How do The Prepster Plaid Trousers fit? Are they true to size?

Great question! The Prepster Plaid Trousers are designed with a relaxed, wide barrel-leg fit and a comfortable drawstring waist. Most shoppers find they run true to size—if you prefer a looser or more casual look, you might consider sizing up. For reference, our model Annetta is 5'7" with a 28" waist and 39" hips and wears a size M. If you’re between sizes, the adjustable waistband gives you flexibility.

What fabric are these plaid trousers made from? Are they comfortable for daily wear?

These trousers are crafted from a soft, breathable blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, making them comfortable for all-day wear. The washed denim material offers a gentle feel against your skin, while the caramel plaid accents add a stylish twist. They’re lightweight enough for layering in the fall but sturdy enough to hold their shape throughout busy days.

How do I care for my Prepster Plaid Trousers?

Caring for these trousers is a breeze! They’re machine washable—just turn them inside out, use cold water, and wash with similar colors. To preserve the quality and the caramel accents, we recommend air drying or tumble drying on low. No special care needed, so you can wear and wash them as often as you like without worry.

Can I dress these plaid trousers up for work or style them casually?

Absolutely! The Prepster Plaid Trousers are designed for ultimate versatility. Pair them with a crisp blouse and loafers to create a polished look for the office, or throw on a cozy sweater and sneakers for weekends. The modern cropped length and statement plaid pattern ensure that you’ll stand out whether you’re dressing up or down.

What is your return policy if the trousers don’t fit or aren’t right for me?

No worries! We offer hassle-free returns on all purchases. If the Prepster Plaid Trousers don’t fit or don’t feel right, just refer to our Return Policy for details—getting started is quick and simple. Shop confidently knowing you can try them on at home and send them back if they’re not perfect for you.

Product Info

As the late summer sun casts a golden glow and our minds turn to the crisp days of autumn, a certain nostalgia for classic, academic style returns. These plaid trousers are the perfect embodiment of that feeling—a sophisticated, preppy staple reimagined for the modern woman's wardrobe.

A timeless glen plaid in a versatile denim is woven with subtle hints of caramel, adding a touch of warmth to the pattern. The silhouette, however, is entirely contemporary. A relaxed, wide barrel leg that crops perfectly at the ankle to showcase your favorite loafers, mules, or boots. Classic tailoring meets casual ease with a comfortable drawstring waist and functional patch pockets, blending structure with a relaxed, intelligent sensibility.

A Modern Take on Classic Academia

These aren't your grandfather's plaid pants. This silhouette is designed to be incredibly versatile, forming the foundation of the "dark academia" and modern preppy trends that define fall style.

How to Style Your Plaid Trousers for Fall

For the Preppy Professional: Embrace the full 'dark academia' aesthetic by pairing these trousers with a fitted sweater vest (like our Icon Sleeveless Sweater) and chunky black loafers for a look that's smart, powerful, and impeccably chic.
For the Cozy Weekend: Style them with an oversized cashmere sweater in a rich camel or cream. The beautiful contrast between the soft, luxurious knit and the tailored plaid is the essence of fall comfort.
For Effortless Cool: Dress them down with a vintage-inspired graphic tee half-tucked at the waist and minimalist white sneakers. It's a perfect high-low look for a creative day out.

Fall is a season for smart, timeless style with personality. Invest in the piece you'll build your entire autumn wardrobe around. Add The Prepster Plaid Trousers to your collection today.
