LaPointe Satin Pants: The Trousers That Go With Everything
LaPointe Satin Pants: The Trousers That Go With Everything
If LaPointe has a workhorse, it is the satin trouser. The house cuts it in more colours than any other piece, sells it beside almost every top it makes, and it is the garment that turns a LaPointe wardrobe from a collection of party pieces into something you wear every week. This guide covers the LaPointe satin trouser styles, how each one fits, and how to wear them from day to night.
Why are satin trousers worth buying?
Satin trousers sit at a rare point between comfort and polish. They feel like loungewear, they move like a skirt, and they look more dressed than any wool trouser. With a knit they are a working outfit; with a feathered top they are an evening outfit; with a matching satin top they are a full tonal column. Few garments cover that range.
The quality of the satin matters. A thin satin clings, shows every line and creases. LaPointe uses a heavier satin that hangs straight and moves in one piece, which is what makes the trouser look expensive.
The relaxed pleated pant
The house signature and the one to buy first. The Satin Relaxed Pleated Pant in Black sits at the natural waist with front pleats and a wide, straight leg. The pleats give room through the hip and make the leg fall cleanly. It comes in a long list of colours, including Chocolate, Cream, Indigo, Oat, Marine and Washed Silver.
Black is the obvious first choice. Chocolate is the more useful second: it works with black, cream and every warm colour.
The draped relaxed pant
The Satin Draped Relaxed Pant in Black has a draped front panel instead of pleats, so it looks softer and more fluid. It is the dressier of the two relaxed styles and works best with a fitted top, such as a bodysuit, so the drape is visible. It also comes in Sand and Dark Mauve.
The tapered pleated pant
For a slimmer line, the Satin Tapered Pleated Pant in Black narrows towards the ankle. It shows a shoe, which makes it the better choice with a pointed flat for day. It also comes in Marine.
The belted pant
The Satin Belted Pant in Cream comes with a self belt that marks the waist. White satin trousers are one of the most searched evening pieces, and a cream satin with a belt is the grown up answer: softer than pure white and easier to wear. The Satin Belted Cropped Pant in Black is the cropped version, and the Lightweight Satin Belted Pant in Steel is a metallic satin for evening.
How do you wear satin trousers?
Day: with a fine knit and a flat. A satin trouser with a merino crew is one of the easiest smart outfits there is.
Evening: with a feathered top and a heel. See our guide to LaPointe feather tops.
Tonal: with a satin top in the same colour. The Satin Cape Tee with the relaxed pleated pant is the house set, and our matching sets guide explains why it works.
Tailored: with the matching satin blazer for a satin suit. See the LaPointe satin suit.
How do LaPointe satin trousers fit?
The relaxed pants sit at the natural waist with volume through the leg. Take your usual size; if you are between sizes, size for the waist, since the leg is roomy. The tapered pant is closer through the leg. All the styles are cut long for a heel, so plan a hem if you will wear them with flats.
LaPointe uses US sizing from 00. Luxury Handbags shows the UK equivalent on every product page, and the LaPointe sizing guide has the full chart.
How do you care for satin trousers?
Dry clean. Hang them by the waistband on a clip hanger, so the leg hangs straight and the creases drop out. Steam from the inside before wearing. Avoid sitting on rough surfaces in a light colour; satin snags.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best LaPointe satin trousers?
The Satin Relaxed Pleated Pant is the house signature, with front pleats, a natural waist and a wide straight leg. It comes in many colours, with Black and Chocolate the most versatile.
How do you style satin trousers for day?
Wear satin trousers with a fine knit and a flat shoe. A satin trouser with a merino sweater is smart enough for an office and relaxed enough for the weekend.
Are satin pants appropriate for a wedding?
Yes, for most formal and cocktail weddings. Wear them with a dressed top in the same colour for a tonal column, and avoid white and cream as a guest.
Do LaPointe satin trousers run true to size?
Yes. The relaxed styles have volume through the leg, so size for the waist. The tapered style is closer through the leg. All are cut long for a heel and may need hemming for flats.
How do I stop satin trousers from creasing?
Hang them by the waistband on a clip hanger so the leg hangs straight, and steam them from the inside before wearing. A heavier satin, like the one LaPointe uses, creases less than a thin one.
Can you wear white satin trousers in winter?
Yes. A cream satin trouser with a cream knit and a camel coat is one of the most elegant winter outfits. Cream is softer than pure white and easier to wear in the colder months.

Costarellos Size Guide: FR to UK, US and EU Sizes, Measurements and Fit
Costarellos uses French sizing, from FR 34 to FR 46 in most styles and from FR 32 in some. To convert, take 28 off the French size for your UK size and a further 4 off for your US size, so FR 36 is a UK 8 and a US 4. Most styles fit true to size, with a few exceptions noted below.
