Women's pants and jeans

Pre-owned women's jeans and trousers, from denim jeans and work trousers to cargo trousers, track pants and shorts.

Jeans

Jeans are made from denim, a sturdy cotton twill, and come in straight, relaxed and loose cuts. Denim softens and fades with wear, and those marks are stated in the condition description of the item.

Work trousers and cargo trousers

Work trousers are made from cotton canvas or a hard-wearing twill, with reinforced seams and deep pockets, and they are often worn loose with the hem turned up. Cargo trousers add large patch pockets on the thighs. Workwear trousers are usually cut on men's or unisex sizes, which gives a straight, roomy leg.

Track pants and shorts

Track pants are made from nylon or polyester, with an elastic waist and often a zip or ribbed cuffs at the ankle. Shorts come in denim and cotton, from cargo shorts to denim shorts.

Size and measurements

Trousers are sized as waist by inseam in inches, for example 30x30. The first number is the waist and the second is the length of the inside leg; for shorts, the second number is the length. A waist of 28 inches is about 71 cm. The measurements in the description are a better guide than the label, and the guide to measuring pit to pit explains how to measure a pair that is already worn.

Trousers for everyone are under trousers and jeans, and the men's range is under men's trousers and jeans. Women's workwear is under workwear for women, with the brand pages for Carhartt and Dickies.
