Robell trousers. What kind?

5 replies

I've decided I'm going to get a couple of pairs of Robell trousers as they get such a good press.

However I'm totally bamboozled by the choices and what's different in the styles.

I've tried googling with no real luck

I am fat, a size 18 but with decent legs and fancy 7/8 or Capri.

Anyone got any views about the styles on offer?

I work in a shop that sells Robell trousers.
Rose is the narrowest fit. Most people have to go up a size.
Bella is a medium fit and the most popular.
Marie is the most generous fit.

Full length Robell are generally very long and need taking up.
In the summer they do trousers at 7/8 length. These are identified by 09 after the style name, eg Bella 09.
They also do shorter cropped summer ones that have 07 after the style name.
Size wise, 36= size 10
38 = size 12 etc
Every season Robell do one off styles that have individual names, in addition to the main styles. The length system still applies but the generosity of the sizing can vary a bit.
Once you have found what style fits you, keep the label in your wallet then you can buy without having to try them on. No one ever remembers what they had last time.
Hope this is helpful.

Not flappy, but Bella usually have a cuff, turn up hem.
