Padded Cropped Trousers: M and L Differ by Just 1–2 cm
The M and L charts are close: 2 cm at waist, hip and thigh, and 1 cm in length. Check elastic tension and finished inside room before sizing up.
The spliced padded cropped trousers offer only M and L in Black or Gray. Their chart is unusually close between sizes. Before assuming the L will create much more room, look at the elastic-waist range and the hip and thigh figures together.
Read the small steps, not just M and L
M lists a 72–102 cm waist range, 116 cm hip, 73 cm thigh and 92 cm length. L lists 74–104 cm at the waist, 118 cm hip, 75 cm thigh and 93 cm length. The minimum and maximum waist points each move 2 cm; hip and thigh each move 2 cm; length moves 1 cm. A body measurement of 100 cm at the waist, for example, would sit near the printed maximum of either option. That does not prove either will feel comfortable at that stretch, because the listing does not report elastic tension or a recommended body-waist range.
Check the padded shape in your own trousers
Lay flat a pair of cropped trousers you like and note waist at rest, waist gently extended, hip, upper-thigh width and total outseam. Ask for the same measuring points on the M and L options, plus whether the chart numbers are garment circumferences. Padding can occupy space inside a garment, but the page gives no padding thickness or finished inside dimensions. Do not turn the outer chart into a guaranteed inner fit.
The listing describes cotton, an elastic waist and cropped length. It does not provide an inseam, ankle opening or tested temperature range. Compare the 92–93 cm total length with where your own trousers finish above a chosen shoe, then make the M/L decision from the dimensions that matter most rather than the letter alone.
