Trousers that aren't jeans, not workwear, but smart/casual

I'm size 16 bottom half and have a long torso...I can not seem to find nice trousers that flatter that aren't jeans. I'm open to any colours, anyone seen anything?

Chinos? Zara have some lovely ones, and they have these stretchy leggings/ trouser things Grin my mum is the same size as you and she loves them.

They do a variety of colours too.

Desparate - ha you read my mind re the Zara chinos! Smile

I have Boden slim bootcut trousers in navy. They're like chinos but with a slight bootleg. Thick cotton. I love them.

Thanks all. Will check out Zara.

Check Esprit as well, they have many non-jean trousers. Some are also high-rise, which you might find more comfortable with long torso.

Thanks Hazle. That is my problem really, most trousers are way too short in the crotch.

Good luck finding trousers that will fit size 16 in Zara! Personal experience here.
Good alternative to jeans in Fatface, TK Maxx and Next.
