Frequently asked questions about plus size softshell pants

How do I style my plus size softshell pants?

Softshell pants are great for outdoor activities, yet they're also remarkably versatile. Pair them with just about any style of plus size knit tops and tees, and it's a match made in heaven. The best way to complement the understated look of all-black plus size soft shell pants is with a dark tone ski jacket or quilted vest that features vibrant geometrical and floral motifs. Accessories like knit scarves, cowls, beanies, and quilted gloves will add a splash of color to the outfit and infuse it with much-needed personal flair. For a sporty look, Ulla Popken offers a trendy side stripe pants alternative, which follows the outline of the legs from the waist to the hem and creates the optical illusion of longer and slimmer legs.

Why does the style matter in plus size softshell pants?

Softshell pants tend to be on the puffy side because they come with layers of insulation. However, plus size softshell pants by Ulla Popken have the best of both worlds: high-quality fabrics and a slimming silhouette. These high-rise pants with adjustable waistline, clever seams, and slash pockets hug the waist and hips just right. They come with heaps of practical features like hook and eye tab and zipper for tightening the tummy discreetly. For little things best kept at arm's reach, they also come with vertical side pockets. Boasting ankle-to-knee side zippers, they work equally well with snow boots, chunky shoes, and dress boots, and make changing from sporty outfits to casual-smart ones a breeze.

How do I wash plus size softshell pants?

Ulla Popken plus size softshell pants have the unique advantage of being made of the highest quality synthetic materials and a touch of elastane. Together, these fabrics impart wear, weather resistance, and a bit of elasticity, making them ideal for outdoor adventures. To help them look their best for longer, refrain from bleaching, ironing, dry cleaning, and tumble drying them. Ideally, softshell pants should also be washed on a cold and delicate cycle to preserve the properties of the fibers.
