THE 8 BEST TROUSER STYLES TO FLATTER YOUR FIGURE
We’re known for our trousers, and for good reason. Great pants can be the foundation or the focal point of a look, so every collection is filled with a range of shapes, fits and colors.
All our styles from wide-leg cuts and cropped lengths, to palazzo and tapered pants, undergo a rigorous testing and fitting process to ensure they’re flattering and above all else, functional (yes, that means pockets). In short, we’re confident we’ve got a pair for everyone, that you’ll love wearing now + forever.
1. The Black Pant
Think trusty LBD, but in pant form. From casual errands to formal attire, few items have such outfit-building mileage. Every season we’ve got a multitude of black pant options in multiple shapes so you can find your preferred cut.
Our Travel Tailoring Slim Crop Pant is made from wool-blend knitted tailoring for a streamlined look that’s also crease-free - making it perfect for packing, traveling or commuting. The slim-cut cropped length goes the distance when it comes to styling - think sneakers, boots, flats or sandals.
Also available in a contemporary kick-flare, this Travel Tailoring Pant is made from heavyweight ponte jersey fabric that skims the figure and holds its structure for a balance of flattering shape and all-day wear ease.
If you’re looking for a more formal option, then try the Forever Tux collection. The Slim Crop Tux Pant and Wide Leg Tux Pant are both made from Italian tailoring fabric for a classically smart look, then accented with satin side stripes in homage to traditional tuxedos.
2. The Statement Fabric Pant
For transeasonal dressing and beyond, a textural pant is a great option. They bring instant interest to any look, and you can score double points when worn with a matching blazer.
Our smoke pink Clever Cord pair delivers a dose of muted transeasonal color and textural interest. They’re made from velvety Italian-cotton corduroy to a relaxed leg shape and fitted with a high-rise waistband. This style is intelligently designed with deep cuffs, allowing the option of a full-length look or a turn-up cuff.
3. The Cargo Pant
This season, we’ve taken the cargo in a new direction. Our Cargo Jean is the ultimate option for creating casual outfits that still look polished. They’re made from a cotton and recycled fiber blend that gives the denim an ultra-soft feel and complements the wide-leg baggy fit, then fitted with an elasticated drawcord waist.
4. The Tailored Pant
A hard-working hero for workwear and weekend dressing alike, the perfect tailored pant is a staple for a reason and a mainstay style in our collections.
Our Pinstripe Wide-Leg Pleat Front Pant unites the smartness of classic wool-blend tailoring with the versatility of soft neutrals. Rendered in cream with chocolate-brown pinstripes, the flattering pair are fitted with double pleats that are stitched at the top to promote a fitted high-rise waist, before flaring into voluminous legs.
5. The Contemporary Jogger Pant
Available in navy and green, our Sweatshirting Jogger follows the same extreme tapered silhouette as our best-selling jeans. They have wide-cut, curved legs for a flattering look, and are fitted with an elasticated drawcord waist. Whether worn with a classic T-shirt for errands or dressed up with a crisp shirt, they’re a go-to for effortless outfit building.
Looking for a smarter option that’s still easy wearing? Our DNA Wide-Leg Side Stripe Track Pant bridges the gap between tailoring and loungewear. They’re aptly named after the red and cream side stripes that have been a ME+EM hallmark since the star, and here deliver a sporty-smart look and an elongating leg effect.
6. The Colour-Pop Pant
Bring an instant uplift to your transeasonal wardrobe with a dose of unapologetic color. Our orchid green pants have stitched front pleats that promote flattering voluminous legs, perfectly balanced by the fitted high-rise waist and cleverly placed pockets. Choose them as a bold base with neutral separates, or opt for head-to-toe colour with tonal-green knitwear.
7. The Cropped Pant
Casual or smart, a cropped pant gives any look an instantly intentional edge.
The name is no accident, The Perfect Chino is the product of rigorous fit testing and considered fabric choice. They’re rendered in a suitably versatile deep autumn olive hue and made from washed cotton infused with stretch. Topstitched deep hems create a clean cropped hem, and can also be flipped into turn-up cuffs for an even shorter length.
Another cropped style that ticks work and weekend ready boxes is our Slim Crop Track Pant. They’re made from fluid fabric with a pressed front crease that recalls traditional tailoring, then fitted with an elasticated waistband. Enjoy a sporty-smart look thanks to our DNA side stripe in khaki and cream.
8. The Trusty Denim
Last but not least, it wouldn’t be a trouser essentials list without perhaps one of the most versatile styles of all - jeans. This season we’ve got new shapes, washes and fabrics.
Your new everyday hero is here. The Engineered Relaxed Jean comes in an ultra-versatile mid-blue wash that styles with light and dark colours alike. The relaxed, wide leg is complete with our signature side stripe insert that creates the perfect amount of slouch.
Travel and denim aren’t words you’d typically associate with each other, however this season we’ve added more denim styles into our Travel Tailoring collection, meaning your new favorite jeans are comfy enough to wear long haul. Available in a range of silhouettes including Palazzo, Kick Flare and a Kick Flare Crop, the innovative super-soft denim is infused with extra stretch and has minimal fastenings and no pockets for a fuss-free finish.
