7/8 pants

Women's 7/8 Trousers 

Women's 7/8 trousers stop just above the ankles, a length between classic long trousers and capris. This specific length makes them surprisingly versatile: equally at home in a structured office outfit or a casual weekend look. At Devernois, they are available in fluid, stretch, linen or knit fabrics for a wardrobe that combines comfort and elegance every day. 

Women's 7/8 trousers: a flattering cut for all body types 

By revealing the ankle, the 7/8 cut creates an optical illusion that visually lengthens the leg. It's one of the few lengths that works for all body types, from petite to tall. Fluid materials like linen, viscose, and crepe accentuate this effect by allowing the fabric to drape lightly. Stretch versions offer absolute comfort while maintaining a neat silhouette throughout the day. From Saturday in the city to Monday's meeting, these trousers adapt effortlessly to every situation. 

What does "7/8 trousers" mean and how do they differ from capri pants? 

The 7/8 refers to 7/8ths of the total length of trousers: they stop between the calf and the ankle, whereas capri pants cut below the knee. This difference completely changes the final look. 7/8 trousers are longer, more elegant, and can be worn equally well in autumn-winter as in spring. They are a modern alternative to classic long trousers, more feminine and lighter, without ever appearing too casual. 

What shoes to wear with women's 7/8 trousers? 

The exposed ankle becomes the focal point of the outfit, so shoe choice is crucial. Pumps and mules naturally highlight this area and lengthen the silhouette. Ballet flats and loafers are perfect for a casual chic everyday look. White sneakers add a relaxed and contemporary touch. However, high boots should be avoided: they hide the ankle and negate the entire effect of the 7/8 cut.
