Summer trousers

113 replies

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/07/2022 18:10

I'm looking for some really light weight/cool summer trousers, possibly in both black and white or maybe grey and ideally cropped. Boden Richmonds are too work-ish. M&S hasn't got anything anywhere near okay - I tried their chinos on and they felt like they were made of plastic, even though described as cotton rich. Need to be cotton not linen and definitely not viscose or polyester. I want them for when it's too hot for jeans.

Please help!

Hush cropped easy trousers. They come in black, navy and a few patterns.

www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/product/11064/lyla-womens-organic-cotton-capri-black these are Capri. Is that what you meant by cropped?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/07/2022 18:44

Thanks for these. Hush ones are not cotton. No to capri - not actually sure quite what I want - something in between culottes and trousers, I think! :)

I'm looking for the same thing

Try New Look.

Ok not Capri, how about these instead? www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/product/14780/whistles-womens-tessa-casual-trouser

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/07/2022 19:09

The M&S ones are viscose and patterned. I just want plain black or plain white. I don't think they exist!

Whistles have some Nice looking black ones, but they're linen and I find linen too itchy, as well as looking like a dog's dinner within seconds.

What about white stuff?

JamMakingWannaBe · 10/07/2022 19:19

Probably not a popular place on here but try Cotton Traders.

Not sure what your budget is but these? From Me &Em

BovrilonToast · 10/07/2022 19:42

I have three pairs of these from Next. They are really lightweight and have a slight stretch, and are 98% cotton. I love them!

Next chinos

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/07/2022 19:45

Thank you. The Next ones are too narrow, I think/too like the Boden ones.

I don't like the Me & Em ones.

I looked in White Stuff today - they had nothing even vaguely okay.

I was going to recommend the next chinos above. ^^
But really they aren't that cool, maybe as mine are a bit snugBlush

BovrilonToast · 10/07/2022 19:47

I am quite large of thigh and I don’t find them too tight thankfully!

Ah shame, I’d searched for cotton. Didn’t know you wanted plain though.

I've got some cropped joules chinos. Maybe called something like Hesforth? Really comfy and good shape.

Not 100% cotton but look light and cool:

I have a lovely pair of black light trousers but got them in Lidl years ago and have never seen them again! Don't know what I'll do when they wear out.

RampantIvy · 10/07/2022 21:29

I have some black cotton cargo pants from M and S.

daisypond · 10/07/2022 21:36

Uniqlo?
How about these? But there are several other styles that might fit your brief.
