Women's high-waisted trousers

Higher than the natural waist, high-waisted trousers reshape the torso. Soeur uses them to lengthen the leg, define the curve of the back and structure the silhouette without constraining it. Within our trousers collection, it comes in straight, relaxed, pleated or in denim, in supple fabrics: poplin, waffle cotton, wool gabardine, linen twill. A cut that transforms the silhouette without imposing any particular gesture.

A cut that shapes the silhouette

The high waist places the belt above the navel, sometimes at the last rib. It gains elegance on hourglass or pear-shaped figures, where it cinches the waist and smooths the stomach. On a straighter silhouette, it creates a defined curve without compressing the upper body. In terms of cuts, high-waisted trousers work equally well in a cigarette version or with a wide, flared leg. Pleated styles add volume at the hips, ideal for those looking to balance a fuller top.

What length to choose for high-waisted trousers?

The high waist calls for a precise length. Too short, the trousers cut the leg; too long, they break the elongating effect. For a cigarette or straight version, one aims for the ankle, or half a centimetre above. For a wider style, the length falls on the instep, or just covers it. The straight trousers high-waisted remains the simplest reference point, to be worn with derbies or flat sandals. The black trousers high-waisted, in wool gabardine, accompanies more formal appointments, while a jeans denim high-waisted suits the weekend.
