Ashlowe - Ribbed Knit Wide Leg Pants
Ashlowe - Ribbed Knit Wide Leg Pants
Wide leg pants knitted in a fine rib, with an elasticated waist and no fastening.
A knitted trouser sits somewhere between a legging and a tailored pant. It has the give of one and the line of the other, which is why it ends up worn far more often than either.
Why these knit pants?
- Fine rib: the vertical rib runs the length of the leg, which draws the line down instead of across.
- Wide leg: the leg opens from the knee, so the rib falls straight rather than following the calf.
- Elasticated waist: a flat knitted band that sits at the natural waist without a seam or a zip to show through a top.
- Viscose blend: the yarn has drape rather than bounce, so the leg hangs instead of springing back.
- Pull-on: no zip, no button, nothing to sit against the stomach when you are seated.
Ideal for:
Women who want the comfort of a knit without it reading as leisurewear. These work with a shirt tucked in and with a long cardigan over the top.
Are they see-through?
No. The rib is knitted at a mid gauge and holds its opacity when stretched over the seat.
Where does the hem fall?
At the ankle on an average height. On a taller frame they sit just above it, which the wide leg carries well.
Do they bag at the knee?
The viscose blend recovers between wears. Drying flat rather than hanging keeps the leg length as it was cut.
