Looking for cotton summer trousers in bright colours.

[MagicSummer]

In the 80s/90s I used to have several pairs of all cotton summer trousers with a drawstring waist. In those days they were from BHS who did lovely summer separates, or a firm called Gloria Vanderbildt.
They were all nice summery colours, e.g. red, pink, yellow, green, pale blue. I have looked and looked to find something similar but haven't yet found anything. I tried the Bembridge trousers from Boden, but they were horrible viscose and too short for me as well ( I am 5' 8"). Has anybody come across trousers which might be like what I am looking for? My parameters:-

• Not leggings or skinny or wide
• 100% cotton
• Drawstring waist
• Not beige, grey, navy or black

Thanks for any advice!

I've bought some lovely cotton trousers from Groupon, although not drawstring. Their range changes all the time, rather than seasonally like the High Street (I'm a little bit obsessed with their bargains!)

Have you checked out Vera Tucci? They have lovely linen shorts/trousers in bright colours. And they have a closing down sale
I bought beautiful jewel-bright gloves at xmas for presents (and some for myself) and they are really lovely - ditto the bright bags and totes.
They have nice cotton dresses and loose tunics too. I have some trousers, a bag and a loose cotton dress in my 'basket' atm

I am looking for Black linen or cotton capri/cargo pants (Out of stock on Vera Tucci ) if anyone knows of any?

Lucy and Yak maybe

@MagicSummer I know what you mean about the limited colours. I had a quick look at LandsEnd but nothing jumped out at me. I then tried Cotton Traders and found these these in dark coral which I quite liked.

@lorca Ruby and Daisy have a lot of cotton and linen bottoms here

OP I meant to add that I always find it difficult to get 100% cotton too in that style.

LF Markey has bright coloured cotton trousers. I also spotted some here earlier on (I like the pink ones...).

m.damart.co.uk/F-10058-trousers-w/P-376213-crinkle-trousers lots of colours but not cotton

Gap often have cotton trousers with pull strings.

Best I've ever found is Old Navy, used to stock up on trips to America. Desperately in need of a visit!!

There might be something suitable on www.gudrunsjoden.com ?

There will certainly be bright colours.

Thank you all for your suggestions - will have a good look through.

@MattDamon - really like Old Navy - not heard of them before. Hopefully a trip to NYC might be on the cards next year!

Cotton Traders and La Redoute also looking good!

Thanks again!

I remember my mum in a snazzy turquoise pair. Not helpful but when I was traveling Vietnam there were loads like this for sale.

Michael Portillo has several pairs🤣

🤣🤣so true idogiveadamn - I particularly like his salmon coloured ones!!!
