Product Insights
Soft stretch fabric is 67% recycled-plastic-bottle polyester, 29% rayon and 4% spandex. Elastic back waistband gives comfort and a flexible fit while keeping the front flat and smooth. Wide-leg high-rise cut fits differently across body types; some report a perfect fit while others return because it doesn't suit them. Full-length wide leg reaches the floor and pools slightly over shoes, so hem length matters for the intended look. At 125 CAD with flat pricing across sizes 0–16, the pant offers inclusive sizing and recycled-material content at a mid-range price. Tailored details include belt loops, zip fly, side slant pockets, trompe-l'oeil sewn piped back pockets and a pressed front crease.
Verified claims
- fit
- Wide-leg high-rise cut fits differently across body types; some report a perfect fit while others return because it doesn't suit them.
- sizing
- Offered in even sizes 0 through 16; shoppers who normally wear an odd size must round to a neighbouring label.
- length
- 32-inch inseam on size 4 is a finished measurement; shortening to a 28-inch inseam removes about 4 inches from the hem while keeping the wide-leg proportion.
- comfort
- Elastic back waistband gives comfort and a flexible fit while keeping the front flat and smooth.
- materials
- Soft stretch fabric is 67% recycled-plastic-bottle polyester, 29% rayon and 4% spandex.
- fabric behavior
- Rayon gives the fabric a soft, fluid drape; polyester adds strength and wrinkle resistance, and 4% spandex provides modest two-way stretch.
- sustainability
- Recycled polyester content gives a second life to plastic bottles without significantly reducing breathability compared with virgin polyester in tested fabrics.
- care
- Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, do not bleach, hang to dry and do not tumble dry; wash dark colours separately.
- care
- If ironing is needed, use a low iron inside out; steam may be used.
- fabric care
- With 29% rayon, some creasing after wear is likely; hanging to dry and a light steam will relax most of it.
- quality
- Construction earns strong praise, with reviewers calling it 'very well made' and 'beautiful'; fabric quality is praised even by a reviewer who returned for fit.
- construction
- Tailored details include belt loops, zip fly, side slant pockets, trompe-l'oeil sewn piped back pockets and a pressed front crease.
- pockets
- Side slant pockets are functional cut-in pockets that can pull open on narrow hips; the back piped pockets are trompe-l'oeil sewn detail, not usable pockets.
- styling
- Small-scale check in tan, black and off-white reads polished; the wide-leg high-rise silhouette works with tucked shirts and heels.
- uses
- Suitable for office or smart-casual wear when styled with a tucked shirt and structured shoe.
- length
- Full-length wide leg reaches the floor and pools slightly over shoes, so hem length matters for the intended look.
- value
- At 125 CAD with flat pricing across sizes 0–16, the pant offers inclusive sizing and recycled-material content at a mid-range price.
- variants
- Available only in Patterned Ecru across nine sizes, all in stock at the same price.
- quality check
- Check pattern should be matched at centre back and side seams; fold a leg along its crease to check grain and avoid leg twist after washing.

On-trend wide-leg silhouette for everyday outfits
Pair these checked wide-leg pants with a tucked-in top for an on-trend high-rise look. The high waist sits at a wide-leg cut for a flattering, trendy silhouette, while an elastic waist at the back keeps them comfortable. Side slant pockets and a zip fly round out the design.[1]
Comfortable pull-together pants for all-day wear
Merchant copy positions the Moderne pant as combining comfort with a flattering wide-leg silhouette, thanks to a high rise with an elastic waist at the back and soft stretch fabric. A good pick when you want pants that feel easy to wear but still look polished. Features include belt loops, a zip fly, and side slant pockets.[1]
A polished tucked-in look with heels
These wide-leg, high-rise checked pants are shown styled with a tucked-in long-sleeve blouse or button-up shirt, which sits cleanly against the defined natural-waist waistband. In the product images, the hems fall to the floor and pool slightly or partially cover pointed-toe heels, so the muted small-scale check in tan, black, and white works as the base of a dressed-up outfit.[2,3,4]
Notes on the Wide Leg, High Rise Fit
The Moderne Sophisticated Checks Pant is offered in sizes zero through sixteen. Although some users report a perfect fit, reviews indicate that the high-rise/wide-leg cut can run inconsistent across body types, leading some customers to return the item.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Moderne Sophisticated Checks Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a comfortable high-rise wide-leg pant with a flattering, trendy silhouette, featuring an elastic back waist, soft stretch fabric, and a muted small-check pattern in Patterned Ecru. Its polyester-spandex blend (with recycled content) and full-length, floor-grazing cut on a 32-inch inseam suit dressier occasions. Note that reviews analysis indicates fit can run inconsistent across body types, so some shoppers needed to size differently or return.[1,4] | Moderne Textured Crepe Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a dressy wide-leg, high-rise pant with an elastic waist at the back — reviewers say the cut and concealed elastic work especially well for hourglass and curvy figures with narrow waists and full hips, and it pairs with a matching blazer for office suiting or with sandals for warm-weather events. The substantial crepe feels soft, drapes well, and resists wrinkles in most colors, though a brown batch arrived with stubborn creases and some found the navy fabric too light. Note the waistband runs snug (many size up), there are no belt loops, and the roughly 32.5 inch inseam is cut long by design, so shorter wearers will likely need hemming.[5] | Floral Sketches Satiny Pant Fit: Wide Leg, High Rise: Choose this if you want a very loose, flowing wide-leg palazzo pant in stretchy, flowy satin with an elasticized waist and high rise. It suits anyone drawn to a bold look: an all-over large black-and-white floral sketch print on a mustard-yellow (listed as Patterned Green) base, with slant side pockets and half of the polyester content made from recycled plastic bottles. Note the floor-grazing cut — the hem sits at the floor and can pool slightly or cover your shoes — with a 29.5 inch inseam and 12.5 inch front rise in size small.[6,7,8,9] |
