Cigarette or 7/8 pants

Last year I found the holy grail of 'cigarette' pants. Navy, a touch of stretch and cheap too (approx £15 in Asda. They washed well and don't need ironing. I bought 2 pairs and a 3rd in a smaller size wishful thinking.
I wore them so much they have seen better days, but there's nothing like them in the shops now. Can anyone help me pls? I'm size 18-20 and 5ft 9.

Placemarking because I'm looking for some and am also the same size & height as you, so really hope somebody comes up with some!

I bought a pair in Primark - I'm not overly keen on this place but figured they were worth a try at £12.

They're great. I went back and bought three more pairs!

Oh that sounds promising Tired, I’ll have a look when I get the chance as I need something other than jeans to wear.
Are they plain coloured? I’m seeing a lot of patterned trousers in primark which I’m not brave enough to wear

I bought three pairs of these in Matalan a few years ago and they're still going strong. Plain colours-pale grey, navy and beige. I bet they still have something like this. Think they were about a tenner each too.

Yes, plain colours - I bought two black, one navy and one dark grey.

Thanks! I'll be going to primark & Matalan tomorrow.

I am 5ft 9" and bought a pair of Navy cigarette pants from Jaegar last month to wear to work. They were about £60 ish (Jaegar seem to have regular flash sales and they were a lot less than the ticket price). They are more expensive but they are good quality.
