Black jersey wide leg trousers?

[Asterope]

I have some tummy trouble and can't have anything tight on my waist but I don't want to look like I'm in loungewear either. I can't find anything suitable! Hoping I will find some recommendations here. M&S looked hopeful but out of stock🤞🤞

I have a pair of the s&s trousers and i like them, but i don't love them. They are very comfortable, though, and I've had compliments on them.

I also have their biker jacket and i love that! I don't think there's a quality issue, but i don't really buy very expensive clothes anyway, so what do i know?

I've got some from H&M

I just ordered the saint and Sofia ones thanks to this thread (sucker!) but now I’m worried about the fabric as I am mega fussy about fabrics. Is it a super soft stretch jersey cotton? if it’s at all rough or static generating (generally too much acrylic or polyester in the stretch mix ) then it will set my teeth on edge and I won’t be able to wear them!

@CeeceeBloomingdale can you please put a link? I would like to get some affordable ones.

I have the Baukjen palazzo pants and would recommend, thick food quality jersey and v comfy. Also have the Neath tapered trousers from them which are actually smart enough for work too.

I've looked through and can't see the exact ones I bought but if you search "wide trousers" on their website a few alternatives come up. Annoyingly I splashed bleach on mine the other day so I'm in the market for a new pair too. They were something like £12.99 or £14.99 so great value.

@LadyCurd I'm the same! Was just about to order their runway pants then saw they were mainly polyester. I'm more interested in the cotton ones. Which ones did you get?

I like the look of the White Company ones.

I completely agree. Hate polyester and can't understand why there is so much of it (who buys the crap) and why it is so overpriced.

I can confirm Me &Em jersey is amazing quality and White Company is absolutely not! I'm always shocked at their clothing prices.
I am interested in Saint and Sophia quality as the clothes look lovely.

I have the Saint &Sofia trousers and I LOVED them... till I washed them for the first time and the black faded massively. Gutted as they were exactly what I wanted but after a wash they looked awful.

I went back to double check and it says 92% organic cotton 8% elastane so will report back. Shame about the washing of them though!

I coveted some Saint & Sofia ones and waited with excitement for the 34" leg to become available.

I was so disappointed. The fit was very unflattering - I am 5'10" and size 8. The fabric was unpleasant and cheap looking.

I had some great ones last year from Cos.

@Mystraightenersarebroken Which trousers were they?

Starting to worry now.. :/

I’m a shortarse, I’ve got some Saint&Sophia ones and I love them. I’ve worn and washed them loads since lockdown too. They didn’t fade when I washed them, they’ve always been washed at 30C with Persil washing liquid if it makes a difference.

I'd buy more if I wasn't due to go back to work soon. I will when the colder weather sets in.

They are made from soft, stretch jersey cotton.

I didn't contact customer services so I can't comment on that, my parcel arrived quickly and in good order.

I've been toying with the saint and Sofia ones for months now and have an endless stream of adverts from them on Facebook. I can't see anything else that's quite the same. Me + Em only have them in size 6, baukjen they're viscose. I'd love to see some reviews from people on here reporting back on purchases if they don't mind

[quote balzamico]I have lived in a pair I got from Monki recently. I'm 5'4" and they're full length not cropped on me. They're kind of silky on the inside so they hang beautifully

I was going to suggest Monki. They're very good at the wide leg trousers. Such comfortable clothing, very flattering, great sizing for all body types and really reasonable prices.

Try boohoo they have some decent quality petite wide leg trousers

There was a thread on this a while back and I bought some Boden trousers off the back of it.

I think it was this set and I seem to remember it was worth sizing down

@SlipsAndLols - was it the Camden ones you had? I'm interested in the apartment and runway ones too

I'll tell you if you promise not to tell my DH

I bought the Camden Wide Legs in black and I loved them so much that I bought some more in Navy with a pair of Pimlico Pants.

I like them all and the Pimlico Pants are just about smart enough to wear to work with some heels, a satin shirt and my ethically soured pearl necklace.

sourced not soured obviously.

Thanks for sharing @SlipsAndLols - also tempted by the Pimlico!
