Wayf Women’s High-Rise Pleated Wide-Leg Pants
We designed these high-rise pleated wide-leg pants to deliver effortless elegance every time you step out the door. The tailored pleats at the front waist create clean vertical lines that elongate your silhouette, while the generous leg opening flows beautifully as you walk. A concealed side zip ensures the waistband sits flat and smooth—no bulky hardware to disrupt the look.
Fabric & fit highlights
Fabric & Construction Details
We chose a mid-weight polyester twill blend for its resilience and drape—it holds the pleats beautifully without wrinkling after a long day. The fabric has just enough body to maintain structure through the waist and hip, then releases into a soft drape at the knee. A full lining through the hip and thigh ensures the pants glide over your skin and sit smoothly under your top.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
True to Size
These pants run true to our standard size chart. If you typically wear a size 6 in our tailored bottoms, order a size 6 here. The high-rise waist is designed to sit one inch above your natural waistline—measure at the narrowest part of your torso for the most accurate fit.

Questions About These High-Rise Pleated Pants
Yes, these pants follow our standard sizing. If you typically wear a size 8 in our bottoms, order a size 8 here. The high-rise waist is designed to sit about an inch above your natural waistline, so measure at the narrowest part of your torso for the best fit. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed drape through the hip.
The full-length inseam measures approximately 32 inches from crotch to hem. This length works beautifully with heels or platform shoes. If you prefer a cropped look, we recommend having them hemmed to hit just above your ankle bone—the wide leg still looks intentional at that length.
We recommend dry cleaning to preserve the pleats and the fabric’s structure. If you need a quick refresh between wears, hang them in a steamy bathroom while you shower—the moisture will gently release minor wrinkles without direct heat exposure.
Yes, both the on-seam side pockets and the single welt pocket at the back are fully functional. The side pockets are deep enough to hold a phone or keys without disrupting the silhouette, and the back pocket is ideal for a slim cardholder.
We currently offer these pants in classic black, ivory, and olive. Black is our most versatile option for year-round wear, while ivory is perfect for spring and summer styling. Olive offers a rich, earthy tone that pairs beautifully with warm neutrals.
No, the pleats are pressed and bar-tacked at the waistband to maintain their shape. The mid-weight twill blend we use holds structure without collapsing, even after hours of wear. With proper care and storage, the pleats will stay crisp season after season.
For the office, tuck in a fitted blouse or silk shell and add pointed-toe pumps to elongate your frame. The high waist and vertical pleats create a streamlined silhouette when paired with something more tailored on top. A structured blazer completes the look for client meetings or presentations.
