Summer trousers

113 replies

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!

Not sure if these will work for you - quite distinct - but I've been eyeing these up for a few weeks now and just bought a green pair. Link is to the black version

Online only am afraid tho unless you live in Brighton as they have a shop there.

Oliver Bonas are my find for trousers this year - they just fit really well and look good

No to the L&Y ones. Not for me.

Can you sew? Trousers are really easy to make, 4 pieces and a zip for basic ones. If you want a waistband and pockets double it!

Not good enough to sew any. If I was, I’d have made some already 😂😀

You should definitely consider getting some made - once the dressmaker alters the pattern to fit you perfectly, she can use it again and again. You only need about 1.5 metres to make a pair of trousers, you can have cotton for day, silk for night and wool for the evening.

That should have said wool for Winter, it was late!

Lands End always have quite a few choices of summer trousers, they are online only though unless you are near their outlet

I just bought these. They're absolutely gorgeous in real life, very comfortable, soft, lightweight cotton, and stylish.

Re: Oliver Bonas trousers

I bought the wide leg cotton twill black trousers and a pair of light blue striped sailor trousers. Bought in haste as I was walking through Waterloo station and in desperate need of summer trousers. Very pleased with them.
