Choosing the fit: The trouser fabric does not stretch; comfort mainly comes from the wide straight cut and the elastic waistband with a drawstring. If you are close to a size boundary or have a fuller lower abdomen or hips, compare your waist and hip measurements and avoid a fit that is too snug. If you are between two sizes, prioritise the larger size for more room at the waist and through the legs when sitting.

Does this style suit the way you want to wear trousers?

• You like wide straight legs that do not closely hug the thighs or calves.
• You like black trousers with white stripes that are easy to style for work, school or going out.
• You want an elastic waistband and a drawstring for easy adjustment.
• You like pairing the black-and-white stripe pattern with simple black, white or cream tops for a neat, coordinated look.

Why consider this waistband design?

Because the trouser fabric does not stretch, the elastic waistband and drawstring give you more control over the waist fit instead of relying on the trouser fabric to loosen.

For work or school: Pair with a plain T-shirt, a soft shirt or a blouse in black, white or cream. Tuck it in lightly or choose a hip-length top so the upper half does not look baggy.

For outings or cafés: Pair with a waist-length crop top, a camisole with a light jacket or a shorter blouse to balance the width of the trousers.

For everyday wear: Trainers, light-soled sandals or platform slides all work. If you are shorter than about 1m55, consider shoes with some sole height or having the hems altered so the legs fall more neatly.

• The cut has wide straight legs . Consider carefully if you want stretch in the trouser fabric: QD028 does not stretch through the body.
• Although the elastic waistband and drawstring allow adjustment, compare your waist and hip measurements and avoid choosing a fit that is too snug if you are close to a size boundary.
• Take extra care if your lower abdomen or hips are often close to a size boundary. If you are between two sizes, prioritise the larger size for more room at the waist and through the legs when sitting.
• If you are shorter than about 1m55 and often need full-length trousers hemmed, check the length on arrival and consider alterations if the hems touch the ground or bunch too much around your shoes.

QD028: wide straight legs, clear vertical stripes and an adjustable waist. Consider this style if you want full-length plus-size trousers that do not hug the legs, with an elastic waistband, drawstring and black-and-white stripe pattern that works with a range of outfits. Prioritise checking your waist and hip measurements if you are close to a size boundary.

Which fit can I use as a reference at 70kg?

The listing gives a reference of 1m60, 70kg and size XL. If your waist or hip measurements differ from that reference fit, prioritise comparing those measurements rather than relying on weight alone.

Does the trouser fabric stretch?

The trouser fabric does not stretch. The stretch is in the inner waistband, and the drawstring also lets you adjust the waist fit.

What should I consider if I have a fuller lower abdomen or hips?

Do not choose a fit that is too snug based on weight alone. Compare your waist and hip measurements; if you are between two sizes, prioritise the larger size for more room at the waist and through the legs when sitting.

What if I am shorter than about 1m55?

Check the trouser length on arrival and consider having the hems altered if they touch the ground or bunch too much around your shoes.
