Does the elastic waistband stretch enough to accommodate a size difference, or is it true to the numbered size?

The elastic at the back provides some give, but the waistband isn't fully stretchy—the front has sewn pleats and no elastic, so it's best to choose the size that matches your hip and waist measurements. Most customers find the fit true to the numbered size, with the elastic accommodating only minor fluctuations (e.g., between meals).

What are the recommended care instructions for this viscose fabric? Can it be machine washed?

We recommend hand washing this pant in cold water or using a gentle machine cycle with cold water. Hang to dry and avoid wringing or twisting to preserve the delicate hammered texture. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

Product Insights

The Flowy Hammered Pant from Contemporaine uses EU Ecolabel-certified ECOVERO viscose (closed-loop, 50% fewer emissions and water) with a molecular marker for traceability. Its hammered texture creates subtle luster and depth, while the fabric has a dry, cashmere-like feel and resists wrinkles. Four front pleats and a 13-inch high rise with elastic back anchor the waistband and prevent slipping, paired with a 31-inch inseam for a floor-grazing wide leg that elongates the silhouette on 5'5" to 5'7" wearers. It complements a matching blazer for a coordinated suit. Tradeoffs: delicate care (hand wash or gentle cycle, hang dry) is required to preserve texture, and the inseam is tailored to a specific height range. At a sale price of $89.95, it undercuts typical suit trousers.

Deep Research

LENZING ECOVERO viscose: drape, feel, and sustainability

LENZING ECOVERO was the first viscose brand to achieve the EU Ecolabel (license no. AT/016/001), a rigorous full-lifecycle environmental certification — so when the pant is labeled 'responsibly sourced,' it's backed by a concrete, third-party standard, not just a brand’s internal claim.
The wood pulp for ECOVERO is procured exclusively from FSC®- (FSC-C041246) or PEFC- (PEFC/06-33-92) certified forests, ensuring the raw material is harvested under standards that safeguard biodiversity and long-term forest health — a transparency that generic viscose seldom offers.
The ECOVERO production process operates in a closed-loop system that recovers and reuses more than 99% of the chemicals used, drastically reducing harmful effluent compared to conventional viscose manufacturing — so the fabric’s sustainability extends beyond raw materials to the factory floor.
Every LENZING ECOVERO fiber incorporates a molecular marker that survives processing into finished garments, enabling verification of the fiber’s presence — so the ECOVERO content claim on this pant is substantively verifiable, closing the gap between marketing and material reality.
ECOVERO fibers are engineered to deliver a tactile softness and a flowing, body-skimming drape that gives woven fabrics an airy, elevated hand — directly contributing to the wide-leg pant’s effortless movement and relaxed polish without weighing it down.
Compared to generic viscose, producing LENZING ECOVERO fibers consumes at least 50% less water and generates at least 50% fewer carbon emissions, as verified by Higg MSI — meaning the fabric in this pant carries a measurably smaller environmental footprint without sacrificing the fluid drape of conventional viscose.

Fit and proportions on different body types

A matching blazer (sold separately) converts these pull-on pants into a coordinated suit — the elastic back is concealed under the jacket, so the outfit reads as polished tailoring, while the trompe-l'oeil piped flap pockets maintain a rear view that mimics true pants construction, making the set viable for offices or events where a traditional blazer-and-trouser combination is expected.
Four sewn pleats at the front waist introduce controlled fullness from the top, giving the ultra-wide leg a trouser-like volume that moves fluidly rather than hanging flat; they also create ease through the hip without requiring belt loops or a structured waistband, so the elastic-back design can remain clean and uncluttered.
At 13 inches in a size 4, the front rise sits well above the belly button — a true high rise that anchors the waistband against the torso, which is critically important for a wide leg because the loose cut provides no downward tension to keep it in place; the addition of elastic at the back supplies the grip that a mid-rise wide leg typically lacks, making the pant secure enough for all-day wear without constant adjustment.
The leg width stays consistent from mid-thigh to hem — no taper, no flare — which is the technical definition of a true wide leg; the 'ultra' spec pushes the circumference well beyond a relaxed straight, creating a dramatic, unfettered column that elongates by presenting one vertical band of fabric from hip to floor rather than breaking at the knee or curving around the calf.
The flowy, lightweight viscose has enough body to hang straight but is refined enough to ripple with movement instead of standing stiff; the delicate hammered surface adds subtle texture that catches light and softens the silhouette, ensuring the ultra-wide leg reads as liquid and elegant rather than bulky or sack-like.
With a 31-inch inseam on a size 4, the hem is designed to reach the floor on a 5'5"–5'7" frame in flat shoes, delivering the full-length proportion that pairs with the high rise to maximize visual leg length; a floor-grazing hem on a wide leg creates a continuous vertical line from waist to ground, which is the most effective way to wear the silhouette for elongation.

What the hammered texture brings to the pant

Hammered viscose is described in the industry as 'dry and fluid' — the fabric glides like a liquid but has a matte, non-clingy touch that prevents it from sticking, making it ideal for warm-weather wear.
The hammered finishing process imparts a soft, almost cashmere-like hand feel that feels indulgent against the skin, lifting the comfort of the pull-on style beyond typical viscose pants.
The hammered surface catches and scatters light, creating a subtle, shifting luster across the solid sand colorway that adds depth and elevates the pant beyond a flat weave.
The hammered finish gives the viscose a soft, fluid drape that amplifies the ultra-wide-leg silhouette, making the pant move with an airy, graceful motion — akin to silk but in a breathable viscose.
The irregular, hammered surface masks the inevitable light creases of viscose, keeping the pant looking polished through commutes, long office days, or after sitting — the texture acts as a built-in wrinkle guard.

Value compared to similar wide-leg pants

Old Navy’s High-Waisted Playa Wide-Leg Pant (regular CA$44.99) is a basic drapey twill viscose pull-on with no textural finish or pleating; the Contemporaine’s $89.95 sale price essentially doubles the cost but upgrades the wearer to a hammered texture, waist pleats, and partial ECOVERO content, making it a tangible step from fast-fashion to considered design.
A matching blazer sold separately extends the pant into a relaxed suit, effectively halving the per-piece cost of a typical contemporary viscose-blend suit and turning the pant into part of a cohesive outfit rather than an isolated purchase.
At its sale price of $89.95 CAD, the Contemporaine pant costs roughly equivalent to Monsoon London’s $84 USD plain 100% LENZING ECOVERO wide-leg trouser, but differentiates itself with four sewn waist pleats and a delicate hammered surface texture — details the Monsoon trouser lacks.
