Description

Pinstripe suiting trousers with a high waist finished by an adjustable D-ring buckle tab at the front, deep fanning pleats, and a dramatically wide leg that falls closer to a skirt's volume than a standard trouser. The fine pinstripe running through the suiting fabric adds a classic tailored reference, while the fan pleats and buckle tab bring a directional, modern edge to the high-waist silhouette. Wear them with a fitted top tucked in to show off the waist and buckle detail, and let the wide leg move freely with each step rather than pairing them with anything equally voluminous on top.

Composition & Care

A structured pinstripe suiting fabric with enough body to hold the fan pleats at the waist and let the wide leg swing freely rather than clinging. Dry clean recommended to protect the pinstripe finish and pleat structure; if machine washing, use cold water on a gentle cycle and press pleats while damp. Hang them on a clipped trouser hanger between wears to keep the fan pleats from flattening, and avoid sitting for long stretches in tightly packed spaces, which can crease the wide leg unevenly.

Delivery & Returns

Free UK delivery. Returns accepted within 30 days if unworn and tagged.

Sustainability

The buckle tab closure is a mechanical D-ring rather than a stitched, permanent fastening, meaning the waistband can be adjusted over time as fit changes instead of the garment being retired for a size mismatch. That adjustability extends the useful life of the trousers well beyond a fixed waistband, which is one small way the design reduces how often a piece like this needs replacing.

People Also Ask

A few things worth knowing before you buy the Striped High-Waist Wide-Leg Trousers — from fit and styling to care and delivery.

How does the buckle tab actually work — is it adjustable?

Yes — the tab threads through a metal D-ring at the front waistband, so you can adjust the waist snugness slightly rather than relying on a fixed button or zip alone. This is especially useful if your waist size fluctuates day to day, since you get a small adjustment range without needing to size up or down.

Is the leg really as wide as a skirt, or does that just show in photos held out?

The pleats do release into serious volume — worn normally the trousers move and swing more like a culotte or skirt than a standard wide-leg trouser, so expect real fabric movement when walking. That movement is part of the appeal, but it's worth keeping in mind around escalators, bikes, or anything with moving parts where extra fabric volume needs a bit more care.

Does the pinstripe run true on both the grey and black versions?

Yes, both colorways use the same fine pinstripe woven into the suiting fabric — the stripe is more visible against the black ground and reads slightly softer against the charcoal grey. If you're choosing between the two mainly for how visible the stripe reads, the black pair gives the sharper, more graphic contrast of the two.
