Long culottes with elastic waist and drawstring

• A deliberately oversized leg — it hangs like a skirt when you stand still and turns back into trousers as soon as you move.
• Fully elasticated waist — the waist adapts by 10 cm in each size: the garment follows you, not the other way round.
• Tie drawstring — it cinches the waist above the elastic and doubles as a belt.
• Two side pockets — hidden in the seams, they don't break the line.

• Long culottes, very wide leg
• Gathered elastic waist, tie drawstring
• Two side pockets
• Cold wash, air dry, cool iron

Sizes follow Asian sizing, which runs smaller than French sizes. Go by the measurements below rather than the letter, and if in doubt, take the size up.

Size conversions and how to measure: see our women's size guide.

These figures are for the garment laid flat, taken from the manufacturer's chart — they are not body measurements. Measure a pair of trousers you already wear and compare: it is the only method that never gets it wrong.

The waist range comes from the elastic: the first figure is the waist relaxed, the second the comfortable stretch.
