A wide leg with just enough shape

Subtle barrel shaping gives the Wide Cross Pant a more considered silhouette.

The Mela Purdie Wide Cross Pant in Dream has the width of a wide-leg trouser, with panel seams creating a gentle curve through the leg. The Lightweight Microprene fabric is a crisp, cotton-rich woven blend with stretch, so the shape keeps its definition without feeling rigid.

An elasticated waistband makes the fit easy to pull on, while hip pockets sit neatly into the design. The ankle-length hem keeps the volume off the ground. In pale Dream blue, the fabric brings a clean alternative to darker trousers.

Why It Works

  • Subtle barrel shaping: panel seams add structure to the wide leg without a sharply tapered hem.
  • Stretch-woven Microprene: the cotton-rich fabric has a crisp finish with movement.
  • Elasticated waistband: a pull-on fit without a rigid fastening.
  • Hip pockets: practical storage kept close to the side seams.
  • Ankle length: gives the wider shape a defined finish above footwear.
