Like the HiLo's and Slackers, Lantern Breeches are cut to be roomy without being too voluminous. No less than 8 panels create a loose leg shape that angles in towards the ankle, creating a multi-faceted lantern-shape around the bottom half of the leg.
Large slash pockets keep the hip-section smooth and flat.
For more details about the shape and fit watch Ep 123 of the Slow Wardrobe podcast on YouTube. The resulting shape follows the relaxed, over-sized feel of most of the Layercake range but with a different silhouette. And just like the other designs, they can be worn full-length or cropped, depending on the look you are after. The tapered leg-shape gives them a breeches-like look, especially when worn cropped. Worn full-length they are super-comfortable, easy to team with just about any other Layercake and they hit that typical Layercake combination of looking both quirky and sophisticated at the same time.
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.
Trousers
These garments are designed to fit a very wide range of sizes and heights, from a UK size 10 to 28. Check these garment measurements to give you an idea of their dimensions. All trouser and skirt lengths are measured from the top of the waistband down to the bottom of the hem, along the side seam.
Lantern Breeches: 3 sizes in 2 lengths
HiLo Bloomers: 1 size in 2 lengths

Every Layercake has washing labels sewn into them, usually in the left side-seam. All our linen is pre-shrunk, unless stated otherwise and can be machine-washed at 40º C and either line-dried or machine-dried. If you machine-dry them, take them out of the dryer as soon as it finishes and hang them up straightaway, then you will not have to iron them.
Our Linen
Linen is one of the world's strongest textiles and most sustainable fashion choices, creating zero waste as every part of the plant is used (for textiles and food). Our linen is all European grown, yarn-dyed and woven especially for us, then boil-washed to pre-shrink it.

Wearability
Linen is not only a Summer fabric, it is also a natural insulator, providing warmth when it is needed and offering the perfect base for a layered look, trapping air between the layers to keep you cozy year-round.
