Simple and comfortable, the Benita trousers will be your go-to this winter! These easy wearing trousers feature an elasticated waistband and straight leg. As far as length and style go, there are options galore: casual or chic, full length or cropped culottes...anything goes! Add flair with a festive bow at the waistband.

Fabric advice

Depending on the look you want, there are a variety of fabric options to choose from. For an athleisure look, use stable interlock, French terry or sweatshirt knit. Elevate Benita to evening wear with a velour jersey, ribbed jersey or even a woven crepe with a print. Choose a fabric that moves with the body.
