The Best Trouser Shapes and Styles to Flatter Your Figure
Shop nowHero Banner
It’s an ironic truth that the pieces universally considered to be “wardrobe heroes” are the hardest to scour in your perfect size.
Just look to the hours you’ve accumulated in changing rooms surrounded by piles of denim, on a quest to find the now almost mythological-level perfect-fit jeans for proof. Coming in at a close second to jeans - and equally as ubiquitous with your daily ensembles - are trousers.
Wide, tapered, flared, and cropped, this staple takes on so many different guises that navigating the world of trousers is tricky enough before we even get into the territory of ‘body types’. Forget apples and pears, inverted triangles, and rectangles; obviously, someone once thought that splitting everyone up into specific shapes and sizes would simplify our lives, but who actually ticks every box under one of those aforementioned categories? We know that it’s impossible to put each and every one of us into a specific square (pun intended) and that you and only you know your body the best. So, we’re cutting through the noise and shifting the focus away from finding the types of trousers for your ‘body type’ to those that celebrate your body.
Given that we fit our trousers up to four times during the design process, it’s fair to say we’re an authority on the style. Discovered in our Trouser Lab, these are the specific cuts and designs that address five key needs.
Spring marks the moment we shed our winter coats - quite literally - days start to get longer, temperatures inch up towards the double digits, and in contrast to when layering clothes reigned supreme and an attitude of more is more was a failsafe in our search for style and comfort, this season is all about balance.
So, how do you build a sartorial arsenal that sees you through from April showers to May flowers without either sweltering or shivering? It starts with a curation of the best spring jackets that make treading this elusive middle ground and layering clothes for spring easy.
Perfect for Petites
Gone are the days of having to make the decision between visiting a tailor to take up every pair of trousers you buy or leaving the cuffs to graze the ground if your stature falls under 5’4”. The trick to selecting styles that are perfectly proportioned for petites is to turn to cuts that don’t overwhelm smaller frames and fall to exactly the right length to complement your height.

Instantly brightening your look, our Colour Pop Slim Crop Trouser in a bold, confident shade prepares your wardrobe for warmer temperatures and is complemented by the matching blazer for an eye-catching head-to-toe look. In contrast, our Summer Check Slim Crop Trouser takes a subtler approach to colour, championing a neutral check motif outlined by a contrasting side stripe in soft lemon to complement a shorter frame.
For a tailored look, seek out pairs with turn-up cuffs that accommodate different leg lengths and ensure a sleek finish even when the hems have been shortened. Style them above polished leather loafers or your go-to low-top trainers when a day at the office is replaced with weekend errand-running.
