Comfortable trousers that aren't jeans

[bonfireheart]

I really can't get on with jeans. Leggings/jeggings with short tops is just wrong. And all my other trousers are more work trousers.
I want some trousers that are smart casual or even just casual that I can wear on my days off. Any help will be greatly received:)

Leggings with longer tops? Have to admit that I only wear them at home and change to go out.

I used to live in jeans, but now I'm not so slim, they're not as comfortable. Jeggings, hmm, I do wear these but find they only fit well when just washed. After a couple of hours they're slipping.

In the summer, linen mix trousers work for me. Winter, I have one pair of khaki green trousers that are a nice soft fabric but a jeans cut. I found them in a charity shop with labels still on - Next, I think. I'm starting to prefer casual dresses with thick tights.

Hush joggers and harems are very popular. Anything with a sporty vibe, MeandEm have lots of athleisure style that are gorgeous.

Have you tried treggings?

Way more comfortable than jeans but smarter than leggings. I wear them all the time.

Sainsburys do some good ones (although they do come up a bit short as you can see so order longer than you think you'll need).

Second harems or joggers

Never heard of treggings - they do look like the compromise I'm looking for will have a try, thank you!

Also, cargo pants, good examples on My Fashionable 40s

I’m totally evangelical about these:

They’re like jeggings but a lovely soft velvet and warm, and they don’t bag after a couple of hours (even on a full days’s hiking!). Wash easily.

Uniqlo also do treggings if that’s what you’re after, though they don’t call them that (think they call them smart trousers)

I can second the Uniqlo velvet ones.

Chords

Cargo trousers (some in Zara)

Third vote for the Uniqlo velvet leggings. Thing of beauty and so cosy.

Boden Richmond trousers are really comfy but can be dressed up smart.

Those Uniqlo look lovely - how long are they? I have a 33” inside leg so anything under 31” looks a bit silly on me!

What's sizing like on Uniqlo ones pls lala trills potplant?
I'm a river island 10 but some recent Zara trousers medium

Also legging velvet leggings think they're about 32inches uniqlo legging trousers also good and their pull on trousers also the wool trousers are longer and warmer for winter

Don’t know length but I’m 5’5 and they fit me perfectly and I think I could be a couple of inches taller and they still would.

I think they’re sized fairly true/a little generously. I’m a 14 at the moment and the L fits me perfectly. I’d go for S if you’re a 10 (I think uniqlo does free exchanges if I’m wrong, but check this).

I'm fully embracing the elasticated waistband since discovering Hush's harems and joggers. Me and Em have some nice ones that I'm coveting. These.

Thank you potplant 😊

I do love MN. I'm not a fan of shopping and since I've been on here regularly (about 2 years - I was on education sites before not a fat lot of help in retrospect) I can pick up stuff to freshen up my wardrobe without the aggravation of having to go looking for stuff myself

Yes, the cut is slightly generous.

I'm a 14 at the moment and the L fits well,.even a bit roomy (which for a Japanese brand is pretty good)

M&S do great slim trousers. I adore ankle grazers.

H&M pull on trousers .
I got a pair yesterday, elasticated at the back, back and front pockets.

My jeggings from Primark fit really well

Thanks very much! 32" would be pretty much perfect.
