Proper Length trousers - where to buy??!

I need new work trousers for the autumn /winter and I need ones that actually come down to my shoe. I'm not even tall - I'm 5ft 4 but everything seems to be bloody ankle length or 7/8 whatever they call it! I work in a nursery and i'm down on the floor a lot I dont want trousers riding up round my knees! We aren't allowed to wear jeans or skinny trousers that look like jeans, fair enough, we are supposed to look smart ish (yeah tricky one!)
Any idea where I can buy full length navy trousers that will cover my socks?

Thanks sleepismysuperpower but I don't think they would be warm enough in the winter. We have to take the kids outside for playtimes.

Uniqlo. It’s the only place I have been able to find proper length trousers recently (and I am 5”8).

M&S do have a lot of 7/8 ones, but also plenty of full-length options. Next are also fairly reliable for basic work trousers, if not much else these days!

I tried some on in next the other day but despite saying regular length on the ticket they really weren’t!
M&S do have them but their work trousers have shrank in the wash in the past for me. But I guess I could go for the long length and remember to only wash on delicates cycle.
I will have a look at uniqlo, I also need long sleeve thermal base layers so might be able to get those on there too.

Oh yes Uniqlo do a proper sleeve length. And just remembered that if you need warm trousers, they do some that look like smart work trousers but have a soft fleecy lining! Smile
