The perfect posh black trousers.......

[Skyler]

So where should I try for good quality black trousers. The sort that can do any occasion but don't need dry cleaning. I am a Next size 12 but have a flat bottom so their styles don't fit me well as they are baggy round the bottom and top of thighs. Trying to go for quality but looking at about £50 to spend. Where should I start. I am in a Next rut.

zara

Monsoon ?

M and S good for wardrobe staples imo.

Gap have lots and lots of different styles of black trousers atm- it might be worth trying some of them on, maybe?

Must they really really really not need dry cleaning?

Just thinking that if you want posh trousers that might be tricky...

posh evenign or posh nice wool?

Posh evening. Zara too long I think...or is that Mango...
No Gap here unless I trek into Birmingham and would need a whole weeekend day for that...

Some swear by Boden's slouchy velvets ...

Some swear AT them ...

Is M&S not a bit Mumsy??? Will try there, and can try Monsoon too.
Yes deffo no drycleaning. Too expensive and will put me off wearing them.

I have just bought a nice pair from Monsoon. Smart enough to wear for an evening do but still ok for work etc. Machine washable too.

Is Hobbs a possibility?

Lol at M&S being Mumsy - and Next isn't?!!!

I agree it is, but trews and suits ok from there.

That sounds good Dusty. Do you have a bottom though....if you don't mind me asking?
Actually wide leg might be a good idea for my lack of arse. (it is wide but flat).

ah yes if you want straight chic ones gap hasv a pair( almost sold out) os skinny slightly shiny balck ones
great fit for me - i have a flat bottom wide hips

there is a lto to commend marks dont diss it

Lol DrNortherner, good point.

Sadly yes skyler but they had a couple of different styles so worth a look. Principles had a couple of pairs too.

No Hobbs close either....

Ooh there is a Principles I think. I have never been in there. I am certainly in a shop rut. We do have a Zara to try....

Wallis?

We have a Wallis too, but only a small one...I am just going to have to take a day and go for it aren't I?

See Cod I never think abou Gap. Are they not a bit casual from there then?

its worth a trek fgs
