Tall size trousers for new job!

8 replies

NorksAkimbo72 · 02/08/2017 01:15

Start a new job this month, which is exciting, but I've been a student for the last 6 years, so I've been living in jeans, jumpers/t-shirts, and really need some good work basics to get me started.
I've bought some great tops, but I'm 5'9, and a size 16, so trousers can be an issue. I'm looking for comfortable, but smart looking trousers (I'll be working in a secondary school, non-teaching role).They need to wash well (no dry cleaning please!), if that's realistic. I'm not too bothered about style...legs are slimmish, but I am blessed with an ample bottom!Grin
Any recommendations are appreciated!

Next, long tall sally and tall girls. I have success with Dorothy Perkins as well sometimes. Or if you CBA to trawl through the crap, M&S!

M&S Long trousers have a 33" inside leg which is usually long enough for my DD and I (both 5'9" - but very different sizes).

Haha Ollivander ...i did look through M&S because their jeans fit me so well, but I wasn't impressed with their work type trousers.
Thanks for the other stores...i hadn't considered DP, and had no idea Long Tall sally was in the UK.
Thank you both!

Also try new look. And very has a talk range not very big but it does have work type trousers.

Also try ASOS - quite a few nice styles on there and they're generous with their talk section ASOS

Also Topshop tall.

Gap do tall trousers, too. They're quiet snug, though, so try before you buy!

quite snug

Thank you all... I'm grateful just to have places to look now...i felt a bit stuck with just one or two options!
