What shoes go with wide leg trousers?

A shoe with a little height works best, such as a block heel, a wedge or a chunky trainer, so the hem skims the floor rather than pooling. With a culotte, a flat loafer or sandal is fine because the ankle shows.

Do wide leg trousers suit petite women?

They can, if the length is right. A high waist and a hem that just covers the top of the shoe lengthen the leg. A culotte or cropped wide leg is often easier on a shorter frame. Try them with the shoes you plan to wear to check the length.

Which wide leg trousers are pull-on?

Several Anna Montana Mila styles and the Meret culotte pull on with no zip, along with some of our linen styles. You will find every elastic and drawstring waist together on our pull-on trousers page. The drawstring styles let you adjust the waist for a closer or easier fit.

Where can I buy wide leg trousers in Dorset?

At Shirley Allum on the High Street in Shaftesbury, where you can try several wide leg trousers side by side, and online at shirleyallum.co.uk with tracked UK delivery available. Bring the shoes you plan to wear so we can check the length together.

How should wide leg trousers fit?

They should sit comfortably at the waist and fit through the hip, then fall loose from the thigh down. If they feel tight at the hip, size up, as the room should start below the hip, not above.

Wide Leg Trousers

Women's wide leg trousers fall straight and loose from the hip, so they skim rather than cling and move easily when you walk. This page gathers our wide legs and culottes in one place.

The Anna Montana Mila has a flexi waistband and is cut wide in most styles. Brax adds the Maine, and NYDJ brings wide leg linen trousers and cargo capris for warmer days, with culottes from Anna Montana, MAC and Bibico.

A wide leg looks best with a little heel or a chunky trainer, so the hem just skims the floor. Bring the shoes you plan to wear when you come to our Shaftesbury shop and we will check the length with you.
