'nice' light coloured trousers for summer

4 replies

I am looking for some light coloured trousers that can wear this summer, can be light beige, cream but not white. They need to be suitable to wear with smarter tops and heels for evenings out but also with flats in daytime too, to suit shortish pear shapes and not cropped. Can anyone help? Not too worried about budget (within reason!) for the right pair. Thanks

Gap chinos?

Might these work?

They are wider legged so might be more flattering than the peg leg/tapered styles which are everywhere right now.

You are right any tapered trousers just make my lower half into a carrot shape. Love the Zara ones but Zara trousers + short legs do not equal a match made in heaven! Those Reiss ones are along the right lines but they are so unflattering on the model, they make her bum look huge, can only imagine what effect that would have on me!
Liking the suggestions so please keep them coming!

O yes Zara are very long on the trousers! Forgot that.
Wallis have a number of stone and cream wide legged trousers a lot of them in the sale. I like these palazzo ones but the ivory might be a bit light....check out the rest if the site though. www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33058&storeId=12557&productId=4654816&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209314&parent_categoryId=209166&pageSize=20
