Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Houston Slim Leg Chinos are a refined addition to any professional female wardrobe, merging the comfort of casual wear with the sharp silhouette required for the modern workplace. Part of the Sophisticated Collection, these trousers are designed for those who require a polished appearance without the stiffness of traditional formal tailoring. The contemporary slim-fit design ensures a sleek look that remains comfortable throughout a demanding working day.
Key Features
- The slim leg cut provides a modern and professional silhouette that complements a variety of footwear and corporate tops.
- Equipped with side pockets, these chinos offer practical storage for small essential items while you are on the move.
- Twin hip jett pockets at the rear maintain the garment's streamlined look, avoiding the bulk of traditional external pockets.
- The stretch waistband is a critical design element, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit that adapts to your movements throughout the day.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a high-quality blend of 97% cotton and 3% elastane, these chinos are made from a breathable, lightweight fabric that is ideal for indoor environments and warmer seasons. The high cotton content provides a natural feel and superior breathability, while the elastane provides the necessary stretch to maintain the slim-leg shape without restricting movement. This fabric combination ensures that the trousers retain their form even after extended wear, preventing the 'bagging' at the knees often found in inferior cotton garments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To elevate your brand identity, these chinos can be expertly customised by our Telford-based team. Embroidery is the recommended choice for these trousers, providing a crisp and durable finish for corporate logos or staff names, typically positioned subtly on the waistband or hip area. For larger, more vibrant branding, our high-quality print services are also available. Having operated since 1976, we understand the technical requirements of applying branding to cotton-rich fabrics to ensure a finish that is both professional and long-lasting.
Use Cases
The Houston Slim Leg Chinos are an ideal choice for front-of-house staff, hospitality teams, and retail professionals who need to maintain a smart, approachable appearance. They are equally suited for corporate office environments where a 'business casual' dress code is in effect, providing a versatile alternative to standard formal trousers.

Practical Advice
The slim leg design is tailored for a closer fit; for reference, the half hem width at size 12R is 18cm. We recommend pairing these chinos with a tucked-in blouse or a tailored shirt to fully showcase the streamlined waistband and pocket detailing. If you are considering these for a larger team, the stretch waistband provides a helpful degree of flexibility across different body shapes.
Caring for your product
These trousers are designed to be machine washable, making them a practical choice for daily workwear. To maintain the fabric's integrity and the vibrancy of the colour, it is essential to follow the specific temperature instructions on the care label. Consistent washing at the correct temperature will also help preserve the elastane fibres, ensuring the trousers maintain their stretch and recovery properties over time.
We advise against the use of bleach or aggressive detergents, as these can break down the cotton fibres and lead to premature wear. For the best results, wash the garment inside out to protect any custom embroidery or print, and air dry where possible to minimise shrinkage and maintain the slim-fit silhouette.
