Trousers for Women

What trousers for women does Tom Tailor offer?

The range at Tom Tailor runs from tailored trousers for work and leisure to chinos, culottes, linen trousers and leggings:

• Chino trousers: a classic in sturdy cotton that goes with almost anything.
• Culottes: wide and cropped, they hang so loosely that they almost look like a skirt.
• Linen trousers: airy and lightweight, ideal for warm days.
• Leggings: stretchy and comfortable under long tops or dresses.
• Wide leg and cropped: wide leg means roomy trouser legs, while cropped means a shorter length that shows off the ankle.

You'll find all our denim styles in one place under jeans.

Which fit and rise are right for me?

When choosing a cut and rise, think about how much freedom of movement you need and which silhouette you like. A high rise defines the waist and visually lengthens the legs, and it makes tucking in tops easy. A mid rise sits slightly lower and stays comfortable even when you're sitting for long periods. Wide-leg styles hang loosely and look balanced with a slimmer top. In the end, what matters is what you feel good in, because there's no cut that only works for one body shape.

How can I tell if women's trousers are good quality?

Good women's trousers are made from a fabric that holds up to everyday wear and have a waistband that fits without digging in. Many styles are made from polyester or cotton with a little elastane for stretch and freedom of movement. A touch of viscose gives the fabric a softer drape. Twill is densely woven, hard-wearing and recognisable by its fine diagonal lines. When it comes to fastenings, you have a choice: a zip with a button or a hook and eye looks classic, while an elasticated waistband is especially comfortable to wear.

How do I style women's trousers?

For the office, pair your trousers with a blouse and a blazer. For downtime, go for a T-shirt and trainers. Tucking your blouse into a high waistband gives a neat look and shows off your waist. Cropped styles work well with flat shoes, as they leave the ankle on show. With wide, full-length trousers, a shoe with a bit of heel makes your silhouette look longer.
