Chino trousers to fit muscular calves

2 replies

I am looking for some chino type trousers which will fit my chunky/muscly calves. I have tried various brands on - and seemingly none will pull up over my lower legs.

I live in jeans - which fit me fine - especially if they have a lot of lycra! However have started a new job and need to look slightly better dressed.

Tried on some chino type trousers in M & S - they weren't too bad a fit over my calves - had some stretch. I just wondered if there was a 'go to' brand which I could try.

Am a size 14. Oh, late forties too, so don't have to worry about being too on trend, just don't want to look frumpy.

Gap "girlfriend" chinos are fairly loose in the legs. I have, er, "sturdy" legs and they're fine on me.

Thanks. Will have a look.

I did try some in Gap last summer - but they were a different style. Couldn't get the buggers on anyway.

Fingers crossed these are looser.
