HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT STRETCH PANTS

What are stretch waist pants?

Stretch waist pants have a waistband that stretches for comfort, often with no zip or buttons. Many are made in stretchy fabrics too, so they move with you all day.

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 pants vs leggings

Stretch pants are made in thicker, structured fabrics with a proper leg shape, so they look like trousers. Leggings are thinner and skin-tight. If you want comfort that looks polished, choose stretch pants.

Black stretch pants

A pair of black stretch pants is the easiest thing in your wardrobe. Wear them to work, on the weekend or out to dinner.

Stretch pants for work

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

Stretch pants for travel

Comfy, easy-care stretch 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 pants come in lots of shapes. Find your favourite, from wide leg and straight leg to tapered and skinny.

Stretch 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.

STRETCH PANTS FAQS

Do stretch waist pants look smart enough for work?

Yes! Many stretch 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.

What's the difference between stretch pants and leggings?

Stretch pants are thicker and cut like trousers, with a proper leg shape. Leggings are thinner and skin-tight.

Can I tuck a top into pull-on pants?

Absolutely. Flat or wide waistbands look great with a tucked-in top. A half-tuck or a longer top also works.

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 leg shapes do stretch pants come in?

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