I need a nice pair of harem style trousers that are not bloody lary colours or patterns, slim fitting and not baggy round the groin/bum....

I want them to wear on the plane when I go abroad but all the ones I've seen are just terrible colours!
Would also like a nice plain longish cardigan can you please help??

What do you wear them with? I have a blue pair from Gap which are more of a tapered leg jogger than jersey harem with an ankle cuff, and I always struggle. It seems to need a fitted top to balance the slouchiness, but is also a bit high waisted, which fitted t-shirts make look bulky Confused

I also never know what to wear on my feet except for sandals!

Hush jersey harems are great. Size down as generous cut. One colour is on the sale too!

familyfarm · 05/07/2016 17:03

Next ones arrived and it's perfect, thank you!

Stevie77 · 05/07/2016 17:05

Ooh, also re a plain long cardigan, I've just bought another one from Gap outlet.

Runningupthathill82 · 06/07/2016 21:36

The Asos ones arrived! I love them. V generous size-wise too, which is quite nice. So comfortable, yet more acceptable than yoga pants...

Naicecuppatea · 06/07/2016 21:42

I think this is the first time someone has liked a recommendation of mine! I think I love you Running Grin

Runningupthathill82 · 06/07/2016 21:54

Haha! It was a great recommendation, thanks Smile I'm wearing them right now, drinking red wine and watching the football. As comfy as jim jams.

Legofriend · 06/07/2016 22:27

Thanks Alisvolatpropiis, I'll take a look at them.

Stevie77 · 07/07/2016 21:29

What's the length like on those Next pants? Are they suitable for a shorty or will I look like I stole Aladdin's pants instead?

Indecisivejo · 08/07/2016 08:54

They come in petite size

Sorry to hijack, but what's peoples opinions on these style bottoms for pear shapes? I really want some, but I'm convinced I'll try them on and they'll make me feel badly about my wideness!!

misspym · 08/07/2016 09:01

I'm 5'2 and the regular length is fine on me having size down from a 16 to a 14.

Stevie77 · 08/07/2016 12:13

Great, thanks.

Indecisivejo · 09/07/2016 09:42

Do the next ones have an elasticated waist?

Hulababy · 09/07/2016 11:24

I needed harem trousers for our school play but wanted something ii would wear again. And they do them in short leg which I need.

Indecisivejo · 09/07/2016 11:26

I have the Next ones for travelling to the South of France in a couple of weeks. We're not flying, we're driving so I need something comfy, which they really are!

papayasareyum · 09/07/2016 18:06

Oooh I'm off on a long road trip soon, can feel a Next order coming on...

Huldra · 09/07/2016 19:22

I have the Next ones and use them for l9ng journeys too.

Jmangel · 09/07/2016 19:50

Naicecupatea. Thanks so much for the asos tip - they arrived today and they are bloody gorgeous! Going to rock them with a black strapless body and 4inch gladiator sandals - perfect outfit. Wish they did them in black and grey too!

I can't believe I am about to say "I have just bought these £12 cheesecloth crops", it's just not a good sentence, but I HAVE and they are so flattering:

I can't be having with spare material billowing round my hips, they're big enough as it is. These give the impression of a patterned harem pant type thing but with a cut that's more like jeggings. And a really lovely ruched bit at the bottom, they come to just above the ankle on me.

hopeandsunshine123 · 03/08/2016 20:39

Does anyone have the link to the next ones I can't seem to get the link posted to work xx

PrimalLass · 03/08/2016 21:05

Have a look at Dorothy Perkins. I bought five pairs of their 'twill joggers' last year and they are so comfy.

MargotLovedTom · 03/08/2016 23:06

I'm also getting a link fail for the Next ones Sad.
