The L&F Pant Bible
Find Out Which Pant Shape Is for You With L&F’s Essential Pants for Women Style Guide
As a woman, shopping for pants can be a minefield. Aside from the limited size ranges often on offer in stores, there's the matter of whether or not they fit your shape and your proportions to consider too. Whether you're a size 22 woman looking for well-fitting pants or a petite height woman looking for well-proportioned pants, the journey is often one of frustration more than pleasure.
We Hear You!
As a size inclusive brand, we have women of all shapes and sizes coming to us for solutions. With over 10 years of experience under our belts, we understand that just because 10 women might all shop the same style of pant in a size 18 for example, it doesn't mean that same pant will fit each of the women in the same way. Within a single dress size, heights can vary dramatically. That is why we don't just offer a wide size range, we offer a comprehensive range of styles and lengths as well.
But with so many great-looking pant styles to choose from, where do you start? Right here of course, with the Essential Pants for Women Style Guide, a complete breakdown of capsule wardrobe worthy pants in all of their length options. So whether you're tall, regular or petite height or whether you prefer full length or cropped pants, let this be your L&F pant bible.
Straight Leg: Monroe Pant
Best-Selling Pants for Petite, Regular & Tall Heights
A pant that does it all, there's a reason why these straight-cut, wide leg pants are our best-sellers! With a deep, pull-on waistband and the soft Dry Touch Jersey fabrication, the Monroe Pant is super comfortable for all-day wear.
Thanks to their exceptional cut and the high quality fabric, these full-length pants glide elegantly to the feet, elongating the silhouette.
Available in sizes 8 to 24 and tall, regular and petite lengths, these classic pants come in Black and Navy colourways. They're a capsule wardrobe hero - great as workwear pants and comfortable for casual wear, they translate perfectly as chic black evening trousers too.
"The Perfect Length"
LENGTHS FOR ALL HEIGHTS
"At a curvy 171cms with a long body and very short legs, I had despaired of ever finding a flattering black pant I could wear with flat shoes. NOW I HAVE THEM! Monroe Petite Pants are the perfect length, falling just below the ankle but not grazing the floor. Thank you! And properly petite ladies do not be discouraged - my leg length is only 98cms despite my height." - T.S. (VIC)
Tapered Leg: Ashton Pant & Tobie Pant
Jersey Pants With Stretch Comfort
Great travel pants, the relaxed fit of both the Ashton and Tobie Pants' boosts the comfort factor. Featuring a pull-on waistband with front pleats, side pockets and a dropped crotch below, these are the ultimate casual pants.
In Dry Touch Jersey, the full-length Ashton Pant drapes elegantly to the feet. While the cropped length Tobie Pant makes a good casual pant for petite heights.
"Perfect Pants for Work & Play"
PETITE HEIGHT FRIENDLY
"[The Tobie Pants are] perfect pants for work, play and travel. I now have these fabulous pants in 3 colours, they are the perfect length on my petite height. Love them." - T.R.R. (NSW)
