Cropped Pant in French Navy F65 1348 by Mela Purdie
A cropped pant for work, weekends and travel
Cotton-rich Microprene gives the Cropped Pant a crisp finish without the weight of a heavier trouser. Lightweight and breathable, with stretch through the weave, it is a useful summer option when you want leg coverage and something smarter than denim.
The straight leg works with a loose shirt or a shorter knit, while the cropped length leaves room for loafers and sandals. Wear French Navy with white for lunch, or add a fluid blouse and a low heel for dinner.
Why You’ll Love It
- Cotton for warmer days. The cotton-rich fabric makes this a practical choice when you prefer trousers through summer.
- Stretch when you sit and move. Elastane gives the woven fabric flexibility.
- A simple pull-on waist. The elasticised waistband has no buttons or zip to fasten.
- A hem that works with flats. Small side splits finish the cropped leg above loafers or sandals.
- A familiar shape to return to. Part of Mela Purdie’s Core Essentials range.
Styling Tips
- Wear with a loose navy top and pale loafers, as shown in the photographs.
- Add a white linen shirt and tan sandals for lunch, leaving the shirt untucked.
- For work, pair with a simple top and an open jacket, keeping the cropped hem clear of your shoes.
Wearing French Navy
French Navy works with white for a clear summer contrast, or cream and tan for a softer combination. A navy top keeps the outfit tonal; a coloured blouse changes the mood without needing different trousers.
Also available in Black and White. Check the colour options for your size.
Where to Wear
For work, summer lunches and weekends when you want trousers with a more dressed finish. Pack them with flats for daytime and a blouse for dinner away.

What if I have received faulty items?
If your item develops a fault within 1 month of purchase, please email pip@weekends.com.au with your order number, a description of the fault & photograph/s showing the fault. We will send you a pre-paid postage label so that you can ship the item back to us. After the item has been inspected, we will decide if it can be repaired, or will need to be replaced or refunded. Refunds will only be offered if the item is found to be faulty and no like-for-like replacement is available.
Faulty goods
If the fault is minor, we will repair the item and return it to you at no cost.
If we can offer a like-for-like replacement, the new product will be sent to you at no cost.
If we are unable to offer a like-for-like replacement and you do not wish to exchange the item, we will provide a refund.
If the fault is major, we offer a refund, exchange or store credit. This is when the item:
- has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about the fault
- is unsafe
- is significantly different from the sample or description
differences in pattern placement to images on our website are due to standard manufacturing processes and are not considered "significantly different" and are therefore not considered a fault - doesn’t do what we said it would, or what you asked for and can’t be easily fixed
We will not accept faults caused by wear and tear, incorrect fit, or improper washing and/or drying of a garment.
