Plus Size Pants & Jeans

      Compare the waistband and leg shape separately

      Choosing plus size pants in Australia becomes more straightforward when you separate the fit through the body from the shape of the leg. Start with the waistband, rise and room through the seat and thighs. Then decide whether you want a tapered, straight or wider line below that point. Jeans and woven trousers can give a similar outline while feeling quite different to wear, so compare the actual fabric and fit details.

      Think about the tops and shoes you already use with your trousers. A longer shirt may work with one rise and leg shape, while a shorter top may make another waistband more useful. Compare Mela Purdie, Joseph Ribkoff, Lania the Label and Madly Sweetly, using each product’s fabric, fit and care details to narrow your choice. Use the individual size chart, particularly when a label uses an overseas size number. Check the available size in your chosen colour and try the trousers while seated. The useful pair is the one that fits the job you want it to do, from everyday dressing to a more considered outfit.

      Plus Size Pants & Jeans Frequently Asked Questions

      The fastening and the overall fit are separate details. A pull-on pant can still sit quite close through the hips or thighs, while another may have a fuller cut. Read the fit notes, compare measurements and consider the fabric’s stated stretch before choosing from the available sizes.
      Begin with the same waist and hip measurements, then look at each garment’s rise, fabric and leg shape. Consider the top and shoes you want to wear with it. A familiar size number does not guarantee the same fit between denim and another cloth, even within one label.
      Compare your waist and hip measurements with the label’s chart and read the rise and fit notes. Look at the room through the seat and thigh as well as the leg shape. Try sitting and bending, then check the hem with the shoes you intend to wear most often.
      Assess the hem with the shoes you plan to wear, as a change in sole or heel height can change where it sits. Use any stated inseam or garment measurement as a guide. If considering alterations, settle the fit through the waist and hips before deciding the final length.
      Use each pair’s care label rather than a single routine for the whole collection. Check washing, drying and ironing instructions, particularly where a fabric has stretch, a coating or a surface detail. Read the product’s care information before buying so you can choose trousers that suit your usual maintenance routine.
