A pair of women's black wide-leg chino trousers can be a practical wardrobe staple for the office, everyday wear and smart-casual outfits. However, not every pair of black trousers looks like the product photo in real life. A waistband that's too loose, an unclear leg length or fabric that hangs differently than expected could leave your purchase unworn in the wardrobe.
So don't focus only on the colour and trend. Pay particular attention to the sizing, material and how the trousers will work with the rest of your wardrobe.
Sizes such as 26, 27, 30, 32, 33 and 34 can refer to different sizing systems. One retailer may use waist measurements in inches, while another uses its own size chart. High-waisted women's trousers may also fit more snugly around the waist than regular-rise trousers, even when they have the same size number.
Before buying, check:
So don't assume that a size 32 will fit like every other size 32.
According to the product descriptions for the Urban Classics styles, the chinos are made from lightweight, breathable material. This gives you an idea of how comfortable they may be, but doesn't tell you exactly which fibres are used, how the fabric drapes or how sheer the black colour may look in bright light.
When choosing lightweight women's trousers, check the fabric composition, care label and product photos. Under European textile information rules, the fibre composition should be clearly stated. Thin fabric can feel comfortable in warmer weather, but may need more careful washing and ironing.
Women's wide-leg trousers have extra room from the hip or thigh down. This can make them look longer and cause them to fall over your shoes. That's not always practical when cycling, in wet weather or if you often use the stairs.
Consider how your height compares with the trouser length. If you usually wear flat shoes, a shorter hem may be more practical. With boots or shoes with a small heel, a longer, flowing leg often works better.
A pair of high-waisted women's trousers should sit higher on your waist than a regular-rise style. This can create a more defined waist when paired with a tucked-in shirt or blouse. Check that the waistband still feels comfortable when you sit down, though. Trousers that fit well when you're standing may feel uncomfortable when you're seated.
Look for a full fabric composition rather than general descriptions such as “comfortable” or “soft”. Also check:
The available product information for the Urban Classics chinos describes them as lightweight and breathable. Check the product page for the exact fibre composition and care instructions before ordering.
Women's black chinos are generally a little dressier than joggers, but less formal than tailored trousers. The combination of a high waist and wide legs works well with a fitted top, cropped blazer or tucked-in shirt. For a casual look, pair them with trainers and a T-shirt. For the office, try loafers, a blouse and a structured cardigan.
Black makes these trousers easy to wear in a range of outfits, but check that the pockets, fastening and waistband suit your everyday needs.

According to the product description: lightweight, breathable material, a high waist and wide legs.
Why it suits this shopper: Size 30 is a practical choice if you're looking for black women's trousers that work with both a blouse and a T-shirt.

Why it suits this shopper: This size option may suit you if you need more room around the waist and hips and find wide legs comfortable for a long working day.
Choosing a larger size won't automatically give you a better fit. Compare the waist, hip and length measurements with your own to avoid a waistband that's too loose or legs that are too long.
According to the product description: a high waist, wide-leg silhouette and lightweight material for everyday wear.
We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Elegant black trousers with wide legs look their best when the top half of your outfit is relatively fitted. Try:
Pay attention to the leg length when choosing shoes. A wide hem can catch on low-profile shoes or get wet on a rainy cycle ride.
That depends on the dress code and the finish of the style. Plain black chinos with a smart blouse, blazer and closed-toe shoes are often suitable for a smart-casual workplace. Check that the fabric doesn't look too thin or sporty for your office.
Measure your waist where the waistband will sit, then measure your hips at the widest point. Compare both measurements with the size chart on the product page. Wide-leg styles have roomier legs, but the waist can still fit closely.
Their lifespan depends on the fabric, how often you wear them, and how you wash and dry them. Follow the care label, turn the trousers inside out and don't use a higher temperature than recommended. Rotating them with other trousers will generally help keep the fabric in good condition for longer.
