Jersey trousers

11 replies

I recently tried these jersey trousers and, even though I sized down, they weren't right on me - too loose and not in a good way and much too long: www.baukjen.com/products/neath-jersey-pant-caviar-black

I'm looking for something similar - smart enough to wear with work tops when we can return but that looks okay for casual wear too.

I'm 5' 4" and a solid size 12.

White Company might be worth a look.

Thank you! I'll have browse

M&S have an identical pair. They're called Tapered Jersey trousers I think. I absolutely live in them. I have the black and the one with subtle navy & black leopard print.

I'm 5'7 and they're just at the ankle bone in the regular.

You can size down, they're very forgiving in the waist/bum/hips.

They sound good, thank you! I want something comfortable but a bit smarter than the current leggings/joggers that are out of view on Zoom calls!

I also have the M&S ones in two colours from a few years ago - they wash and wear really really well

I've checked out the M&S ones and they do a short leg which is great. Going to give them a go!

I’ve just bought two pairs from Saint & Sofia - the Finsbury pant & possibly will buy a third come payday.

I’m on mat leave so wanted something slightly smarter than leggings but not as restrictive as jeans and these really fit the bill.

Thank you these sound great. Can I ask about the length? I'm 5' 7" and wondering how they come up?

Just spotted a 30% off trousers offer on my app so they're even cheaper!

Omg I even read that message a few times and seem to have skipped that part. I just kept being drawn to the bit about being forgiving on my problem area! In my defence I was multi tasking while on a concall 🤭Thanks!

I like the look of the M&S black and navy animal print . I guess if I am 5'3 I would want the short length, but just wondering if they would shrink if tumble dried .
