Eudora High Waisted Wide Leg Pants

The high waisted wide leg trouser has quietly become the most reliable thing in a lot of wardrobes, and it is not hard to see why. The waist sits at its natural place and the leg goes straight out and down from there, which does something generous to the proportions of almost everyone. Add pockets, which these have, and the case is basically closed.

The fabric is 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex, so there is spandex in the blend alongside the polyester body. The trousers are pocketed. Sizes run S to 2XL with the waist from 28.3 inches up to 37 inches, the hip from 39.4 through 48 inches, and the bottom length climbing gently from 42.5 to 44.1 inches across the range. That is a long leg, which is the point of a wide leg: it should reach the floor and pool very slightly over the shoe rather than stopping short at the ankle.

Ivory white is the sharper of the two colours and looks its best with a crisp tee or a fine knit tucked in. Dark blue is the more forgiving and slips straight into a working wardrobe under a blazer. Either way, tuck the top so the waistline reads, and put something with a bit of height underneath if you want the full length effect. A loafer works for the day and a heeled sandal takes it further.
