HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT BARREL LEG PANTS

What are barrel leg pants?

Barrel leg pants (sometimes called horseshoe or curved leg pants) are fitted at the waist, fuller through the leg and narrower at the ankle. The result is a soft, rounded shape that feels relaxed but still looks put-together.

How to style barrel leg pants

Balance the volume with a fitted top, a tucked-in shirt or a fine knit. Keep the top half streamlined so the shape of the pants is the star.

Best shoes for barrel leg pants

Because barrel legs finish at the ankle, they're perfect for showing off your shoes. Try loafers, ballet flats, chunky sneakers or a pointed flat.

Barrel leg pants for work

In a tailored fabric and a neutral colour, barrel leg pants work in the office too. Add a blazer and loafers for a modern take on workwear.

Cropped barrel leg pants

Cropped barrel pants finish just above the ankle, so they're ideal if you're petite and perfect for showing off sandals in summer or ankle boots in winter.

Linen and drawstring barrel pants

For relaxed summer days, linen and drawstring barrel pants are cool, comfy and easy to throw on. Find more breathable styles in our natural fibres range.

Barrel leg pants vs barrel jeans

Barrel pants come in softer fabrics like linen and suiting that drape and dress up. Love the shape in denim? Shop our barrel jeans for a casual, everyday version.

Barrel leg pants in sizes 16–22

Barrel leg pants are easy to wear on curvier figures. Look for a higher waist and a softer fabric that drapes, rather than a stiff one that adds bulk.

STYLING IDEAS FROM YOUR PREEN STYLE SISTERS

Barrel leg pants look great with a fitted tee and sneakers for the weekend, or a crisp shirt and loafers for work. In summer, try linen barrel pants with a relaxed shirt and sandals; in winter, pair heavier barrel pants with a chunky knit and ankle boots. Still deciding? Compare wide leg, straight leg and all women's pants.
