Where can I buy some trousers.

First, please don’t judge me. I know my style is most likely not yours but that is what makes the world more interesting.

I dumpy and I like cords.
I currently own about 490 pairs for Seasalt cords but due to being dumpy they are all wearing away.

I want some more trousers. Not jeans, not crops, not floaty flowy things. Trousers.
Is there anywhere that will sell trousers to the dumpy middle aged women?

Not sure these would fit the bill, but 'Utility' type trousers are really in at the moment so can be picked up in pretty much any of the high street shops!

Thanks but not really. They are lovely but not right for me.

Chinos? Straight leg jeans? Black/coloured denim is more like heavy cotton than denim

I get chinos from Next- actually the only thing I've bought not for the kids from them ever. Straight, well cut, last ages- really dull but needs must.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 16/06/2019 18:53

I like dull. I’m happy in dull.
I’d not thought of Next.
In my world if Seasalt don’t sell it then it might as well not exist.

I’ve just ordered some chino trousers from the joules sale.

Look at the Uniqlo EZY trousers. Elastic waist, ankle length, come in a variety of patterns and fabrics. I'm a sea salt size 12 and wear an M in uniqlo trousers if I want them a bit more fitted, or an L if I want them more relaxed around the thigh. Since they're elastic waist they are very forgiving!! (And comfortable!)

Seasalt Cornwall have loads of trousers that would fit the bill

My trousers are from a mixture of these places:
GAP
Boden
Esprit
Uniqlo
Fat Face

Try Lands End.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 17/06/2019 12:40

I’ve just looked and Landsend and there were some nice ones there.

There’s nothing on Seasalt I like right now. It’s all crops and floaty businesses.
