Tech Stretch Pant Collection Review: Natalie Angel from Let Me Try Before You Buy Shares Her Favourite Fits

The Collaboration

Natalie Angel, creator of the popular Let Me Try Before You Buy channel, is known for her honest, real-world fashion reviews that help women of all shapes and sizes find pieces that truly work for them. Her warm, inclusive approach and commitment to showcasing wearable style make her a perfect match for Leina + Fleur.

We’ve collaborated with Natalie to put our Tech Stretch Pants Collection to the test - a range created in direct response to our customers’ needs for beautifully cut pants that cater to diverse body shapes, heights, and lifestyles. Available in four styles, three lengths (short, regular, tall), and three colours (Black, Charcoal and Wine), each pair combines performance fabric with timeless tailoring.

With Natalie’s discerning eye and practical styling expertise, we were eager to see how our designs performed in everyday life - and to hear her candid feedback on the fit, fabric, and versatility.

Skinny Leg Pants

Natalie began with our Skinny Leg Pant in Charcoal, pairing it with the Elis Shirt in Graphite. She was immediately impressed by the Tech Stretch fabric’s four-way stretch, noting its mid-to-heavy weight density that offers structure without sacrificing comfort. The pockets, invisible front zip, and absence of a waistband caught her attention for their sleek, flattering effect. She particularly appreciated how the reinforced waistline and zip allowed her to tuck in a shirt without adding bulk. The result, she said, was a streamlined silhouette that felt “invincible” for all-day wear—ideal for going from the office to school pickups to running errands. This style delivered on both polish and practicality, blending the comfort of stretch with the elegance of tailored lines.

“The Tech Stretch Pant is your go-to for effortless polish. Think of it as the ultimate desk-to-anywhere style — comfortable for all-day at your desk, easy weekends, and travel. The signature Tech Stretch Ponte holds its shape all day while moving with you. The streamlined silhouette and smart detailing make it a staple you’ll reach for again and again.” - Natalie Angel (@letmetrybeforeyoubuy)

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...

“Perfect length and perfect fit. Just received the new look long length skinny pants in black, and for the first time, they are the perfect length on me. The fit is fabulous, the fabric beautifully comfortable, and the finish is excellent.” - S.B. (TAS)

Straight Leg Pants

Next, Natalie tried our Straight Leg Pant—her favourite fit. She loved how they were cut: straight but not clingy, with enough room at the calf to avoid the tightness she often experiences. The high-rise waistband, sitting just above the belly button, provided a secure, flattering fit. She praised the structure and stability of the fabric, as well as its crease resistance and machine washability—qualities that make them true wardrobe workhorses. Styled again with the Elis Shirt in Graphite, Natalie emphasised their versatility, noting they pair beautifully with flats, boots, or heels. She wore a size 14, describing the look as “tailored sophistication” rather than “sexy,” making them perfect for both professional and casual settings.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...

“Amazing fit, comfort, style and polish! … The fabric is divinely soft with lots of stretch, very flattering and looks so polished and elegant.” - Esme (VIC)

“Love the colour and fit of the wine straight leg pants. The waistband, zip and belt loops give them a polished finish.” - HH (SA)

Bootleg Pants

For her third look, Natalie chose our Bootleg Pant in Wine, styled with the Garcia Jacket. At 173 cm tall, she found the length ideal, with the hem sitting perfectly. Once again, she celebrated the Tech Stretch fabric’s four-way stretch, praising its balance of sturdiness and comfort. The bootleg cut, she said, offered a flattering, elongated line, while the rich Wine tone added a touch of depth and warmth to the outfit. Worn in a size 14, these pants delivered a tailored, polished vibe—ideal for clients, events, or occasions where a little extra elegance is called for. The Garcia Jacket brought structure and shape, making the look feel complete and intentional.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...

“Quality fabric that looks really stylish and is super comfortable. The 3 leg lengths are fantastic, being short it was a thrill to be able to wear these pants as soon as they arrived without having to take them up. The wine colour is lovely.” - SarahD (NSW)

“This is my second purchase of the Tech Stretch pants. I never imagined that a bootcut pant – in wine colour – could be so flattering! It fits so well. The material is soft, it doesn't crease, and very easy to care – just put it in the washing machine. LOVE IT!” - Diah (VIC)

Wide Leg Pants

Finally, Natalie tried our Wide Leg Pant in Charcoal and in Wine. She described them as the perfect partner for a current trend—chunky shoes. She liked the reinforced zip and noted the three-finger-wide waistband with belt loops, which opens up more styling possibilities. The back darts, she explained, are an essential tailoring detail, helping the pants fit securely and preventing them from sliding down. For her first look, Natalie styled them with the Elis Shirt for a relaxed feel. She then swapped to the Lyndon Jacket for a sharper, more polished effect, cinching the waist with a belt to enhance her silhouette. This style, she said, offered versatility and drama without compromising comfort.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...

“Finally, the pants that I don’t need to shorten. It is perfect! The material is soft on my sensitive skin and it doesn't crease. The look is very flattering, especially since I am a curvy, petite person.” - Jodie (VIC)

“Love these – so comfortable. I got the black ones as they are such a good staple and will be on high rotation. I will be getting more of these in future.” - L.G (NSW)

The Verdict

Natalie’s verdict? The Tech Stretch Pant Collection is a winner—not just for her, but for her audience. Her followers loved the designs, with many already loyal Leina + Fleur customers chiming in with their own glowing reviews. The combination of fit, fabric, and finish resonated with women seeking pieces that move with them, flatter their shape, and work seamlessly from day to night.
