We welcome our coveted new style Plus Fours - for the ladies!
There are many photographs from the 1920s, 30s and 40s showing ladies wearing plus fours - for what we can only imagine were driving adventures, country walks or many other outdoor pursuits! There are also plenty of examples in catalogues of the time such as Sears not to mention patterns still remaining.
These fit on the natural waist with a deep waist band and have belt loops for a decent belt if wearer wishes. We love the 4 button side fastening - making the plus fours really elegant. Single back pocket keeps the lines sleek and unbulky.
Fully lined in viscose for warmth - these are full and darted into the bottom cuff which has a slide fastening for personal adjustment. These are meant to side approx 4 inches from the knee but person judgement required for most flattering fit. Those with very long legs may find them more of a plus 2!
