Elegant women's chinos, culottes, or palazzo trousers for office and evening wear, jeans, leggings, and joggers for leisure, or leather trousers for an extravagant touch – at MADELEINE, every woman finds her style. Alongside the type of trousers and the respective look, selecting the right women's trousers depends on one’s figure: not every pair suits every body type; some styles accentuate certain figures advantageously while concealing unwanted curves. When choosing the perfect pair, the key criteria are the cut, fit, material, and colour. Find your ideal model with a comfortable fit for your wardrobe online!
Since the 1950s, women’s trousers have been a staple across all social circles. Women wear appropriate legwear for every imaginable occasion. Besides classic leisure trousers such as jeans, shorts, and cargo trousers, the range includes numerous styles designed specifically for formal or festive occasions. This includes tailored trousers, silk trousers, linen trousers, and various elegant models in stretch fabrics. Each variant offers completely different characteristics: denim trousers are casual and comfortable, particularly when designed in a loose fit. Cargo trousers are valued for their durable versatility but may not suit every body type. White linen trousers, on the other hand, symbolise summer lightness, while wool trousers combine warmth and elegance. Chino trousers accentuate a youthful clothing style, whereas silk trousers represent refined taste.
With such a wide variety of styles and cuts, selecting women's trousers involves many considerations. In general, legs dressed in dark colours appear slimmer. Consider the interplay between the trousers’ cut and your figure when making a purchase. For women with wider hips, trousers with a low-sitting, narrow waistband are ideal, as are designs with discreetly fitted side pockets. For those with a rounded derrière, avoid conspicuous back pockets. Instead, opt for trousers where the back pockets sit close together, creating the illusion of a smaller rear. Wide-leg Marlene trousers are ideal for camouflaging heavier legs and a larger posterior. However, women with a flatter bottom should avoid Marlene trousers. Women with shorter legs benefit from slightly flared hems, which visually elongate the figure.
For petite women, straight-cut trousers are an excellent choice. This cut suits almost all body types, giving shapely legs a beautiful form and making slim legs appear well-proportioned. If they’re made of fabric, pressed creases further contribute to elongating the leg.
For example, high-waisted chinos suit petite women well, emphasising their figure. Cargo trousers are particularly suitable for slim women, as they add volume with features such as pockets and loops on the buttocks and thighs.
When it comes to jeans, finding the right fit for your size is essential. Loose-fitting jeans in a boyfriend cut are particularly suitable for tall, slim women: wide trousers with a relaxed fit, also known as loose fit. Bootcut jeans, on the other hand, can be worn by women with more robust legs without looking unflattering. Roll up the trouser legs just above the ankles to create a slimmer appearance. Pair ankle-length jeans with high heels in bold colours to accentuate the narrowest point. Small, petite women appear taller in flared jeans paired with heeled shoes. The popular skinny fit, which snugly fits like leggings due to its tight cut with stretch, suits slender women, as do slim-fit Bengalin trousers. Skinny jeans have a similar effect: when cuffed, they lengthen the legs and slim down the silhouette. In MADELEINE’s shop, you’ll find jeans in sizes 8 to 22 to suit your style.
The choice of material and colour is just as crucial as the fit. Women’s trousers crafted with a wool blend drape smoothly and flatter the legs. Stretch trousers fit snugly and contour the figure. Wearers appreciate natural materials for their high level of comfort, while synthetic fibres offer other advantages: they make trousers easy to care for and shape-retentive, conforming to female contours. Linen is particularly refreshing for warm summer days, feeling cool and light while offering superior comfort. The array of colours is vast: slender women have more flexibility, as they can wear everything from bold reds and elegant whites to eccentric patterns, depending on the occasion. For women with pronounced hips or thighs, the right colour can visually flatter their curves: opt for dark tones such as black, grey, or deep blue instead of large patterns, horizontal stripes, or overly bright shades! As long as they’re not skinny jeans, larger sizes can also pull off white jeans beautifully. Add splashes of colour with fashionable accessories such as belts, bags, and statement jewellery.
