HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT WIDE LEG PANTS

High-waisted wide leg pants

A high waist lengthens your legs and gives a smooth, defined shape through the middle. Tuck in a fitted top or a knit to show off the waistline, then finish with a block heel or chunky sneaker.

Linen and summer wide leg pants

Breezy linen and linen-blend wide leg pants are a Kiwi summer essential: cool on hot days and relaxed enough for the beach, the bach or a long lunch. Browse more breathable styles in our natural fibres range.

Wide leg pants for work

Tailored wide leg pants in black, navy or neutral tones are the hardest-working pieces in a work wardrobe. Add a blazer and loafers for meetings, or swap in a silky cami for evening.

Palazzo pants

Want maximum swish? Palazzo pants have the widest, most flowing leg of all. They're a great choice for special occasions and holidays, and look amazing with a fitted top to balance the volume.

Wide leg pants in sizes 16–22

Wide leg pants are one of the most flattering cuts for curvier figures. Look for a supportive or stretch waist, fabric with a little weight so it drapes well, and a length that just grazes the top of your shoe.

Culottes and cropped wide leg pants

Culottes and cropped wide leg styles sit just above the ankle, so they're perfect for showing off sandals in summer or ankle boots in winter. They're easy to wear, cool on warm days and great if you're petite.

WIDE LEG PANTS FAQS

Can I wear wide leg pants all year round?

Yes. Go for linen and lightweight blends in summer, and heavier fabrics like ponte, crepe or tailored suiting in the cooler months. Tuck in a knit or add a long coat and you're sorted for winter.

Are wide leg pants still in style?

Yes! Wide leg pants are one of the biggest trouser shapes right now, from relaxed linen styles to sharp tailoring. They've become a wardrobe staple rather than a passing trend.

What shoes should I wear with wide leg pants?

Heels, block heels or platforms add height and keep the hem off the ground. For everyday, chunky sneakers and loafers work well. Just make sure the hem sits close to the floor with the shoes you'll wear most.

Do wide leg pants suit petite women?

Absolutely. Choose a high waist, a cropped or ankle length, and a similar colour top and shoe to create a longer line. A little heel helps too.

What's the difference between wide leg, barrel and straight leg pants?

Wide leg pants flare out from the hip and stay wide all the way to the hem, so they're floaty and relaxed. Barrel leg pants curve out through the knee and taper back in at the ankle for a rounded, fashion-forward shape. Straight leg pants fall in a clean line from hip to hem, making them the easiest everyday classic. Not sure which suits you? Ask your style sisters, we love helping.

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.
