Pants that feel like you, not a dress code. From breezy linen to utility cargo and chilled relaxed fits, our women’s pants are made for real life—campus days, late-night gigs, lastâminute plans. We design for Gen Z style on the daily: easy to wear, easy to move, easy to make your own. Think soft linen that lets your skin breathe, cargos with pockets that actually help, and relaxed cuts that give you room to live. Zero fuss, max comfort, all the personality.
Pants
Let’s talk line-up. Our women’s pants span linen, cargo and relaxed silhouettes because comfort and expression shouldn’t be a tradeâoff. Linen pants keep it cool when temps climb. The fabric’s naturally breathable, so you get that airy drape without the cling. Ours come in wide-leg and straight cuts with drawstring or elastic waists that sit where you want—high, mid, or a little lower on the hips. Translation: throw them on and go from beach walk to brunch to lecture without outfit drama.
Cargos bring the energy with function built in. We’re talking soft-yet-strong fabrics, roomy legs, and utility details that work hard but don’t look try-hard. Adjustable hems let you toggle between stacked and cinched. Deep pockets carry the essentials—phone, lippy, student card—so your hands stay free. Prefer the late-’90s look? We’ve got low-rise cargo pants that sit on the hips and pair with baby tees like they were made for each other. Want more leg length or a cleaner line? Mid and high rises are in the mix too, ready for a crop, a tank, or an oversized button-up.
Relaxed pants are where comfort goes polished. These are the soft-tailored styles with an easy drape and plenty of movement. The fabric does the heavy lifting, so you look put-together without feeling boxed in. If you’re chasing a tailored vibe minus the stiffness, our relaxed and tailored pants play nice with blazers, knits, and sneakers. You get the sharp line and wide-leg sweep, but with waistbands that flex and fabrics that breathe. Work, class, date night—change the top, keep the pants.
Trackpants round out the rotation for off-duty days and on-the-go mornings. Ours are cut to be worn out of the house: clean finishes, comfy waistbands, and cuffs or wide hems that sit right over your sneakers. They’re soft, they’re easy, and they’re made for those 7am coffee runs and 11pm study sessions.
Fit-wise, inclusivity comes standard. We design sizes to fit more bodies, with rises and leg lengths that work across shapes. The idea is simple: pants that move with you—not against you. Fabrics feel good straight out of the bag and get better with wear. Care’s easy, too. Most styles are machine-wash friendly and ready for a repeat wear without a whole ironing saga. Proudly Aussie at heart, our pants come in colours you can build a wardrobe on—calm neutrals, soft pastels, and statement shades when you want your fit to pop.
How to style Pants seasonally?
Summer calls for linen. Go wide-leg linen pants with a fitted tank or a cropped tee and sandals. Add a lightweight button-up worn open for sun-safe layering that still feels breezy. For nights out, swap sandals for strappy heels and tuck in a silky cami—the linen keeps you cool on the dance floor, the wide leg gives you flow.
When it’s spring or that in-between season, cargo pants do the most. Pair low-rise cargo pants with a baby tee and an oversized shirt for layers you can peel off as the day warms up. Cinch the hems for a sneaker moment or let them stack over chunky loafers. A rib knit or lightweight cardi adds texture without heat. Relaxed tailored pants also shine here; tuck in a graphic tee, throw on a blazer, and you’ve got soft suiting that reads smart and stays comfy.
Autumn and winter are for cozy layers and heavier textures. Try relaxed tailored pants with a knit and a trench for a clean, city-ready look that still lets you move. For campus or weekend errands, lean on cargo pants with a hoodie and a bomber or puffer. Add high socks and your favourite trainers. Trackpants earn their spot too: choose a tonal set and a long coat for that elevated-athleisure vibe that looks intentional, not lazy. If you’re into low-rise fits but chasing warmth, layer a longline ribbed tank under your knit so the waist peeks just right without freezing you out.
Year-round, the trick is balance. Wide-leg linen likes fitted tops. Relaxed and tailored pants love structure up top—blazers, cropped knits, button-downs. Cargo pants handle volume both ways: go small on top for that early-’00s energy or keep it oversized for a slouchy, street feel. Your shoes set the tone—sandals for summer ease, sneakers for everyday, boots to sharpen it up.
What Women’s Pants are trending with Gen Z right now?
Linen wide-legs are having a moment because they tick every box: breezy, minimal effort, instantly elevated. Drawstring waists and elastic backs keep things comfortable while the full-length hem puddles just enough over sneakers or sandals. Expect natural hues—oat, stone, black—and the occasional soft colour pop.
Parachute-style cargo pants are big too. Think ultra-light fabric, adjustable toggles, and plenty of pocket action. Low-rise cargo pants keep the throwback energy alive, especially with baby tees and cropped hoodies. If you want a little more coverage, mid-rise cargos with a straight leg give the same attitude with extra ease.
Relaxed tailored pants are the new going-out hero. Soft tailoring means you get the silhouette of suiting without the stiff feel. A pleated front and a wide leg look fresh with a tiny top and statement belt. Pinstripes and clean neutrals feel modern and work day-to-night—lecture hall to late dinner without a change.
Trackpants go beyond the couch now. Wide-leg and straight-leg trackpants with a neat waistband are trending because they style up fast. Add a fitted tank and a leather jacket, and you’re out the door. Co-ords are big here—match your trackpants with a zip-through or crew and finish with chunky sneakers.
Low-rise across the board is back—especially in cargo pants—but it’s about choice, not rules. We’re here for whatever rise makes you feel good. Relaxed fits are the throughline: roomy legs, easy waists, and fabrics that move with you. It’s all about pants that flex with your day, your mood, your plans.
At Cotton On, your pants are more than a base layer. They’re the main character. Whether you’re grabbing linen for that long, hot day, cargo for pockets and personality, or a relaxed tailored pair to level up without trying, you’ll find fits that feel right and look better. Wear them your way, all day.
