg.
- Stretch and recovery
- 4% spandex provides stretch and shape retention through the day.
- Fit and silhouette details
- Front pleats release for sitting ease; fake back pockets avoid bulk for a sleek line.
- Colorway styling
- Each color supports distinct outfits: black for monochrome/office, camel for preppy/casual, grey for bold accents, navy for relaxed.
- Proportion and silhouette
- Shorter blazer or tucked top balances the wide leg; trompe-l'oeil pockets keep silhouette smooth.
- Rise
- 12.5-inch rise visually elongates legs when paired with tucked tops, but may sit high on shorter torsos.
- Care
- Machine washable; cold water and low heat drying recommended to preserve fit.
- Shape retention
- Spandex stretch recovery and front pleats prevent bagging and maintain the wide-leg silhouette.
- Pleats and pockets
- Front pleats expand when seated yet lay flat, while back pockets are faux to keep the silhouette smooth.
- Proportion styling
- The wide leg is best balanced with tucked-in tops, cropped jackets, monochrome looks, and pointed-toe shoes.
- Fabric
- Soft, smooth, wrinkle-resistant recycled polyester-rayon-spandex (67/29/4) machine washable.
- Silhouette polish
- Pleats, decorative back pockets, and high rise maintain a sleek, polished silhouette.
- Fit consistency
- All color options fit exactly the same—pattern and fabric are identical

Tissus peu confortable
Je n'aime pas le tissus, je vais retourner ce pantalon
Too much pant
The quality was good. There was just too much pant for my slim figure.
Great casual/dress pant
Love the fabric and style, at 5. 4 I definitely needed to hem up.
