High waisted, pleat fronted trousers

Does anyone know where I could find some high waisted, pleat fronted, 1940s style trousers? The high end fashion mags are full of them, has always been a favourite style of mine but I can't find anything similar on the high street.

Thank you lucked! I like those but I'm not so into the paperbag waistband.

I am a big fan of this shape:

Young Americans -era David Bowie style trousers is what you want. The forties done by the eighties.

There's a few that might suit in cos, but not sure whether you want tapered or flared legs?

Lucked · 27/02/2017 22:31

finery?

Lucked · 27/02/2017 22:32

more finery and I think what you are looking for but limited sizes.

Cathays · 05/03/2017 19:26

thanks Lucked! I think Niminy is spot on... 80s does 40s is what I'm after.

I've sent for these from the Uniqlo U range. They're described as 'low waisted' but they look reasonably high to me.
