Signature Style

Contessa Pant

Cotton/Linen · Butter

Sale

$186.00 ~~Regular price $248.00~~ Final sale

Our newest pant and therefore newest obsession, the Contessa Pants are a barrel shaped pull-on trouser that (like all of our favorites pieces) can be dressed up or down. The unique structure of these high-waisted pants comes together with thoughtful darts at the knees and the ankles. And rest assured—we didn’t forget to add very deep pockets for all of your random-yet-essential essentials.

The fit is very large and generous, so take your usual size for big circus vibes or size down if you prefer something a little more tailored. This 30% linen 70% cotton blend gives you all the breezy summer feels without so much linen wrinkliness.

Which size should I take?

The Contessa is oversized on purpose — big barrel leg, lots of room, exactly the way we like them. If a ton of volume isn't your thing, size down for a more tailored fit.

Our clothes are cut generously on purpose, so the number on the label matters less than the two or three measurements underneath it. Here's everything you need to find your size — and someone to email if you'd rather just ask.

Start with your body

The chart below is body measurements, so measure yourself and find the row you land in. Every product page carries that style's own flat measurements under Fit & feel — that's where you'll see how much room the garment actually adds.

Read this first. Many of our styles are designed relaxed, boxy or oversized, and they're meant to be worn that way. Two sizes can share a chest measurement and still feel completely different on. Check the fit note on the style you're looking at before you decide.

US size	Our size	Chest	Waist	Hips

12-14	XXXL	42–44"107–112 cm	35–37"89–94 cm	46–48"117–122 cm

How to measure

Use a soft tape, keep it level, and don't pull it tight — it should sit against you, not squeeze. It's easiest over a thin top or nothing at all.

Chest

Around the fullest part of your bust, with the tape level across your back and your arms relaxed at your sides.

Waist

Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your navel. Breathe normally.

Hips

Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, with your feet together.

Every style has its own numbers

A size chart is a starting point — the real answer lives on the product page. We measure each style flat and publish the numbers on its own page under Fit & feel: chest, shoulder, length, sleeve, sleeve opening and hem, size by size. If you already own something of ours you love, measure it flat and compare.

Still not sure?

Tell us your measurements and the style you're looking at, and we'll tell you what we'd pick. We answer these ourselves.
