The key to the perfect pair of formal trousers, says designer and tailoring expert Lalage Beaumont, is to have an exceptionally good cut. Every customer is a different shape, not only when it comes to width but also leg length, so it requires a great deal of expertise to design trousers that are comfortable but also sit cleanly. All Lalage Beaumont trousers, in narrow or wide leg styles, can be worn as standalone pieces or with coordinating jackets, waistcoats and dress coats. Inevitably, some garments do need altering and Lalage ensures a generous turning at the waist to ensure this is possible, so please do visit us in our boutique so the expert team can pin your trousers and and show you how they would fit when altered. The Paloma and Phoebe styles are popular with customers of all shapes, especially as part of ladies' trouser suits for wedding guests. If you can’t find exactly what you are looking for, consider ordering a pair of made-to-measure trousers; Lalage keeps patterns for some of her customers so that they can re-order the same shape again, knowing the fit will be perfect. The British Royal Family's Zara Tindall favours the Lalage Beaumont Phoebe trousers in navy faille.
