Women's Straight-Leg Trousers FAQs

What are straight-leg trousers?

Women’s straight-leg trousers do exactly what the name suggests – the cut of the leg is the same width from the hip to the ankle. This gives you a flattering and comfortable fit along with a versatile shape that can be styled in various ways. In our collection, we have slim-fitting and looser straight-leg trousers with cropped, ankle-grazing or floor-skimming lengths. High-waisted and mid-rise styles come with pleated or flat fronts and buttoned or stretchy waistbands.

What shoes can you wear with straight-leg trousers?

There’s a style of women’s straight-leg trousers to go with all types of footwear. Classic loafers, lace-up brogues or mid-heeled courts are ideal options to pair with smart work trousers. If you’ve chosen summery trousers crafted from lightweight linen or drapey cotton, ballet pumps and strappy sandals complete the picture. Slim knee-length boots can be slipped on with full-length straight trousers, while chunky trainers complement cropped or ankle-grazer styles.

What tops can you wear with straight-leg trousers?

As straight-leg trousers have a streamlined look, you can play with proportions when it comes to tops. A tailored white blouse tucked into flat-fronted trousers is smart and unfussy. Pick an untucked oversized shirt to enjoy a more relaxed outfit. High-waisted straight trousers can be combined with anything from strappy camis to sheer lace tops or cropped jumpers. To put together a sporty combo with straight-leg joggers, a hoodie is a must-have.
