Elie Tahari The Brenda Belt Detail High Waist Wide Leg Pants

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Brenda belts the room with a city-sleek ease: a wool-blend that feels substantial yet soft, cut high on the waist and flowing into a generous wide leg. The front belt detailing adds a crisp, directional accent, while the wool and polyester blend lends a refined drape that holds its crease from desk to after hours. With a 30 1/2 inch inseam, a 21 1/2 inch leg opening, and an 11 1/2 inch front rise, the silhouette reads as true wide-leg and floor-length ready.

In real life, the fit leans into easy proportions. The high rise and front pleats give generous space through the hip and thigh, so movement feels natural as you step. A hidden zip keeps the front clean while the waistband belt brings in the shape at the smallest point. The inseam creates a graceful full-length fall, and the wide hem remains expansive without dragging. It layers beautifully with tucked-in blouses, silk shirts, or knit sweaters and sits neatly under a blazer for day-long polish.

Elie Tahari translates city tailoring into wearable elegance, and The Brenda embodies that balance of structure and ease. Pair with a crisp shirt and pointy-toe pumps for office confidence, or with a satin blouse and heeled sandals for evening polish. The belt detail nods to modern suiting cues while the soft wool-blend keeps the look approachable and versatile across seasons.
