Straight Pants

Women's straight leg pants

Straight leg pants are the classic office trouser: the same width from the hip to the hem, full length and clean in line. They are the easiest cut to wear, the easiest to pair, and the one most people buy again. Forcast straight pants come in sizes 4 to 18.

What is in the range

The Lauren Straight Pants, Jordan Straight Leg Pants and Hadley Straight Leg Pants are the tailored core of the collection. The Nikki Mid Rise Straight Pants sit a little lower on the waist; the Zoe Elastic Pinstripe Pants and Maggie Elastic Waist Pants trade a fixed waistband for stretch. The Loretta Straight Check Pants bring a pattern into an otherwise plain range.

Wearing them

A straight leg goes with almost anything. Tuck in a shirt from work tops, add a matching blazer for meetings, or wear a knit top on quieter days. The hem sits well over both flats and heels, which is why straight pants travel so well between the office and the weekend.

Fabric and fit

The tailored styles are cut in suiting blends with a little stretch, so they keep their line after a day of sitting. Elastic-waist styles have more ease through the waist. Measurements are on the size guide. For a narrower leg, see slim pants; for more movement, wide pants. Returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days, online or in any store.
