I need a stretch cotton navy pair of ankle trousers - smart ish

[LaurieFairyCake]

But not 'suity'. Not really casual like elasticated waist harems. Front fastening, HATE side fastening.

I am basically trying to replace a pair I had from french connection 20 years ago - I'm a bigger size now, need a 16 or 18 depending on stretch.

These?

I got some from gap the other day, I didn't get them online but I think it was these? Super stretchy

Oh, I don't think that link worked, anyway they were called something like favourite trousers and we're very comfy thick but stretchy, smart enough for me to wear to work but not suit like.
I tried on some nice ones in warehouse too...

Those are PERFECT Clarabelle!

myextension - do you own those, are they front fastening?

So cheap

Uniqlo Ezy. I have them on now - hidden elsstic waist!!

Bugger missed you wanted cotton. Sorry!

Warehouse compact cotton trousers

These ones www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/clothing/trousers/compact-cotton-trousers/033734.html?dwvar_033734_color=77&cgid=trousers

I have 4 pairs of the Gap ones, or very similar from there. They are front fastening, mine are an internal button, zip and metal slidey catch type things, no idea what they're called. So comfy and great for work, no saggy knees after sitting at a desk day.

@thegirlisnotright they were the ones!

Gap bi-stretch. I have 4 pairs and buy a fresh pair every year because I dread them stopping making them.

Boden Richmonds aren't bad but do a weird ruching round the knee if you sit in them.
