HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT PAIR OF PANTS

Wide leg pants

Relaxed from the hip to the hem, wide leg pants are floaty, flattering and easy to dress up or down. They look amazing with heels or a platform and help lengthen your legs.

Straight leg pants

The ultimate classic. Straight leg pants fall in a clean line from hip to hem, so they suit almost every body shape and go with everything in your wardrobe.

Barrel leg pants

The trend of the moment. Barrel leg pants curve out through the knee and come back in at the ankle for a relaxed, rounded shape that shows off your shoes.

Tapered pants

Roomy through the hip and thigh and narrow at the ankle, tapered pants are comfortable, smart and a great all-rounder for work.

Skinny pants

Fitted from hip to ankle with plenty of stretch, skinny pants tuck into boots and pair perfectly with longer tops and knits.

Stretch waist and pull-on pants

All-day comfort that still looks smart. Stretch waist pants have a pull-on or elastic waistband and come in lots of leg shapes.

Work pants and trousers

Tailored pants in black, navy and neutral tones are the backbone of a work wardrobe. Pair them with a blazer and loafers, or a fine knit and flats.

Linen pants for NZ summers

Linen and linen-blend pants are breathable, cool and perfect for warm Kiwi days. They look relaxed with a tee and sandals, or smart with a crisp shirt.

Black pants

Every wardrobe needs a great pair of black pants. They work for the office, weekends and nights out, and pair with every colour.

Pants in sizes 16–22

Look for a higher rise, a fabric with a little stretch and a leg shape that skims rather than clings. Wide leg, straight leg and stretch waist styles are all great choices for curvier figures.

PANTS FAQS

What style of pants is most flattering?

It depends on your shape, but wide leg and straight leg pants suit almost everyone. A high waist gives a smooth line through the tummy, and a leg that skims rather than clings is flattering on every body.

What pants should I buy if I'm between sizes?

Choose a pair with a stretch waist or a fabric with a little give, as it'll adapt to your shape. If you're unsure, our style sisters are happy to help, and you can return them if they don't fit.

Do wide leg pants suit shorter women?

Yes! Choose a high waist and wear them with a heel, wedge or platform so the hem just skims the floor. Cropped wide leg and straight leg styles are great too.

Are linen pants good for New Zealand weather?

Linen is breathable and perfect for summer. For cooler days, layer linen pants with a knit and boots, or choose a linen blend that creases less.

What's the most versatile pair of pants to own?

A pair of black or neutral straight leg or wide leg pants. They work for the office, weekends and nights out, and go with everything.

What pants are best for work?

Tailored straight leg, tapered or wide leg trousers in black, navy or neutral tones. Choose a fabric with a little stretch for all-day comfort.

What pants should I wear for a night out?

Wide leg pants in a dressy fabric with heels, or tailored black pants with a statement top. Barrel pants with a statement top and heels also look great.

What's the difference between pants and trousers?

In New Zealand, they mean the same thing! Trousers usually describes a more tailored style, while pants covers everything from casual to smart.

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.
