Need skinny fit work trousers - any recommendations?

My figure means I suit looser tops and skinny jeans. Unfortunately I need to look professional at work. I always struggle to find nice skinny trousers. Any recommendations?

I bought a pair of skinny cigarrette pants from warehouse for 35. Nice quality fabric, washes well & fits perfectly although I had to size up but that's not a major hardship.

Thanks. Online just now and looking at BooHoo. Never bought from there before. It's v cheap - do the clothes look horribly cheap?

I love my Coast Tokyo's - they're reduced at the now but I paid the full £80 (?) and still think I got good value!

They do look nice, thanks. The description doesn't mention leg length. I'm a 32 or 33 inside leg so trousers tend to be too short. Grr.

I just got some lovely skinny capri pants for work from Next.

Boden Chelsea turn ups are amazing, fab quality, thick cotton with a bit of stretch. I'm 5' 7" and buy the long length so they aren't cropped on me

gap black ones

think always skinny

PrincessOfChina · 13/07/2014 18:37

Yes, Gap Always Skinny are v good. I have short legs (although am 5'6") and they are a long ankle length on me.

GretchenWiener · 13/07/2014 18:38

really?
am an amazonian 31 " inside leg and are perfect with heels.

PrincessOfChina · 13/07/2014 18:48

I do think Gap are renowned for unreliable and inconsistent sizing so perhaps that's the trouble. Mine are two years old as they were part of my work uniform for the Olympics.

GretchenWiener · 13/07/2014 18:49

ooh.
Yes and size way down

good tip

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/07/2014 19:45

I have some brilliant ones from Cos - get asked if I have lost weight every single time I wear them. I think these but they don't seem to have them in black now. These look similar

GretchenWiener · 13/07/2014 20:00

back zip and vagina seam tho Reemers

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/07/2014 20:02

They are brilliant - I just wear a slightly longer top.

JethroTull · 13/07/2014 20:04

Zara. Loads of nice colours at the mo.

PennyPepper · 13/07/2014 20:13

I second Cos - lots of v flattering smart skinny trousers. Lol at vagina seam. V comfy though if stretchy/not too tight.

Some do have a normal front zip, if that's non negotiable
