Smart trousers (black) - any advice on where to look?

[GrapefruitMoon]

I need them for something coming up soon and don't have time to go around loads of shops so hoping someone can help me narrow it down a bit - my main problem is that often jeans/trousers are too loose at the waist for me - waist is narrow compared to hips! I usually buy jeans from Gap (long & lean).

I'm about a size 12, need a longish length, budget about £50 max.

And don't want turn-ups....

TIA

Uniqlo - black woollen for £25. They are def narrower at waist then some others. Well that's my excuse for having to hold my breath when doing them up. Nice wide leg.

Gap? Next?

Try Principles, their trousers look good for the money, they are usually v well cut for high st IMO.

No Uniqlo near me and Gap or Principles would mean a bit of a trip..... plus Next jeans at least have the afore-mentioned loose-at-waist problem.....

Any other suggestions?

Debenhams? Oasis? Dorothy Perkins?
These, plus Uniqlo all have on-line ordering

M&S; Monsoon; Topshop - Next do a petite range - not sure if it's are any good though?

Petite, moi?

I'm just going to have to go out and try some on aren't I? (Unless there is someone else with the same body shape as me who knows where to look? [hopeful emoticon])

or order lots, try them onthe comfort of your own home and send back the ones you don't want. I do this all the time.

do you have debenhams? some of their designer ranges are good, i got some betty jackson black wideleg trousers in quite a heavy fabric for £40

debenhams, next or dorothy perkins would be where i'd look!!
