HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT STRETCH WAIST PANTS

Pull-on and elastic waist pants

No zips or buttons, just easy pull-on comfort. A wide, flat waistband sits smoothly under tops and doesn't dig in.

Stretch waist pants for work

Tailored-look stretch waist pants give you a smart outfit with all-day comfort. Wear them with a blazer or a longline top.

Stretch waist pants for travel

Comfy, easy-care stretch waist pants are perfect for long drives, flights and holidays. Pack a pair in a neutral colour to go with everything.

Choose your leg shape

Stretch waist pants come in lots of shapes. Look for your favourite, from wide leg and straight leg to tapered and skinny.

Stretch waist pants in sizes 16–22

A supportive stretch waist is one of the most comfortable options for curvier figures. Look for a higher rise and a smooth, flat front.

Dress stretch waist pants up with a silky top and heels, or keep it relaxed with a tee and sneakers. A tucked-in or half-tucked top shows off the waist, while a longer top keeps it covered. Browse all women's pants for more styles.

STRETCH WAIST PANTS FAQS

Do stretch waist pants look smart enough for work?

Yes! Many stretch waist pants have a flat front or a tailored look, so they look just as polished as zip-up pants. Pair with a blazer for the office.

How should stretch waist pants fit?

The waistband should sit comfortably without digging in or slipping down. It should lie flat under your top.

Can I tuck a top into stretch waist pants?

Absolutely. Flat or wide waistbands look great with a tucked-in top. If you prefer, a half-tuck or a longer top also works.

What leg shapes do stretch waist pants come in?

All sorts, including wide leg, straight leg, tapered and skinny. Choose the leg shape you love and enjoy the comfort.

Are elastic waist pants and stretch waist pants the same?

They're very similar. Both have a waistband that stretches for comfort, and many are pull-on with no zip or buttons.

What if they don't fit?

No stress. We offer full money back returns, even on sale. See our returns policy, or pop into one of our stores in Timaru, Ashburton or Oamaru and our team will help you find your perfect fit.
