Black and white trousers - has anyone seen any?

My trusty black and white trousers have given up and I need to replace them. I have been looking around and can't find replacements. Has anyone seen any?
I am top heavy so wear patterned trousers to give a balanced look. The old ones were treggings but the new ones can be anything I can move easily on. They are a medium weight and can be washed overnight.
Those factors are important.

i think you can find it online.

NellietheNumpty · 01/12/2020 19:12

Haha @Julius0104. I have looked but not found.
@nitgel. Thanks I had forgotten about Uniqlo. Those aren't quite it. I am looking for a bolder check. Somewhere between those and clown trousers.

Thanks @goose1964. The Atterley ones were hilarious, I an glad you linked them. I don’t need that price or being an optical illusion! The next ones are all a bit dull. The Atterley ones had the right sized checks though.

I have a couple of pairs of this style from Sezane, they wear and wash well. They aren’t super thick so reckon they’d dry overnight if needed.

Yes @Sasuma. Those are the kind of thing. I love the optical illusion bum in the advert. They are perfect but 7/8. Has anyone seen any?

NellietheNumpty · 03/12/2020 21:14

Thanks. I need chef! I am top heavy and need something to keep me balanced otherwise I am an egg on legs.

What about searching under herringbone pattern?

SavoyCabbage · 03/12/2020 21:24

There are some on the GAP website that are very similar to those H&M ones.

NellietheNumpty · 04/12/2020 17:14

Brilliant @dudsville. I hadn’t thought of refining the search that way. I went into actual shops yesterday but couldn’t find any. I will look at GAP @SavoyCabbage.

These @SavoyCabbage?
They are wonderful. I am not entirely young and have skinny legs but a very ordinary middle aged bum.

Yikes, no they aren't the ones I saw. They were checked.

NellietheNumpty · 05/12/2020 07:37

Thanks @SavoyCabbage. They are great but still look 7/8 length. I am outside a lot and I want full length.
Keep the ideas coming though.

Ahh, I'm short so I'll get them on your behalf! They will be just right on me.

Nacreous · 05/12/2020 11:47

I reckon you could try looking up "houndstooth" trousers as I think that is the sort of check you've been referring to through this thread. Good luck!
