Loose Cotton Trousers

For a laid-back day look, pair wide-leg loose cotton trousers with a simple tee and trainers for an effortless vibe. Dress them up with a silk blouse, blazer and loafers for smart-casual occasions. For weekends, team jogger-style cotton trousers with a cosy knit and a longline cardigan creates a comfortable, chic ensemble. A cropped top and a fitted cardigan can balance a high-waisted, wide-leg pair for a fashion-forward city look.

Spring: Light knits or cotton blouses with a fresh pastel or neutral tone trouser; add a lightweight trench for a polished walk to the market. Summer: Breathable cotton trousers in ivory, khaki or stone with a linen shirt and sandals for easygoing days. Autumn: Layer with a longline cardigan, cropped jumper and ankle boots for a cosy yet put-together look. Winter: Thick tights under a cropped pair or pair of heavier cotton trousers with a wool-blend jumper and knee-high boots for warmth and style.

Choose from classic neutrals such as black, navy, stone and camel, or add a touch of colour with sage, olive, terracotta or soft blue. The textures range from smooth cotton drill to breathable cotton-linen blends, offering a balance of structure and drape. Look for finishes that resist creasing for an effortlessly neat appearance, and consider mid-weight fabrics for year-round versatility. All Stradivarius loose cotton trousers are crafted with comfort and ease in mind, including soft waistbands, breathable linings and easy-care finishes.

• If you’re between sizes, opt for the larger waist to ensure a comfortable, knee-free stride.
• Wide legs benefit from a tailored top to balance proportions; tuck in a shirt or wear a fitted knit to define your silhouette.
• Look for a softly elasticated waistband or drawcord for easy adjustability without sacrificing line.
• For taller frames, a longer inseam creates graceful drape; for petite frames, a cropped length offers a chic, proportionate look.
• Carefully consider fabric weight; lighter weights are perfect for spring and summer, heavier options work well in autumn and winter.

• Wash on a cool or warm cycle with similar colours to prevent colour transfer.
• Line dry when possible to maintain shape and drape; iron on a medium setting if needed.
• Avoid over-drying to prevent creases; remove promptly and smooth by hand.
• Use a gentle detergent and consider colour-safe options for darker tones.
• Store folded or on a hanger to preserve the natural crease pattern and avoid stretching.

• Soft, tailored wide legs with high-rise silhouettes for an elongated look.
• Cropped lengths in neutral tones paired with chunky sandals or heeled mules.
• Cotton-linen blends with breathable comfort, ideal for transitional weather.
• Minimalists favour easy-care finishes with subtle texture for depth.

For a simple street-style look, combine a pair of loose cotton trousers with a plain tee, a light jacket and clean trainers. Elevate a workday look with a crisp shirt, a structured blazer and loafers. Bags and jewellery can be kept minimal for a clean, contemporary feel, or add a statement belt to add interest to a monochrome ensemble. The key is balance: if your trousers are voluminous, choose a fitted top; if your top is loose, add a belt or structured outerwear to define your shape.

Spring: Lightweight knit with a simple blouse and the lightest pair of cotton trousers to keep the look fresh. Summer: A cropped top and sandals with breathable cotton trousers; add a sun-friendly hat for a stylish outdoor vibe. Autumn: A fine wool jumper and a cardigan layered over a tee; finish with ankle boots for a comfortable, fashion-forward outfit. Winter: A thermal top or turtleneck underneath a chunky knit with a high-waisted, darker-toned trouser; pair with knee-high boots to maintain warmth and style.

Yes. Loose cotton trousers remain a versatile staple, with trends favouring relaxed fits, soft drape and natural tones. Minimalist silhouettes, comfortable fabrics and practical detailing continue to be on-trend for everyday wear and smart-casual occasions. Timeless colours and easy-care fabrics keep loose cotton trousers a reliable choice throughout the seasons.

Comfort hinges on fit, fabric weight and waistband design. Look for trousers with a soft, non-restrictive waistband, breathable cotton or cotton blends, and a cut that drapes without clinging. When choosing size, consider waist and hip measurements, and refer to our size guide for length inseams and fit notes. If you’re between sizes, sizes with a slight give or a drawstring waist can provide the best balance of comfort and silhouette. For Stradivarius, the emphasis is on relaxed silhouettes that move with you, not against you.
