Plus size women's trousers, wide or straight
The women's plus size trousers are cut for a variety of shapes: wide leg, bootcut, cargo or slim, with a high waist that supports the tummy and provides enough room at the hips and thighs. Among the brands available are: Urban Classics.
For a comfortable trouser, the most important measurement is the hip circumference, before the waist circumference.
Which plus-size trousers to choose?
The most flattering women's plus-size trousers are often wide-leg or high-waisted bootcut: they define the waist, flow over the hips, and elongate the legs. Cargo trousers, more relaxed, are worn casually; slim fit, paired with a long top, suits slender legs.
How to find the right size?
Measure your waist, hip, and thigh, and compare to the brand's size guide: in plus sizes, it's often the thigh that determines two sizes. An elastic waist or drawstring accommodates daily fluctuations.
High waist or elastic waist?
The high waist keeps the belly tucked in and stays put when sitting. The elastic waist, without buttons, offers more freedom but provides less support; it works well for lounge trousers and long days.
How to style plus-size trousers?
With a tucked-in top and a belt, wide trousers shape the silhouette. A long top or a tunic over straight trousers covers the hips. A tone-on-tone outfit elongates, and a heel or platform shoe balances a loose fit.
What length for plus-size trousers?
Check the inseam length: trousers that are too short cut the legs. If you're tall, look for a tall length; if you're petite, a high waist and a length that covers the shoe elongate the silhouette.

Frequently asked questions
At what size do we refer to plus sizes?
In France, plus size generally starts at size 44 or 46, depending on the brand. Letter sizes can be compared using the centimetre measurements from the guide.
How can I prevent the inner thigh from wearing out?
Thigh friction wears out the fabric at the inner thigh. A thick fabric and a cut that allows ease of movement delay wear; a heat-sealed reinforcement extends the life of the trousers.
Which plus-size trousers are suitable for the office?
A straight or wide pleated trouser, in solid fabric, with a tucked-in top and an open jacket. A dark solid colour is the easiest choice.
Do cargo trousers suit different body shapes?
Yes, if they're high-waisted and have flat pockets: they give a relaxed look. Avoid bulky pockets on the hips if you want to keep them discreet.
How can I stop my trousers from slipping down at the waist?
A belt or a well-fitted high waist keeps them in place. Trousers that are too wide at the waist compared to the hips can be adjusted by a seamstress.
