Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back for the same reason: the modal fabric is “buttery soft,” drapes beautifully, and somehow manages to look dressy while feeling like loungewear. The pleated front and wide-leg cut get called out as especially flattering—skimming the body rather than clinging—so people wear them everywhere from workdays to dinners to long-haul flights. The only consistent caveat is length and sizing: many say they’re on the long side and a noticeable chunk recommend sizing down.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft/modal fabric that feels “luxurious” and comfortable against the skin
  • Versatility: easy to dress up for work/dinner or down for weekends/lounging
  • Flattering drape and wide-leg cut that “skims” and doesn’t hug or cling
  • Pleated front/flat front finish that elevates the look and flatters the tummy
  • Travel-friendly comfort for flights and holidays (minimal packing, wear multiple ways)

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Workwear when you need to look smart/corporate but want all-day comfort
  • Travel days and long flights (easy, comfy, and packable wardrobe staple)
  • Smart-casual weekends: shops, brunch, “out and about” without feeling sloppy
  • People who want a flattering, non-cling fit (including those mentioning a “mum tum” or wanting more drape/less cling)
  • Day-to-night plans (office to restaurant/event) where you don’t want to change

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric repeatedly described as “soft,” “silky,” “luxurious,” and “heavier than expected” in a good way for drape
  • “Wash well” feedback appears, with one recurring note that they can take a long time to dry
  • Functional details people notice: “decent sized pockets,” pleats, and a comfortable waistband setup (including mention of half elastic at the back and a flat front finish)

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: mixed: many say true to size, but a significant number report they run large and recommend sizing down

A strong cluster of reviews says sizing is “spot on/true to size,” while several specifically advise going down a size (especially if you’re between sizes) for a more flattering fit. Length is a repeat topic: multiple customers (including 5'4"/shorter shoppers and those wearing flats) needed a simple hem/take-up, while taller customers (around 175 cm) often found the length perfect. Some note a slightly loose waist when choosing a size for extra drape.

What Customers Say

  • "“Looks put together but feels like you’re wearing your comfiest pjs.”"
  • "“Feels like im wearing my pyjamas at the office.”"
  • "“Legit haven't taken these off since I got them, oops. They're a dream”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Do these pants run true to size, or should I size down?

Most reviewers say the fit is true to size, but a noticeable group found they run a bit large and were happier after sizing down (especially if between sizes). Several customers specifically mention swapping down a size (e.g., L to M, 10–12 down to the smaller size) for a more flattering drape. If you prefer a looser, flowy look you can stick with your usual size; if you want a neater fit at the waist/hips, consider sizing down.

Based on 12 customer reviews
Are these wide-leg pants too long if I’m not tall?

Length is a common topic: several reviewers (including 5'4" / 165 cm customers) said they were a little long and chose to hem them, especially if wearing flats. Taller customers (around 175 cm) often say the length is perfect, while shorter buyers typically needed a small take-up (sometimes just the width of the cuff). If you’re petite or plan to wear flat shoes, expect you may need minor hemming.

Based on 10 customer reviews
What’s the waistband like—does it sit flat, and is it comfortable around the tummy?

Several reviewers like the front waistband because it sits flat and looks smooth across the stomach, and one reviewer specifically mentions the half-elastic at the back as comfortable. People also note the pleats are flattering and help the pants drape rather than cling. One customer did mention preferring a wider waistband, so if you like very wide waistbands, this may feel narrower than expected.

Based on 4 customer reviews

Comfort

Are they comfortable enough to wear all day (like to the office or for long travel days)?

Yes—comfort is the most repeated theme, with many customers saying they feel like “pyjamas” while still looking polished. Reviewers report wearing them all day and night, and many bought them specifically for flights and overseas trips because they’re soft, stretchy, and easy to move in. People also mention they work well for busy workdays (health practitioners, physio/pilates settings) where comfort matters.

Based on 22 customer reviews
Are these pants flattering if I carry weight around my tummy or prefer less cling?

Many reviewers call the fit “flattering,” and a few give specific reasons: the pleats, the drape, and the waistband shape that sits flat at the front. Customers mention the fabric skims rather than hugs, and one reviewer with a “mum tum” said choosing the smaller size still gave plenty of flow and stretch. Another plus-size reviewer chose a larger size for more drape/less cling and found it fit beautifully (though a bit loose in the waist).

Based on 6 customer reviews

Material & Quality

Is the fabric actually soft and does it drape nicely, or does it cling?

Reviewers consistently describe the modal fabric as “buttery soft,” “luxurious,” and “silky,” with a flattering drape. Multiple customers note it skims the body and doesn’t hug or feel clingy, which helps it look dressy while still feeling relaxed. A few also mention the fabric has good “flowiness” and sits beautifully when you walk.

Based on 20 customer reviews
Are they heavy or lightweight—will they work in warm weather?

Reviews describe the fabric both as light/cool and as a bit heavier than expected, suggesting it has more substance while still being breathable. Some customers found them “cool for hotter climates,” while others liked the slightly heavier weight for travel and how it helps the pants hang well. Overall, reviewers generally report they’re comfortable across a range of temperatures.

Based on 6 customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Can I dress these up for work, or are they more like lounge pants?

Many reviewers wear them to the office and describe them as “corporate enough” while still extremely comfortable. The pleats and drape help them look put-together for meetings, events, or dinner, and they can also be dressed down for weekends. Several customers specifically mention styling them with heels/sandals for a more elegant look or sneakers for casual/travel.

Based on 18 customer reviews

Performance

Are they good travel pants (flights, packing light, different climates)?

Yes—travel use comes up repeatedly, with customers buying them for long flights and overseas trips because they’re comfortable, versatile, and easy to re-style. Some reviewers mention they work across temperatures and are suitable for hotter climates, while others like that the fabric feels a bit heavier than expected (in a good way) for travel. If you pack minimally, reviewers say these work for both casual days and smarter dinners.

Based on 12 customer reviews
Do these pants have pockets, and are they actually usable?

Yes—multiple reviewers call out the pockets positively, describing them as “decent sized” and “good.” Customers also mention the overall design details (pleat front and waistband) along with pockets as part of why the pants work for everyday wear and workwear.

Based on 4 customer reviews
Can I wear these for yoga or Pilates, or are they mainly for going out?

Several customers mention using them for yoga and Pilates as well as everyday wear. The stretch, softness, and wide-leg comfort make them suitable for gentle movement, while the polished look means you can still wear them straight to errands or casual outings. For more intense workouts, reviewers don’t provide details, but for yoga/pilates they’re repeatedly praised.

Based on 3 customer reviews

Care & Maintenance

Do they wash well, and do they take long to dry?

A few reviewers say they “wash well” and are easy-care, which is a plus for frequent wear and travel. One recurring caution is drying time: at least one reviewer specifically notes they take quite a long time to dry. If you’re planning to wash them on the go, allow extra drying time compared with quicker-dry fabrics.

Pleat  Front Wide Leg Pants - Cherry
Cherry wide leg pants are just beautiful. I bought the wrap front top previously so can now wear them as a set. The modal fabric is soft & drapes well. I would give them 5 stars but I find them too long so will need to take them up.

I haven’t worn them yet but tried them on and they feel amazing. Super soft, silky and flattering. Very happy to have them for upcoming travel. They’re a tiny bit long and could need to be taken up as I’ll be wearing them with flats.

    Disappointed

    Thought I ordered the Nomad pants. When I realized I’d made a mistake and ordered the wrong style ( I did so before delivery) I contacted customer service explaining my error. I was told that there was nothing that could be done as there was no exchange on the sale items. Fair enough- it was in black and white so I couldn’t argue. Could only hope there might be a bit of flexibility because I hadn’t received the parcel yet. I’d ordered Nomads because I had tried a friend’s and they were perfect. Would never deliberately order something with a pleat on hip - wrong shape for my body type. Sure enough, they arrived and don’t fit me well at all. I’m disappointed that I was silly enough to order something late at night and got the order wrong.. Also disappointed I didn’t get the Nomad pants which I really liked and disappointed that the company was unable to show more flexibility given I hadn’t received the delivery when I notified them. Still, I’ll give them two points because the fabric is nice and the unhelpful email from customer service was polite and acknowledged my disappointment was justified.
