Straight pants

Women's straight-leg trousers 

Straight-leg trousers are an essential part of a woman's wardrobe. Their cut flatters all body types. Whether in cotton, knit, velvet, or denim, women's straight-leg trousers give you style and exceptional comfort, whatever the circumstances. Available in a multitude of cuts and colours, they allow you to create varied outfits, from casual to sophisticated, from everyday casual looks to chic evening wear. 

Why are straight-leg trousers different from other types of trousers? 

The straight cut is undoubtedly the most well-known and popular style among women. Less form-fitting than slim-fit and narrower than a flare, this cut is characterised by a simple and clean line that doesn't hug the leg too tightly. It's a wardrobe staple. 

There are many advantages. The straight cut subtly accentuates curves and offers real comfort that more fitted cuts don't always allow. These trousers can be easily combined with various clothes and accessories in your wardrobe, whether for work, a casual outing, or an evening event. And because the line remains vertical and balanced, they suit all body types – that's their real strength. 

How to choose the right straight-leg trousers for women? 

Our styles can be worn in any season. Style, material, colour: it's not always easy to choose. Your trousers should above all respect your personality, your values, and your body type. 

For an elegant style in autumn 

The straight cut is the best fashion asset for your elegant or casual outfits. In autumn, wear a black cotton pair or dark denim trousers. Pair them with a ribbed knit jumper or a flowing beige or white shirt. For those who like a fitted look without constraint, stretch cotton is ideal: the cut remains precise and the material adapts to the day's movements. Also dare to wear brown or beige velvet for a very trendy vintage style. 

A winter essential 

In winter, opt for high-waisted straight-leg trousers in wool, cotton, velvet, or leather. Leather jogpants add a rock or glamorous touch to your look, depending on your desires and how you accessorise them. Wear them with a jumper or a knit tank top. Black or raw high-waisted straight-leg jeans remain a go-to piece to face the cold in style. Note: straight-leg velvet trousers are particularly flattering in winter; their dense texture structures the silhouette while remaining very comfortable. 

For sunny days 

Flowy straight-leg trousers with an elasticated waist are perfect for the summer season. Linen-cotton is particularly recommended here: natural, breathable, it drapes well and doesn't wrinkle too much in the heat. Opt for light colours like white, beige, or pink to create a bohemian chic outfit. You can also play with patterns and bright colours to energise your summer looks.

Which cut for which body type? 

If you have an hourglass figure, the ideal trousers should highlight your slender waist. A high-waisted style enhances your curves while lengthening the silhouette. H-shaped body types can opt for standard waist styles, without pleats or side pockets. 

Curvy O-shaped silhouettes prefer a flowy style with an elastic waist that elegantly flatters their curves. The straight line also has a significant tummy-flattening effect: combined with a high waist, it visually slims and lengthens the gaze downwards. To create the illusion of wider hips, a V-shaped silhouette can opt for side pockets or straight-leg trousers with pleats. 

Are you rather tall, with an athletic build? The chino style suits you perfectly. You can also choose a cargo style with visible pockets to add volume to the lower body. If you are petite, opt for a 7/8 length. 

Colours and patterns for all desires 

Choosing the right colour and pattern is essential for a successful outfit. Some colours remain timeless, regardless of the style: black, brown, or dark blue go with all styles and seasons. For a touch of originality, dare to wear bright colours – red, orange, fuchsia pink – to energise a simple outfit. 

For a bohemian chic look, prefer a printed straight-leg trousers in white or beige, or play with minimalist patterns. The chosen trouser colour often dictates the rest of the outfit: a neutral colour allows complete freedom for the top, while printed knit trousers call for a plain top to balance the ensemble. 

What trousers for a 60-year-old woman? 

The straight cut is probably the most flattering after 60. Its vertical line lengthens the silhouette and rebalances it naturally, without a body-hugging effect. Prioritise a high waist: it visually slims the waist and lengthens the legs. In terms of materials, stretch cotton and linen-cotton offer real comfort that adapts to movement without ever distorting the cut. Avoid overly fitted or overly loose styles; the straight line remains the most elegant and versatile. For colour, navy, camel, or black provide a solid base; a bright colour or a well-cut dressy pair of trousers is enough to liven up an everyday outfit.
