Where can I find trousers that aren't jeans?

I have realised that all I own are bloody jeans - and I need a pair of trousers that aren't jeans for next Thursday. Where can I get a nice pair that look vaguely professional before then? TIA

What size and shape are you? Gap is ok for me. I'm size 16.

H and m have loads of cigarette trousers in at the mo .

OK I'll have a look at both of those. I'm a size 8 and 5ft 4 and a half. Thanks Smile

New look have a fab range of black trousers suitable for work, and they're very flattering.

Zara!

Uniqlo is great I think - I risked ordering online and they were fine.

CountFosco · 14/03/2018 18:10

Gap, Boden, M&S, COS all good.

My favourite slim leg black trousers are from Next. Slight stretch with zips on hips. I love them.

GrainneWail · 14/03/2018 18:17

I have lovely work trousers from Benetton..

I love these. They have a nice neutral shape (not too straight, not too narrow) and fit me really well and being tall I find trousers a nightmare.

MeadowHay · 14/03/2018 20:06

Next, Mango, Zara. Reiss if you've got the cash.

Gatecrashing the thread... I don’t suppose anyone knows where to get a pair of cigarette trousers that would fit a tall pear shape?! I don’t own any trousers apart from jeans and leggings...

@peony Oasis have some new trousers that look cigarette-style in black, khaki and maybe navy? I haven’t tried them on but Oasis are usually quite good for a pear so worth a quick shifty if you’re passing. The fabric felt quite thick and not shiny - I’m planning on pop back and try them at some point. I’m 5ft10 and usually ok with their stuff.

Dorothy Perkins have loads of different coloured ankle grazer cigarette trousers in at the moment.

Ironfloor · 15/03/2018 06:52

Next, M&S, New Look.

Snaffoncrassin · 15/03/2018 07:44

Zara definitely! Some not too expensive either

peonylover22 · 15/03/2018 08:26

Oooh thank you @CheeseEater I’m 5ft 10 too so I’ll take a look

PerfumeIsAMessage · 15/03/2018 09:03

Gap bi stretch. The bollocks. They do mad colours, but the black and navy are fab. Usually a 40% code to be had.

Boden Richmonds are also good but not as perfect fitting as Gap.

Thank you ladies!
