Product Insights
A wide-leg, high-rise pant in textured crepe that offers wrinkle resistance, subtle stretch, and a matte, light-scattering finish—ideal for office-to-warm-weather versatility—but requires sizing up for waist comfort, lacks belt loops, and demands attention to color-specific issues: brown may develop permanent creases, navy runs lighter, and shorter wearers will need hemming.
- Sizing
Size up for waist comfort; no belt loops for adjustment.
Why this is supported
Multiple reviews indicate that the front waistband is structured and the back elastic waistband can run snug, leading many buyers to recommend ordering a size up for a more comfortable fit. Additionally, the pants lack belt loops, so the waist fit is fixed after purchase. This sizing advice is consistently reported across reviews and Q&A responses.
- Dimensions
12-inch rise and 32.5-inch inseam; those under 5 feet 5 inches may need hemming.
Why this is supported
According to the primary fact sheet, the pants (size 4) have a 12-inch front rise and a 32.5-inch inseam. The high rise accommodates average to longer torso lengths, while the long inseam is designed for a floor-skimming look when worn with heels. Reviews and Q&A responses note that buyers under 5 feet 5 inches will likely need to have the pants hemmed to avoid dragging on the floor.
- Fabric performance
Stretch crepe resists wrinkles, adapts to movement; fabric drape varies by color.
Why this is supported
The stretch crepe fabric is engineered to move with the body and resist wrinkles. One customer praised the
nice thick crepe fabric with a bit of stretch so it doesn’t wrinkle
Customer review, April 23, 2025highlighting the adaptive fit and travel-friendly nature. However, a review of the brown version noted
Je reçois le brun avec des plis qui sont restés même après le premier lavage.
Customer review, October 25, 2025indicating that wrinkle resistance may vary between colors. This suggests the fabric drape and crease behavior are not uniform across the color options.
- Texture
Pebbled crepe surface scatters light and hides wrinkles for a matte look.
Why this is supported
The fabric's surface is a pebbled crepe weave. Deep research describes it as a surface that
scatters light and hides wrinkles
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — pebbled_crepe_surface, resulting in a refined matte finish that stays polished throughout long wear.
- Stretch
2–5% crosswise stretch prevents fly puckering and adds comfort.
Why this is supported
The fabric incorporates a crosswise elastane content yielding 2–5% stretch. This specific engineering
, a functionality seconded by customer reviews that note the fabric has
a bit of stretch so it doesn’t wrinkle
Customer review, April 23, 2025.
- Wrinkle resistance
Naturally wrinkle-resistant; some colors may have creases after washing.
Why this is supported
The polyester crepe's construction makes it naturally wrinkle-resistant. Deep research explains that
Polyester's hydrophobic nature and the crepe's twisted yarn structure make the fabric naturally wrinkle-resistant
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — travel_ready_wrinkle_resistanceHowever, a customer report for the brown color variant states:
Je reçois le brun avec des plis qui sont restés même après le premier lavage.
Customer review, October 25, 2025This caveat suggests color-dependent performance, so buyers should consider that wrinkle resistance may vary by color.
- Belt loops
No belt loops are included on the waistband.
Why this is supported
Product images and description confirm the pants have no belt loops, a design choice that maintains the clean high-rise silhouette but eliminates the ability to cinch the waist with a belt or add a belt accessory.
- Occasion versatility
Matching blazer for office; sandals for warm-weather events.
Why this is supported
Buyers call the matching blazer a
Must have staple
Customer review, April 23, 2025and note the pants
look so smart with either heels or sandals
Customer review, May 29, 2025, confirming they work both in office and warm-weather settings.
- Fit
High rise, elastic back waist fits hourglass and heel wearers; no belt loops.
Why this is supported
The high-rise, wide-leg silhouette with an elastic back waist accommodates hourglass figures without gaping at the waist or pulling at the hips. The 32.5-inch inseam creates a floor-skimming hem that suits heel wearers, though shorter buyers may need hemming. The absence of belt loops maintains a clean front line but precludes belt accessorizing. These fit features add comfort and versatility for long wear.
- Color consistency
Buyers report navy is lighter, brown retains creases after washing.
Why this is supported
Some buyers note that the navy version feels lighter and less substantial than expected. A customer review of the brown color states:
Je reçois le brun avec des plis qui sont restés même après le premier lavage.
Customer review, October 25, 2025This indicates that fabric consistency may vary by color.
- Color variation
Brown may develop permanent creases; black and blue remain wrinkle-free.
Why this is supported
Customer reviews reveal varying performance across colors. A review for blue notes,
bleu que j'adore car il est infroissable.
Customer review, October 25, 2025In contrast, the brown variant has been reported to develop permanent creases that even washing cannot resolve. For black, the fabric analysis shows that
The pebbled surface of crepe fabric, produced by tightly twisted yarns that contract after weaving, scatters light and hides wrinkles — so the black Moderne pant reads as a refined matte texture rather than a shiny synthetic, maintaining a polished look even after hours of sitting.
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — pebbled_crepe_surfaceAdditionally, the navy color's thinner fabric may exhibit reduced wrinkle resistance compared to the thicker crepe in other colors.
- Fabric feel
58% recycled polyester feels and drapes like virgin polyester.
Why this is supported
Deep research confirms that the 58% recycled polyester
behaves identically to virgin polyester in terms of handfeel, colorfastness, and resilience
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — recycled_polyester_yarns, and that the crepe's twisted yarn structure makes it
naturally wrinkle-resistant
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — travel_ready_wrinkle_resistance. The midweight crepe
has enough body to stand slightly away from the legs for a clean wide-leg silhouette
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — thick_fluid_drape, and the pebbled surface gives the black color
a refined matte texture rather than a shiny synthetic
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — pebbled_crepe_surface.
Deep research confirms the fabric's thick fluid drape, noting it as
avoiding the boxy, tent-like effect that can plague lighter, crisper fabrics.
How the textured crepe fabric feels and drapes — thick_fluid_drapeThe recycled polyester component, which constitutes 58% of the blend,
, allowing the crepe to remain thick and fluid without sacrificing sustainability. Customer feedback also notes that the fabric drapes generously over hips, confirming its curve-friendly nature.
- Fabric durability
Recycled polyester and stretch recovery keep shape over time.
Why this is supported
The recycled polyester yarns match the performance of conventional polyester in handfeel and resilience. A slight stretch content allows the fabric to flex without sagging and recover its shape, preserving the tailored silhouette.

Pantalon impeccable
Convient parfaitement à ma silhouette. J’ai une petite taille et des hanches fortes. C’est souvent difficile à trouver un pantalon qui m’habille bien.

Love these pants!
Substantial fabric, but flowy, as I was hoping. Quite long, just like the online photos. I love the deep rich red. These are perfect for the holidays!
Très bonne qualité
Le pantalon tombe super bien! Et service de couturière gratuit en magasin pour les ajustements. J’adore!
Parfait
Il taille super bien.
Great pant
Would recomend
Great fit
Having read the reviews I went with the larger size (I’m between a 10-12) and the elastic allows it to fit perfectly in the waist. They are quite long which is a nice change. I am 5’8”.
Trop long
ll va falloir me faire raccourcir ce pantalon par un tailleur, d'autres frais imprévus.
en plein ce que je voulais
beau tissu, bonne coupe, bonne longueur…. . que demander de plus ?
good fit, but
i liked the fit of these pants, and were long enough for me. I did not like the material. So I returned the pants
Une coupe très flatteuse
Depuis longtemps, je recherchais un pantalon à taille haute et jambe large et j’ai enfin trouvé celui-ci ! La coupe est flatteuse puisqu’il n’y a pas de plis. Le tissus est confortable et parfait pour toutes les saisons. Je l’aime tellement que j’ai acheté toutes les couleurs. Encore plus surprenant, le pantalon de couleur ivoire est opaque.
Pantalon blanc crepe
tres belle coupe, fait parfaitement
Classic look, very comfortable
Love the colour for spring/summer. Legs are a bit wider than I was looking for but they’re very comfortable and look so smart with either heels or sandals.

Bien mais un peu grand peut-être
Une belle coupe !
La longue du pantalon est bien avec une talon de 1 pouce et demi, sans besoin de raccourcir !
Oui mais plutôt chic

Joli pantalon, confortable. La grandeur est « true to size » assez long pour les grandes jambes.
Très bien
Le seule chose aimerez et capable mettre une ceinture il a pas ganses
Wonderful trousers
The crepe fabric drapes beautifully, and all the colours are lovely. I purchased 2 pair in brown and burgundy. These are very comfortable especially with the concealed elastic in the back waistband. I gravitate to high rise which best suits my physique, and the faux welt rear pockets are great which will always look smooth. I am usually a size 8, but I debated between the 8 and 10. Ultimately I preferred the fit around the tummy in the size 10, and will be simple to alter in the future if need be. Very versatile, and suitable to dress up or down. Highly recommend.
Belle coupe
Le tissu est confortable et la tenue est parfaite. Cependant le pantalon est serré à la taille malgré le fait qu’il y a un bandeau arrière élastique. Normalement je porte du huit, et j’ai dû prendre un 10 et même à cette grandeur il est un peu serré à la taille.
Oui mais. . .
J'aime beaucoup la coupe et la couleur mais. . . j'ai acheté auparavent le même pantalon mais bleu que j'adore car il est infroissable. Je reçois le brun avec des plis qui sont restés même après le premier lavage.
Very nice fabric
I love this pant. It has a nice thick crepe fabric with a bit of stretch so it doesn’t wrinkle. The cut is perfect with a wider leg and nice high waist. Was impressed. I bought the matching blazer and the short to coordinate. Must have staple.
Nice color and drape
Color was true navy, did not like the style for my body type or the feel of the fabric (too light)
