Stretch trousers

[topdot]

Posted this in S&B but no replies so a hopeful repost here.

Stretch trousers - why are they so hard to find? I'm a size 16 and I live in trousers for work, I'm chunky of thigh so need a bit of stretch. Had a lovely pair from Dorothy Perkins but alas no longer made.
I just want a really plain, black or navy pair of trousers with a bit of stretch!
Can anyone help?

[quote Mykittensmittens]On the advice of s&b I got two pairs of stretch trousers from Roman. One navy one black.

I love them - will be buying the cropped versions for summer - and they are super comfy. Loads of codes for 20/25% off too.

Can I ask what the sizing is like on these? I probably have size 12 legs but a size 14 arse! I like things to fit tight properly round the knee though? Are they very stretchy??

@topdot I have a £10 voucher for Boden they've sent me but I won't use, you're welcome to it!

@Shinyandnew1 the fit is good to fractionally large with a good amount of stretch that bounces back and doesn’t go baggy. I’m a classic 16 but could have got away with a 14 for an even more fitted look.
I wore them on a longish train journey for work. I was expecting them to have bagged at the knees and stretched at the waist and to be hoiking all day but they sprang back straight away.
No buttons or flies so a nice smooth look in tops and none of those nasty holes in jersey tops where the fly button rubs.

Definitely Roman! I've got a couple of different pairs, including these

Cotton traders also do great stretch trousers with 2 small zip pockets.

I live in these - very smart (even though they're described as leggings.) they're cheaper if you download the app www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/women-ultra-stretch-high-rise-leggings-trousers-439241.html

Yes Robell I think are true to size. Good quality and all sorts of styles. You can definitely find work styles and casual.

I’ve got loads of pairs. The imitation Cotton Traders ones are ok but not as good and don’t offer the range of styles and designs.

Ohh just popped back to see all the replies! Thanks all. I'm going to order the Roman and the Robell and see how they fit me. @iwantcurry that's so kind thank you, will bypass Boden for now but will keep it in mind!

I have also ordered the Roman ones-fingers crossed!

These are finely ribbed and I practically live in them. I am a size 20 and they fit me fine.
