Modern shape, effortless polish

Some days you want to look a little more interesting than your usual straight-leg trousers. These deliver that with ease. The crossover front and soft draping give a contemporary, gallery-owner kind of chic, yet they are as simple to wear as your favourite jeans. Add a black jumper and ankle boots and you feel modern, confident and pulled together, whether you are heading to work or meeting friends in town.

Room through the hips, neat at the ankle

The pleats give you generous room through the hips and thighs, so you can sit, bend and climb stairs without anything pulling. The fabric stretches gently as you move and keeps its shape through the day. Towards the ankle, the leg narrows neatly so your boots or trainers stay the star. Slip your hands into the side pockets and enjoy trousers that feel as comfortable at six in the evening as at nine in the morning.

Gallery visits and city lunches

Picture a cool spring day in the city: a morning at an exhibition, lunch somewhere bright and buzzy, an afternoon browsing bookshops. These trousers suit that kind of day perfectly. Wear them with a fitted black top, heeled ankle boots and a small handbag, or swap to white slip-on trainers for a more relaxed weekend look. They take you from the office to dinner without a second thought, and still feel fresh.

Your questions about this piece

Sizes run from S to 5XL, and the guide gives the UK, EU and US equivalent for each one, from UK 8 to UK 22. Choose your usual size; the stretch fabric gives comfort, and if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.

The narrow ankle looks lovely with heeled ankle boots for a chic outfit, or white slip-on trainers for an easy weekend, exactly as the photos show.
