Curve Pants

What are curve trousers

Curve trousers, also called curve pants, are trousers graded specifically for a curvier shape, so the waist, hip and thigh are cut in proportion rather than simply sized up from a straight pattern. The result is the fit most people want from trousers: a waistband that sits flat without a gap at the back, room through the hip and seat, and a clean line down the leg. Our curve trousers come in wide leg, straight and tailored fits, and you can see them all in the curve pants edit.

Curve pants vs standard pants

The difference is in the grading, and it is the reason a curve fit sits better.

• Curve vs standard: curve trousers add room through the hip and thigh in proportion, while standard trousers scale every measurement up together and often gap at the waist.
• The waistband: a contoured curve waistband follows the dip from waist to hip, so there is no gap at the back.
• The line: extra room where you need it means the fabric drapes cleanly instead of pulling across the thigh.

Wide leg, straight and tailored

The cut changes the whole outfit.

• Wide leg: a relaxed, flowing line from hip to hem that balances curves and elongates the leg.
• Straight: a clean, even width that works for the office and for everyday wear.
• Tailored: a smarter, structured fit with a pressed line for polished looks.

Who curve trousers suit

Curve trousers are for anyone who finds standard fits gap at the waist or pull across the hip and thigh. A high, contoured waistband suits a defined waist with fuller hips, a wide leg balances a fuller thigh, and a tailored straight cut lengthens the frame. Pair the fit to your shape rather than to your usual number, and always check the measurements first.

How to style curve trousers

Three looks to build around them:

• Workday: tailored trousers with a tucked shirt from tops and blouses and low heels.
• Weekend: wide leg trousers with a fitted knit and trainers for an easy line.
• Evening: straight trousers with a satin top and heels, or swap in a piece from our skirts edit for a change.

Getting the fit right

Fit starts with your measurements, so take your waist, hip and inseam and check the size guide on each product page. Our sizing guide explains how to measure and read the charts. Focus on the hip and thigh numbers first for a curve fit, since the waist can often be nipped in with a belt but a tight thigh cannot be let out. If you are between sizes, size up and tailor the waist.
