Anyone seen any really good chinos this year?

The year before last I bought two amazing pairs of chinos from M & S of all places. Now I have lost a lot of weight (yay!) but M & S have stopped doing these chinos. Has anyone bought any really good ones for a shortish pear-shape?

The M&S ones were ankle grazing and relatively slim through the leg but not skinny. The best thing was that they were only £25!

Thanks

I really like the Gap skinny chinos.

Looking hard at the banana republic roll ups

I second Gap but I'm a tall hourglass so may not suit?

Thanks. Spotted these as well at Gap which might also be good - they look a little less skinny than the ones Decameron linked to. I've only ever bought tops at gap - how's the sizing for bottoms?

Bloody Banana Republic - such good value in the States; overpriced (IMHO) here Angry

Gap trousers come up big in my experience. I measure a UK 8 but usually need a UK 6.

yes i am two sizes down in some Gaps

JuanFernandezTitTyrant · 13/04/2014 16:21

No probs Pavlov.

I got some Gap slim cropped in the sale - I asked about the skinny khakis and the assistant just shrugged and said they don't have them Hmm. Thanks so much for your, er, assistance assistant...
