Summer trousers - they can't be 100% linen or cropped...are they just a myth?

[DANCESwithnewlytannedlegs]

I don't know WHAT to get or where to get them but I don't want to look like a crumpled paper bag and although i love cropped trousers they don't love my short legs or chunky calves C'mon girls, stop berating tarts and get back to the important stuff of life

ok, I got some nice linen/viscose ones in sainsburys in brown. not too crumply and quite flattering.

any thoughts about colour? size?

cotton linen blend

size 12/14
Not black, 'neutral' colours - navy or chocolate brown or paler browns (had my colours done last week and navy is one of my neutrals...haven't worn it for years)
Sorry a bit vague!

Oh yes, those M & S ones look good but can't do white as am inherently grubby

wide leg

Poss a bit too wide, I'm only 5ft, don't want to look as wide as I am high ! BTW thank Harpsi

I got these in cream in the store flattering on my short stumps

I was in Gap today and they had lots of nice non linen summer trousers in those neutral colours you mentioned Dances.

what about boarding trousers?

next is crap for searching but look under casual wear, folk story

Hmmm, am still scared of cream or white because of a)VPL b)inherrent grubbiness I mentioned earlier!

Asda have some

Hadn't tried Gap, last time I was in there trouser had about a foot of extra material on the length that I didn't need but maybe they do different lengths now. Will have a look.
