HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT TAPERED PANTS

What are tapered pants?

Tapered pants are cut with more room through the hip and thigh, then narrow gradually towards the ankle. They're less fitted than skinny pants, but neater than a straight leg.

Tapered pants for work

A tailored tapered pant is smart, comfortable and easy to wear all day. Pair with a blazer or a fine knit and loafers.

Relaxed and casual tapered pants

Softer fabrics and elastic or tie waists make tapered pants a weekend favourite. Wear them with a tee and sneakers for easy style.

Cropped tapered pants

An ankle-grazing length shows off your shoes and suits petite frames. It's perfect with flats, loafers and sandals.

Tapered pants in sizes 16–22

Tapered pants are a flattering choice for curvier figures, giving room through the hips while keeping a neat finish. Look for a stretch waist for extra comfort.
