Reviews

Perfect, but run a little short if you’re tall

"I love my checkmate trousers I’ve had them for years, worn them consistently and they’ve lasted really well. They definitely fit true to size in the waist but I’m 5ft 9 and they come up just my leg and sit just slightly above a standard doc marten style boot so they’re a little short. I’m personally still giving them 5 stars because I do really like that look"

Ellie (5/5)

Great! But runs small

"I've always wanted pants like this! These are very nice, the fabric is soft and comfortable and not itchy. It looks and fits exactly like the picture. One issue I had was that I initially bought a size 6 as I'm a size 6 in every other bottoms I wear, but when they arrived they were super tight around the waist. I should have checked the size guide more thoroughly but I didn't think it'd be an issue considering my usual sizing. The plus is I sent them back and exchanged for a size 8 on the same day I received them and and had no issues with this. My exchange was processed the next day and I received the size 8 a day after that, so it was super quick and not fussy! The size 8 fit me perfectly and are very comfortable. Just a heads up that these pants seem to run smaller than most stores! :)"

Avery (4/5)

Unique

"These trousers are designed so wonderfully, they exude class yet they are able to make you stand out. Nothing boring about them. The fit is perfect, I found they ran just a tad bit smaller than other trousers from here, but not a terribly big difference. The little details are perfect like the plaid fabric inset on the pocket. I get so many compliments, I even had someone ask to take a picture. The fabric and quality craftsmanship are spot on as with all the clothing from here. And I’ve bought a lot. It’s becoming a slight obsession. If you’re on the fence about buying them just do it."

Laurie H. (5/5)

Fake back pockets

"Ugh I love these pants so much, but it just about broke my heart when I realized (after purchase) the back pockets are big ol FAKES! It’s honestly such a shame, for $80 I want all 4 pockets. I’m still keeping them because I look good in them, so it is what it is."

Sam (3/5)

Fantastic

"These trousers are really great. They look good with my green blazer for work."

Emma S. (5/5)

Best trousers ever

"I love these trousers so much! I'm 5 ft 3 and have big thighs and a smaller waist so always have to be careful with trousers but these fit like a dream. I wear them for work and get so many compliments."

Alexandra M. (5/5)

Absolutely gorgeous trousers!

"They look amazing, I’ve had so many compliments! The fit is perfect, they’re very comfortable and I love the pockets."

Hayley W. (5/5)

Half and Half trousers

"Absolutely love these,so comfortable and look awesome! Can honestly say they're the best fitting trousers I've had, perfect length as well, which is great when you're really small like me 😅"

Kelly H. (5/5)

Perfect

"Amazing trousers, fabric is excellent, I love them!"

Michela (5/5)

Q&A

I do love the spliced pant legs, but I'm wondering these style pants are ever available in just the green and black check pattern?
Hi there, Thank you for your question! We don't have this specific style in the full print, but the closest I can find would be our Bittersweet Check Pants which you can find on our website. I hope this helps!
Do you know when you’ll have these fully restocked!?
Hi Jess, The Checkmate High Waist Tapered Trousers are available in all sizes now.
Bonsoir, est-ce que le pull avec l’araignée ci dessus est en stock ?
Hey Maud, We don't have another restock date planned at the moment but, if you hit the 'notify me when available' button we'll be able to email you in future when they are back in stock again, or available to pre-order!
I’m pretty tall. 5’10”. Will these be long enough?
Hi Katrina, I would recommend using the 'whats my size' to calculate which size you would need.
