Velvet flare pants with a high waist, in caramel or black. The size run goes S through 5XL — eight sizes, which is as wide as anything in the store.
Flare, not wide leg
Worth being clear about, because the two get confused. A wide-leg trouser is full from the hip all the way down. A flare is close through the thigh and knee and opens out below it. That means a flare follows your shape rather than hiding it, and it needs a shoe with some height, because the widening is calculated to fall over one.
In velvet, that shape is amplified. The pile catches light along the leg, so the flare reads as a deliberate line rather than just extra fabric.
The details
- High waist, sitting at the natural waist for a long leg line.
- Flare leg, fitted to the knee and opening below.
- Velvet in caramel or black.
- Eight sizes, S through 5XL.
How to wear them
- A tucked fitted top — the high waist has to be visible to work.
- A heel or platform. A flare hem looks wrong scraping the floor over a flat.
- A silk cami for evening; a plain sweater for daytime.
- Caramel with cream or brown; black with anything.
Before you order
How do I care for velvet? The one rule that matters: never iron it flat. Heat and pressure crush the pile permanently. Steam it hanging, and hang rather than fold to store.
Do I need heels? The shape is designed around them. If you live in flats, a wide-leg trouser will suit you better than a flare.
Is velvet only for evening? The caramel pair works in daylight with a plain knit. Black velvet leans dressier.
