The Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants deliver the wide-leg silhouette that's been central to fashion for the last several seasons without the excessive volume that makes some wide-leg styles look like they're wearing the wearer. The cut is architectural: high waist to create leg length, generous leg width from hip to hem for the fluid drape effect, and a hem that falls at a length designed for wearing with a modest heel. Available in Black, Green.

- Comes in Black, Green — each colorway has distinct styling potential depending on how casual or elevated you want the outfit to read
Fit & Sizing
Size to your hip measurement — the waist is secondary because the silhouette is relaxed by design. Length matters more with a wide leg than with any other cut: the hem needs to reach at or near the floor for the proportions to work. At a standard inseam, this style works for most people 5'5" and above with a flat shoe; shorter frames may need either a heel or a hem taken up 4–5cm. If you're ordering to wear flat, factor in the hem when choosing. Sizes: XS, S, M, L.
How to Style
The wide leg cut needs length at the hem to work — it should reach at or near the top of the foot. A fitted or cropped top is essential: a long or loose top with wide-leg pants shortens the torso and creates a boxy silhouette. For petite frames, a heel helps — even 4–5cm adds the length the style needs. For taller frames, the cut works with flat shoes if the hem is long enough. Keep accessories minimal and in a single metal tone to avoid competing with the strong silhouette.
Fabric & Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle — this is the single most important step for extending the life of any fashion fabric. Avoid high-heat tumble drying for the first 5–10 washes, which is when colour and fibre integrity are most vulnerable. Turn inside-out before washing to protect the outer face from friction and uneven fading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy
Wide leg pants often look different in person — how do I size the Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants correctly? +
Size to your hip measurement — the waist is less critical because the silhouette is relaxed by design. The length matters more than you'd think: wide leg pants need the hem to reach at or just above the floor to look intentional rather than cut-off. At a standard inseam length these work well for women 5'5" and above with flat shoes; shorter frames typically need either a heel or a simple hem taken up 4–5cm. If you're ordering to wear flat, factor in the hem when choosing.
The Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants are non-stretch cotton — how do they feel after a long day of wear? +
Non-stretch cotton has a structured, slightly board-like feel when new that softens significantly after 2–3 wears and washes. By the end of the first week the fibers relax and the fabric drapes against the body rather than holding its shape away from it. What non-stretch cotton does well that stretch blends can't match: it holds the cut of the pant through a full day without sagging at the knee or seat.
Do the flap pockets on the Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants add visible bulk to the hips and thighs? +
When empty, the flap pockets lie flat against the thigh — they don't create visible volume or silhouette distortion. When loaded with a phone and wallet the pocket will have some dimension, but because the flap covers the opening, it reads as structured rather than lumpy. The pocket placement at mid-thigh rather than the hip means the visual weight sits below the widest point of the body, which actually works in favour of most silhouettes.
Will the Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants shrink in the wash, and how do I prevent it? +
Cold wash on a gentle cycle and line dry: shrinkage is 0–1% and undetectable in practice. The risk is machine drying on high heat — non-stretch cotton can lose up to a full size in the waist after five cycles of hot-wash-plus-high-heat drying. A single warm wash won't cause noticeable shrinkage and can actually help break in the fabric faster if the stiffness of new cotton bothers you. Turn them inside-out before washing to protect the outer surface and prevent uneven fading in darker colours.
Do the Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants work for petite frames or do wide legs overwhelm a shorter height? +
Wide leg works for petite frames when the length is right — the hem needs to reach the top of the foot for the silhouette to elongate rather than cut the leg. At 5'2" with flat shoes this typically means hemming 4–6cm off the bottom. With a 5–7cm heel the same pants work without alteration. The other essential: a fitted or cropped top tucked in. Wearing a long or oversized top with wide leg pants shortens the torso and makes a petite frame look boxier.
Are the Low Rise Flap Pocket Wide Leg Cargo Pants long enough for taller frames — do they hit the right length at 5'8"+? +
At 5'8" the standard inseam on most styles hits just at or slightly above the ankle, which reads as a deliberate cropped length rather than too-short. At 5'10"+ there's usually a 3–5cm gap between the hem and the floor, which looks intentional in wide-leg or jogger styles but can look abruptly short in straight-leg or formal styles. The practical answer: check the listed inseam length against your body measurement (floor to hip) minus the rise, and if the result is under your inseam length, the pants will work.
