Women’s Pants FAQs

What are the different types of women’s pants?

The most popular types of women's trousers include a variety of silhouettes designed for different occasions, fits, and style preferences.

• Slim-leg pants. A fitted style that follows the shape of the leg for a sleek, streamlined look.
• Straight pants. A classic silhouette with a consistent width from the hip to the hem, offering a timeless fit.
• Bootcut pants. Slightly fitted through the thigh with a subtle flare at the bottom, making them easy to pair with heels or boots.
• Flare pants. Feature a wider opening from the knee down for a statement-making, retro-inspired look.
• Wide-leg pants. Offer a relaxed, flowing fit with extra room through the leg for a polished yet comfortable feel.

How do I choose the right size in women's pants?

In order to get an accurate size for women’s pants, it’s important to ensure you have the proper measurements. Here’s how to measure yourself at home:

• Natural waist. Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, keeping the tape comfortably snug and level.
• Hips. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat while standing naturally.
• Inseam. Measure from the top of your inner thigh to where you want the pant hem to fall.

When choosing pants for women, also consider your preferred fit and inseam length. You may prefer looser-fitting jeans, gravitating towards a bigger size. The inseam length will determine where your jeans will fall. Long inseams are for tall women 5'7" to 5'9", providing an additional inch to the pants length, while short inseams are for women 5'5" to 5'6", with pants being one inch shorter than regular sizes.

How can I style women’s trousers for a modern look?

Here are a few tips for styling women’s trousers for a modern look:

• Choose a sleek women's blazer or another outer layer for additional coverage.
• Choose stylish shoes like flats, loafers, or pumps to complement the silhouette.
• Complete your ensemble with women’s jewelry, such as sleek rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

When styling, pair wide-leg trousers with a fitted top to balance proportions or style slim pants with an oversized sweater for a contemporary look. If you need personalized styling advice, visit a WHBM boutique near you.
