Does anyone else NEVER find trousers that suit them?

[Badmumton]

I just cannot seem to find any trousers for work that look right.

I'm fairly limited as to where I can shop for them, as I'm tall (Boden, Next, a few high street shops' tiny Tall ranges).

I'm a size 12 and an inverted triangle shape.

Slim fit trousers make me look like I'm about to keel over (big bust, skinny legs).

Wide leg make me look like a giant clown.

Bootcut and straight are the least worst, but still don't seem to flatter me.

Also, although I'm fairly slim at first glance, as have very long slim legs and a decent waist, I have a c-section overhang on my lower belly which shows up in literally EVERY pair of trousers I try on.

I love dresses, but I would like ONE pair of trousers to wear to work .

Been trying to think how to describe how my stomach looks in most trousers. I think it's like I'm smuggling porridge down the front!

any results badders?

Yes, I totally agree, just never get any that actually fit properly. I am size 14, big thighs, smaller waist so I always get a gapping waistline if it fits on the hips. Trouble is now I can't even be bothered to try them on when it will probably be a waste of time so I have hardly any trousers. Most of the ones I have are Next or Boden.

Will see if I can get to Banana Republic as they sound promising. I also get fed up with going to the post office to return things! Even with free returns it's still time consuming.

dorothy perkins have a copy of the cos tapered trousers, they have quite a few different styles. i quite like the peg ones.
