Help me find my ideal 3/4 or cropped trousers!

Can anyone hep me with my hunt please? I want to find some cropped trousers for work, for spring, to wear with comfy sandals or flats. Some nice stretchy, skinny-style would be ideal, thick material to cover , ahem, problem areas and a higher wasteband to hold in the tummy. I have some from uniqlo that are fine, but low waistband and ideally I do want the 'slimming' effect. I don't want them to look like leggings. Any ideas on where to look? Thank you!

Are you sure about 3/4 length? The 7/8, ankle look can be more flattering...just a thought. Anyway, try Wallis, they are very cheap and their trousers always fit me.Smile

I don't really understand 7/8. Don't they just look a bit Half mast?

I have what I like to think of as lovely feminine hips (really big Smile) so mid-calf, rolled up or cuffed balances me out nicely. 7/8 only works if they roll up well to 3/4. I think I am after the same thing as Awfuldaughter- stretchy and close-fitting but no jeggings.

And I did see a nice pair in Wallis - I will try them.

The Boden trews are nice and thick with a decent amount of stretch.

Gap do some really nice super-skinny crops, great thick fabric, but do buy a size down.

I liked my Next 7/8 trousers for about a month but then they stretched LOADS and have now completely lost their shape.

Agree that 7/8 trousers look better than capris - much more flattering.
