Where to buy long, black trousers

[fizzingwhizbee]

Hi!

After some help really. I'm not very style-savvy. But since having my youngest DS in April last year, I've worked really hard and lost 4.5 stone. I'm the slimmest I've ever been.

I'd really like to get some black trousers for work as I'm back in Feb. But I'm a bit oddly shaped now. I'm 5'10" so need longer length trousers (I'm a 33" leg). I'm about a size 12 but am finding that everything is a bit snug on the Mum-tum, but baggy on the hips

I'd like a wide leg, and ones I can wear with a low-ish heel and them not be flapping round my ankles!

I've tried Next as they often have trousers in longer length, but they just don't sit right on me.

Does anyone else have any of these problems? And if so, where do you buy your long length trousers??

Spam me with anything please!!

I’m short but Banana Republic trousers are always great on me. They do short, normal and long length. If the short ones are good, the long ones may be worth a shot!

They have sadly closed their UK stores but still trade online.

Ooh thank you! Will take a look

M&S do long length which is about 33 inch and GAP

New Look tall
Dorothy Perkins tall
ASOS

Asos tall are good.

Zara come up long also

Ahhh - amazing! Thanks so much!

I’ve never really enjoyed shopping before and I’m in my early thirties. I’m so excited to try new stuff!

I am 34 inside leg and M&S, Zara, Gap and Boden are all great. In fact I have some M&S work trousers which are too long.

I need a 34" inside leg and have been looking online for wool trousers. It appears to be almost impossible unless I spend £££.

Hugo Boss says their 'Hugo' range are 34.3" long, but they don't say if that is finished or unfinished hems. They were about £180ish prior to Christmas, but some are in the sale below £100. Max Mara do unfinished hems and are certainly long enough for me when they have been hemmed; however their trousers are all £250 - £350 ish full price. Marella also used to do unfinished hems.

M&S 'long' length is 33", so you may find a style you like that fits better than Next.

I have a pair of Jigsaw trousers from about 10 years ago that fit me fine with flats but not heels, so they may be worth a try.

If all else fails, there is Long Tall Sally who definitely sell them long enough, but they appear to be mainly man made fibres.

My trousers are by Max Mara, Marella, Ralph Lauren, Jigsaw and Daks.

Thank you all so much

My budget won't stretch to Max Mara et al. But they all sound dreamy!! And I bet they look fab. You do get what you pay for.

But will have a look in GAP and Zara this weekend. And have ordered a pair of trousers from ASOS to try

Really appreciate all the advice! I'm a bit adrift. Thrilled with my new figure, but completely clueless about where to shop :)

I got some amazing jaeger black trousers in their sale just before they closed in our city - not sure if they're still online. (The only purchase I've ever made from there)

Had a look round the shops yesterday. With two young children - so it was quite hard work. Unfortunately Zara looked like a jumble sale because it all seems to be sale stuff and I couldn't see the wood for the trees...

However! I went into GAP. How did I not know that their standard length jeans are a 33" leg?! Amazing

Couldn't see any black trousers I like. But I think I'll go back after the sales as I just didn't have the energy to go through racks and racks of stuff.

Thanks again everyone for your advice and input

I went through a similar process to find some black trousers I liked. In the end I bought 2 pairs of these. I need them taking up a little, but that's okay. Super expensive for me, but I felt they were worth it and investment pieces.
