Decent but cheap smart trousers

7 replies

I've put on weight and need some new trousers for work. But I intend to lose the weight, so don't want to spend loads...

Ideally they would be black, navy, grey or cream straight legs, either full length or cropped above the ankle (I still have nice ankles!). £25-30, minimal polyester or other manmade fabric.

I'm wondering about supermarket clothes - never really looked there before, but can get to most high street stores if there are better places for the money.

TIA

H and M if you want cheap but modern cut. Helps if your figure is regular tho

Non regular figure - thighs and bum much bigger than waist, even with added weight at the moment

I got a lovely pair of black linen straight legs from Sainsbury's the other week, after someone on here pointed me in that direction. 100% linen! twenty quid, and in a size smaller than I usually take, so I reckon they're fairly generously sized. They had them in a neutral cream/beige or navy too, and in three lengths.

I find trousers big on the waist sainsbury. Usually buy women collection marks and Spencer they always fit. I usually buy the cheaper range or in the sale.

I've got various pairs from M&S. Have lasted ages so I have no idea what they have in stock these days.

Side zip, plain waist with no belt loops or pockets and wide straight legs are very slimming. Best length is halfway down your heel too.

I got these Coast trousers in the sale. Very good quality and a lovely shape on.
