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.

Meet MELYRFLEX

From the outset Melyr embarked on a pioneering mission to fix problems and find solutions. The grown-up female body has never been the problem – ill fitting, restrictive waistbands that pinched and pressured were the issue and out-dated sizing norms of the mainstream fashion industry didn’t help either. The innovative MELYRFLEX band is a game-changer. Crafted from 4-way stretch performance sportswear fabric, it harnesses the technology of premium gymwear with the elegance and femininity of contemporary tailoring. MELYRFLEX glides over the hips, sits securely at the waist, smoothes and sculpts the silhouette. A clever faux waistband sits just below the band for versatile styling.  Melyr was determined to liberate women, celebrate movement and free the waist. The flawless fusion of ageless style and unrivalled comfort being a brand pillar and the key to confidence.

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. 

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 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. 

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 high waisted 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

So many labels – apple, pear, plus-size, hippy, hour-glass, out-size, top heavy, skinny, athletic, etc. etc. We are not naive enough to think it’s completely irrelevant, but let’s not be pigeon-holed by them. 

Our beautifully evolving bodies are unique, whether post partum, peri-menopausal, struggling with illness, 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, especiall
