Abercrombie’s Sloane Trousers Are the Best Wide-Legs I’ve Tried

Brace yourself, for I am about to say something shocking: Up until relatively recently I didn’t wear trousers. I owned about two pairs of jeans which, yes, I relied on for casual outings, but as far as actual trousers go, I had one black style shoved to the back of a drawer that I only really brought into daylight when it was absolutely necessary.

I put the years of trouser neglect down to a few things 1) I’m petite in height, and any trousers I seemed to try were far, far too long. And 2) I have a very defined hourglass shape—a small waist and very shapely hips, bum and thighs. This combination always inevitably required a trip to the tailors to get the right trouser fit and this seemed a superfluous step to make trousers that I wasn’t all that fussed about in the first place work better on my frame. So, I did the thing any time-poor person who already has a wardrobe filled with pretty dresses and skirts would do—I gave up the search for a decent pair of wide-leg trousers. However, as of this month, everything changed.
