1970s Red Velvet Highwaisted Wide-Leg Trousers

A striking pair of original 1970s high-waisted trousers in a rich, vibrant red velvet — an effortlessly cool and flattering silhouette that captures the era perfectly.

Cut with a high waist and a long, wide leg, these trousers create a beautiful elongated line while remaining easy to style. The velvet is substantial and textured, giving structure and depth to the colour, while still allowing for comfortable wear.

The fabric is a cotton-blend velvet (50% cotton, with viscose and polyamide), offering a soft yet durable finish with a slightly plush hand. The interior is unlined but has a smooth feel against the skin.

They fasten with a side zip and button closure and feature practical side pockets. The fit is tailored through the waist and upper hips before falling into a relaxed, wide leg.

Due to the cut and fabric (with minimal stretch), the hip measurement is particularly important — there needs to be sufficient ease to pull them on comfortably.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. Minor signs of wear consistent with age.
