Vela – High-Waisted Wide-Leg Trousers

A Defined Waist, With Room To Move

Some pants make you think about your middle all day. These don't.

Vela sits high and holds at the waist, then falls long and loose from the hip.

The waist stays snug while the leg skims, so you get shape without anything clinging.

Pair them with flats for errands or heels for dinner — they look put-together either way.

Inseam runs 28 to 29 inches, so the leg falls long over flats.

A Defined Waist, With Room To Move

✓ A waist that stays put all day
The high rise sits at your natural waist and stays there. No tugging, no rolling down when you sit.

✓ Skims your shape instead of hugging it
The wide leg falls straight from the hip. Nothing grips your thighs or pulls across the seat.

✓ No ironing after a long drive
Smooth polyester resists wrinkles, so they look the same at 6pm as they did at 8am.

✓ Dresses up or down in seconds
Three colors, all easy to style. Flats and a tee for daytime, heels and a blouse for dinner.

✓ Light enough for all-day wear
Lightweight polyester with a soft drape. It moves with you instead of sitting stiff against your legs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear these with flats, or do I need heels?
Both work. The inseam runs 28 to 29 inches depending on size, so the leg falls long over flats without dragging. Heels give you a longer line if you want one.

Do these wrinkle in a suitcase?
The polyester resists creasing well. Fold them along the leg seam and hang them up when you arrive — most wrinkles drop out on their own.

Is there a pocket?
Check the product images for the exact style you're ordering, as pocket details vary by colorway.

How do I pick between two sizes?
Measure your waist and match it to the chart. If you land between two sizes, go with the larger one for a more relaxed fit through the hip.
