RIO Midtown Blue

High rise · Straight · The middle of our range

The waistband sits high, with a relaxed fit over the hip and thigh. From the knee, the leg falls straight down and keeps the same width all the way to the hem — no taper, no flare.

The leg falls free of the calf, so it never clings. This is the middle of our range: roomier than ROXI, narrower than DIXI. Depending on the length you choose, the hem ends at the ankle or on the shoe.

The stretch denim recovers, so the fit stays the way it was cut.

Available in L32 (79 cm)
Model is 176 cm, wears FR44

Every Fox Factor fit is drafted on real curvy and plus-size women, sizes 42-54 - not scaled up from a straight size.

70% Cotton · 19% Polyester · 9% Rayon · 2% Spandex

Cotton still leads, so this reads as real denim - but the rayon changes the hand: softer against the skin, with a smoother surface and more drape than a straight cotton denim. The polyester holds everything in shape between washes. With only 2% spandex there is very little stretch here, so the fit comes from the cut rather than from the fabric giving way.

Here's the thing about denim: washing is what wears it out, not wearing it. Hang them up between wears and they'll be fine for weeks.

When they do need a wash - inside out, cold water, similar colours. Skip the bleach and stay away from the tumble dryer. Heat is the real enemy: it breaks down the stretch and pulls the colour out of the wash. Hang dry or lay flat instead. Iron on low if you want to.

Treat them like this and they'll keep their shape and colour for years, not seasons.
