Can anyone find me some really nice linen trousers? Not drawstring!

Hi,

Have this running in S&B, but also posting here for traffic Smile

Desperate for a couple of pairs for spring/summer. Ideally with front and back pockets and yeah, not drawstring. Not flimsy and really see through.

Can't seem to find any anywhere. I'm a size 10, with long legs, but a high waist and little bum, hence pockets to balance me out a bit.

Can anyone help me find the perfect pair?

TIA

My best linen trousers have been from Asda!

Thanks @sunflowersandbuttercups, shall have a look.

@Raera me too! I haven't found a pair as flattering since and that was at least 10 years ago!

@HeartOfInk I really like those! Are you in the UK? When I went to order, it doesn't seem to have a size option...

I'm on the EU website and I see the sizes.

@HeartOfInk, ah I see now, but I'm a bit confused by the sizes. I've put in that I'm a size 10, but it's saying to get a 38, which sounds too big. Does that sound right to you? Sorry, I'm not used to this sizing at all! Can you tell? Grin

I've bought nice linen trousers in John Lewis and Fat Face in recent years. Haven't looked to see what they have this year though.

Thought I'd update! Found a great pair (finally!) from Kaleidoscope at Freemans. These are stone and have some in black too 👍

True to size. These are a 10.

I don’t know if they’ll do them again this year, but I got some from Next about three years ago in the sale for a fiver - so comfy! They have had them in since but I refused to buy any at full price having got the first pair so cheaply!

@PaperMonster, wow, what a bargain! Not surprised you didn't want to pay full price. I'm actually not a huge fan of Next overall. Have had some nice things, mostly jeans and the odd top, but I find their sizes are strange.

@TFInearlyspring mine are black and just look like those you’re wearing! I agree Next can be a bit odd with their sizing. I have well and truly had my money’s worth out of those trousers though!
