Comfiest trousers you can get away with going out of the house in

Hello, I wondered if I could get some links to comfy trousers (track pant comfy), that I could get away with going out in (school, supermarket etc). I don’t find activewear THAT comfy as is quite “compressiony” and tight. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Uniqlo legging trousers or their Ponte trousers

These slouchy trousers are amazing and surprisingly flattering: www.nandwillow.com/slouchies/all-slouchies.html

I have three pairs and will probably buy more soon!

Old cotton chinos for me. Less scruffy than tracks bottoms and more comfy than tight, restrictive jeans.

Hush Amy joggers
I couldn’t get on with their hareem pants though

Commenting just to ensure I can find this again!

What's the sizing like for Hush? I'm usually a 12-14 and 5'7''. According to their sizing on measuring hip and waist I'm coming up as an XL tall.
I fancy a pair of those harem pants and don't want to order the wrong size.

EdWinchester · 21/03/2019 19:08

I have these from Hush and these.

Both very flattering, but they come up large so you need to size down.

EdWinchester · 21/03/2019 19:11

bigcheesematrix, I am 5'7.5 and a size 12 and I order them in small.

Sorry but shamelessly place making so can sneak back later with the credit card when bedtime over - unfortunately I think I want everyone....hmm....

jenniuol · 21/03/2019 19:18

Agree with the hush Amy’s! They’re fab, I’ve worn them all over, shops, school and flying long haul. Sizing is massive though! I’m 5”8ish and a size 10 and had to get xs. They’re just long enough too.

SoftBlocks · 21/03/2019 19:20

I’ve got harem/ Hammer pants and they are the best. I got some from Hush and some from Asos but I appreciate they are not for everyone. Fantastic on planes.

Inneedofadvice27 · 21/03/2019 19:29

I can’t wait to get on those links. Jeans are only comfy for me when I’m at my slimmer weight ie. no muffin top or tummy otherwise I feel like I’m in a compression garment!

Stella those nandwillow ones look great. What's the sizing like?

Thestral · 21/03/2019 22:43

White Company do some grey lyocell trousers that feel like pyjamas but look quite smart.

There's always some new but with the labels cut out on eBay, I've had 3 pairs!

SteppinOutwithMyBaby · 22/03/2019 06:30

@OriganiZoo I've recently bought heaps of underpants and soft bralets made from bamboo. Absolutely wonderful. Don't ride up, dig into my stomach and fit comfortably over my big backside. Fabric is great.

DinosApple · 22/03/2019 06:33

@itssquidstella I've a few pairs of those too.
They are very comfy, light and my go to slouchy trousers for a hot day in summer.

itssquidstella · 22/03/2019 06:52

@BlodwynBludd fairly generous - I'm 5'11" and a size 10 and I'm in a small. They're very stretchy!

Whereareyouspot · 22/03/2019 06:59

Oh I need this in my life!

I can only stand elastic waists since I get older and when I wear skinny jeans to go out in I spend the whole time wishing I could get home and take them off!

I find hush harems and Amy’s don’t wash well at al they go so baggy and they are a tiny bit short so make me look daft.

Will check out some of these others.

Excited!

Whereareyouspot · 22/03/2019 07:01

HMm I think I want more fitted than the nandwillow ones.
Less harems more silky tapered joggers?

Anything else?

I’d love something soft and stretchy that’s smart enough for work too
I have one pair from Zara and I wear them far too often!

margaritasbythesea · 22/03/2019 07:05

I've got the MandS ones too. I bought them for round the house but they're so comfortable I'm beginning to fail to take them off to go out. I wear the with black Nike Pegasus. Looks fine.
