PLEASE...help me find some green jeans/chinos - not skinny

[Mummyinthedark]

I have looked and looked and looked. Want some green chino/casual trousers/jeans. Love the emerald green that came through a couple of years ago when colour blocking first came to the high st.
The problem is I can't get on with skinnies. I'm quite tall and reasonably slim but have chunky thighs and find skinnies look awful. Bootcut, wide leg or flares do it for me. I'm usually a 10, 8 in some shops.
Anyone seen anything? I have spend hours on line and in the shops. I'm in London so loads of places I can get to.
Thanks for any ideas.

Gap have some coloured chinos not sure about bright green but they definately have bright blue...

[Mummyinthedark]

I saw the Zara ones on one of their tables and picked them up and thought the shape didn't work but they look very good in this pic...may trundle back there. Brilliant shop, I love it.
I still want more of a jeans type green pair though. I have seen the Gap ones, tried to find my size today and couldn't so gave up and got on the bus! They are a khaki, not as trendy as the bright green but might work for holidays, Saturdays and so on.
thanks --- any more??

[Mummyinthedark]

good colour - but skinny. Quite a few like this around. Making me i can't carry them off.

[warmandwooly]

Have a look at the whole of George at Asda. The site closed before I could look!
Dorthy perkins?

[warmandwooly]

..Because I am on my phone and it was too large a site.
What about Wallis? Mango? French connection? Henry holland for Debenhams?

[Mummyinthedark]

Have tried Mango, FC, everything in Debenhams. Haven't bought anything in Wallis for years, it always looks dreary. Do I need to reappraise?

[pigsmightnevercease]

I've got the Gap ones. They're really nice on. Can't wait for it to be warm enough to wear them :)

Have you tried Espirit? I saw some bright green trousers in the Westfield store a couple of weeks ago.

[Mummyinthedark]

Pigs - have you got the pleated or straight chino? What's the fit like? [eager for info]

[Mummyinthedark]

Ooh Lime, just had a look on esprit and these look like a maybe. Only one size left mail order, which looks very teeny. May have to scout out shops. Thanks !!

[pigsmightnevercease]

Oh bugger, can't find them on website. They're almost like that peg leg style that was around last summer - think they're sort of pleated at the front, slightly cropped. I tried on loads last year and a lot of them were stupidly tight at the calf/ankle (not sure why as I've got normal-sized legs ) but these are just right and look sort of elegant and classy. Thinking they'll look as nice with heels for work as with flats for slobbing around.

French connection

[Mummyinthedark]

Got some! Monsoon. Quite slim cut but not too skinny on the thigh. Great colour. Hurrah!
