The wide leg pants for long legs and warm mornings

Check price on Amazon Opens Amazon.com · affiliate link

These wide leg pants come in four inseams, 30, 32, 34 and 36 inches, so the hem is meant to land where it should on a taller frame. The fabric is 70% rayon and 30% linen, with an elastic waist and a drawstring, which makes them an easy pull on piece for warm weather.

The part of this listing that matters most is the length. The inseam comes in 30, 32, 34 and 36 inches, and the seller pairs each with a height. The 30 inch is listed for 5 ft 4 in to 5 ft 8 in, the 32 inch for 5 ft 8 in to 5 ft 10 in, the 34 inch for 5 ft 11 in to 6 ft 4 in, and the 36 inch for anyone above 6 ft 4 in. Those ranges come from the seller, so if you sit on the line between two of them, it is worth checking your own measurement against the inseam before ordering.

The fabric is 70% rayon and 30% linen. The listing calls it a linen blend, but rayon is the larger share, so expect the drape that rayon gives more than the crisp texture of pure linen. The listing describes it as lightweight, soft and airy. It does not state a fabric weight or say whether the pants are lined, so how sheer they are in light colors is not something the material answers. Care is machine wash, with no temperature given.

The cut is a high waist palazzo with a smocked elastic waistband and an adjustable drawstring, and they pull on. There are two deep front pockets and two back pockets. Whether the wide leg shape suits you is a matter of taste, not measurement.
