The Perfect Trouser
So much is written about creating the ultimate capsule wardrobe and with such an abundance of choice out there, it sounds complex and confusing, trust me, it’s really simple. Identifying the building blocks, the wear-on-repeat staples, is key. My starting point would always be the perfect black trouser and the oh so chic Melyr Amalfi wide-leg trouser (more later) is my absolute wardrobe essential, my failsafe, my ‘uniform’.
Let’s first explore the vast and bewildering world of trousers. It’s understandable why so many women with real-life proportions give up on finding their perfect pair. The whole trying-on experience can be soul-destroying and confidence-sapping, exactly why Amy founded Melyr. Navigating the numerous fits and styles is tricky and time-consuming. Recognising and embracing your uniquely beautiful body shape and curves is a learning process we all go through, painfully at times. Before we get into the finer detail of style and fit, let’s talk about why Melyr trousers are different.

MELYR TROUSER FITS AND STYLES
There are so many different fits and styles of trousers, sometimes with confusing descriptions, often without any styling tips or meaningful advice for varying body shapes. Let’s simplify.
Amalfi Wide-Leg Trouser
The Amalfi from Melyr is a luxuriously chic and timeless palazzo trouser that flatters most body shapes and offers versatile styling options (more later). Featuring our signature MELYFLEX band, it hugs and smooths the waist and hips before easing into a fluid, flattering wide-leg. Crafted from 4-way stretch fabric, elasticated-waist trousers have never looked or felt so fabulous. Do not feel excluded from this modern forever classic because you imagine it won’t work for you. It’s simply about creating balance and definition to suit your unique figure.
Sienna Slim Leg Trouser
Sienna from Melyr is a time honoured, classic cigarette-leg trouser that tapers beautifully to graze the ankle. A universally flattering, sleek silhouette that works for most body shapes, across the size range and has multiple styling options (more later). Naturally featuring our game-changing MELYRFLEX band and crafted from 4-way stretch fabric, this trouser smooths, sculpts, lengthens the leg and is a true wardrobe staple, an effortless on/off-duty essential, stylish women’s workwear personified.
High-Waisted Trousers
Amalfi and Sienna from Melyr are both in high-waist styles. The signature, 4-way stretch, MELYRFLEX band is designed to glide over the hips and sit neatly on the waist, smoothing and defining without nippy zips or buttons. Our clever faux waistband sits just beneath the band and offers easy styling options. High-waisted trousers are flattering and forgiving, especially for curvy figures, whether you’re looking for the ultimate in-stretch work trousers or pm glamour. No need to sacrifice comfort for style, they work in harmony in Melyr game-changing, confidence-building trousers.
EMBRACE YOUR BODY SHAPE
There are so many labels—apple, pear, plus-size, hippy, hourglass, out-size, top-heavy, skinny, athletic, etc. etc. We are not naive enough to think it’s completely irrelevant, but let’s not be pigeonholed by them.
Our beautifully evolving bodies are unique, whether postpartum, perimenopausal, struggling with illness or disability, or just living life to the full. The innovative MELYRFLEX band has been designed to do the heavy lifting, take the strain if you like, regardless of body shape. Melyr trousers sit neatly on the waist—the smoothing, sculpting designs elongate the leg, creating a flawless silhouette. Feel the magic of MELYRFLEX and free your waist.
The vast majority of our amazing ladies in the MELYRMovement who have been fit testing our trousers for the last couple of years, find both Amalfi and Sienna supremely flattering and comfortable. Many had given up on trousers completely, they fell back in love, especially for those blessed with curves. Avoid anything too big, baggy and square that hangs shapelessly from the bust.
Our founder Amy, (FF boobs) in her go-to workwear uniform, black Amalfis and whisper soft Aimee jersey top. The batwing shape skims and flatters without a hint of cling, the deep hip band gently hugs, adding shape and definition to balance and showcase the wide-leg. Perfect fusion of modern elegance and freedom of movement.
Layer-up with a statement blazer, classic camel coat or timeless trench. Elevate your am/pm edit with our delicious French tucked Ava shirt. Ring the changes with a cool trainer, sassy Mary-Janes, sleek loafer, kitten or killer heel. When in doubt, less is more, keep it simple.
Balance the slim, tapered Sienna cigarette-leg trouser with wide, elbow-length kimono sleeves. Our hero Nico longline top perfectly skims curves. The deep hip band accentuates and complements the flattering lean silhouette. Team with our sumptuous Helena boyfriend v next jumper for work-to-weekend relaxed, carefree elegance.
