This season's summer trouser

Well I think it is this season (I am hardly a fashionista) - quite baggy at top, tapering to ankle skimming length, in patterned fabric.

Do they make your arse look enormous?

I am a size 12/14 and 5 foot 4. Can't really get to the shops to try on. Is there any point ordering online?

The ultimate navy cigarette trouser is Banana Republic Sloan fit, I think?

Banana Republic trousers at cheaper price please?

The plain ones are fine - it's the jazzy patterned ones I can't stand.

Am also looking for navy capri trousers, same height and size 10-12, no joy so far...

I need them to have a bit of stretch. Spend half my day bending over into a sandpit or suchlike Grin

The Next ones last year are tapered as I think this year's are too.

I was going to say banana Republic for cigarette pants. Or the Boden bistro

I have some. They are very comfortable. I'm a size 10 and 5ft 2 and they aren't the most flattering. My legs are tiny but these do make my legs look bigger and I find my stomach looks bigger too. I still wear them but of you have bigger thighs I wouldn't recommend them.

They look like pjs I had a pair last summer and I gave to charity after catching sight of myself while out in a window! Plain harems with a fitted top can look good but not cheap Jersey ones they need to be heavier

I bought a fabulous pair of denim ankle grazer jeggings from Laura Ashley last week. They actually make me look like a nicer person. Patterned/tapered trousers make me look like the back of a bus. (5'7" 12-14).
