Women's striped trousers 

Initially a symbol of marginality, stripes have carved out their place in fashion history to become an essential wardrobe motif. Women, in particular, have embraced this pattern to assert their independence over the decades. Today, stripes appear everywhere, on shirts, accessories, and of course, trousers. From straight-cut striped trousers to more distinctive barrel models, our selection offers this pattern in fabrics suitable for every season: breathable cotton linen for warmer days, and soft knit for cooler periods. Some models feature an elasticated waist or a drawstring, details that combine comfort and style for everyday wear. 

Why striped trousers are a must-have in your wardrobe 

Women's stripes have transcended decades without ever losing their relevance. From a nautical style to chic tailoring, this pattern remains a highly recognizable trend each season. It's one of the rare pieces that suits both office wear and a casual weekend outing. 

Vertical stripes also have a distinct advantage: they create a continuous line that visually lengthens the silhouette. Well-cut striped trousers naturally slim the legs, regardless of body type. These geometric pattern garments remain among the most popular from one season to the next, precisely because they effortlessly adapt to all looks. 

Devernois' collection of striped trousers offers various models: fine stripes for an elegant and chic look, wide stripes for a more assertive fashion statement. Colors also play a key role: navy and white for a classic nautical spirit, camel and black for a contemporary touch, or more colorful combinations to energize a plain outfit. Fabrics are carefully selected: cotton linen is ideal for warmer days due to its natural lightness, while knit offers flexibility and comfort as temperatures drop. 

Which striped trousers to choose? 

The choice of striped trousers primarily depends on the cut, fabrics, and construction details. Each shape creates a different silhouette and suits distinct occasions, from casual to trend-setting. 

In terms of cuts, straight striped trousers remain the most versatile: classic and chic, they lengthen the leg and can be worn both at the office and in the city. Cigarette striped trousers, a more fitted style, enhance the silhouette with fine stripes for an elegant and professional look. Barrel striped trousers are the current trendy cut: wide at the thighs, tapered at the ankle, they gain character with wide stripes. Finally, linen striped trousers are ideal for the first warm days, thanks to their breathable fabric that wrinkles elegantly.

Regarding fabrics and details, cotton linen remains the benchmark for summer striped trousers: natural, lightweight, it provides optimal comfort without weighing down the outfit. The elasticated waist is an essential detail; it adapts to movements and makes it easy to put on every day. Some models combine an elasticated waist and a drawstring for perfect support without any constraint. For cooler seasons, stretchy knit versions retain the allure of striped trousers with maximum comfort. 

How to wear and match your striped trousers 

To avoid overwhelming the outfit, the basic rule remains simple: wear a plain top with striped trousers. Avoid layered patterns, large illustrations, and of course, striped shirts or t-shirts. A silk square scarf tied around the neck or attached to a bag handle, however, adds a chic and original touch without competing with the trousers' pattern. Wearing the same stripes on trousers and a jacket sold as a coordinated set creates a very controlled and particularly elegant striped jacket effect, one of the most assertive trends in women's tailoring right now. 

Style tips for casual looks 

For successful casual looks with these striped garments, opt for wide or straight cuts in cotton linen or denim. A plain white shirt tucked into striped trousers is enough to create a neat urban look. You can also pair a plain crew-neck sweater for cooler days – the soft texture of the sweater contrasts nicely with the geometric pattern of the stripes. A bandana-style scarf tied in the hair or around the wrist completes this casual style with a touch of character. Flat shoes or sneakers, a structured bag, sunglasses – accessory details make all the difference without overwhelming the outfit. 

How to wear striped trousers for a professional look 

Striped trousers are naturally chic, ideal for office wear. Opt for fine stripes in neutral colors – black, navy, beige, grey – paired with a straight or cigarette cut. A plain shirt or elegant blouse forms the basis of a professional and trendy trouser outfit. The combination of striped trousers and a blazer is particularly effective: the plain blazer structures the ensemble and reinforces the chic aspect of the outfit. For an even more assertive effect, coordinated striped trousers and blazer in the same tones form a modern and very popular suit ensemble. Details matter as much as the cut here: a delicate watch, a silk square scarf tucked into the blazer pocket, or a structured leather bag complete the polished look.

What top to wear with striped trousers? 

The basic rule: a plain shirt to avoid overwhelming the outfit. White, beige, or black, depending on the stripe colors, allows the pattern to stand out without competition. For casual looks, a plain t-shirt tucked into striped trousers simply highlights the cut. For a chic and trendy look, a plain blazer or a structured jacket over striped trousers creates an elegant ensemble that works equally well for meetings or evenings out. A silk or lightweight voile scarf completes the outfit with refinement, without making it heavy. To avoid: pairing a striped top with the same colors; prefer complementary or neutral tones to maintain visual harmony. Also, discover our sailor sweaters to elegantly embrace coordinated stripes.
