Comfortable, dressy, joggers

Is there such a thing that exists? Starting a new job and want something comfy yet not looking like I'm enroute to the gym. Any suggestions

To wear to the new job do you mean? What work do you do?

I saw someone looking so nice in joggers once, weirdly glam (in a good way), but it was more that her whole outfit and self were really well put together. I wish I’d asked her where she got them from though.

mrstickletum · 05/01/2023 18:18

Yes to wear to new job ( call centre) I plan on jazzing them up but fancy comfy trs to sit in

Mark's and spencer have some really nice, wide leg ones. I once saw a girl ina pair with sparkly trainers and a boyfriend style blazer and she looked fab.

overthinkersanonnymus · 05/01/2023 18:24

Trainers were black sparkly, not bright pink or anything 🤣

Depending on your budget you could look at
Mint velvet
M&S
ME+EM
I have wide legged joggers from Mint Velvet & ME+EM & I love them
Even looking at the styling on those sites is v helpful
My colleague has several pairs from M&S & she wears hers as trousers rather than joggers if that makes sense

mrstickletum · 05/01/2023 19:56

@overthinkersanonnymus haha I had it in my head they would have been black but now the thought of bright pink is making me laugh lol

That's definitely the look I'm going for!

M&S do pull on trousers that are incredibly comfy for £17.50 and they don’t fade or sag, unlike their joggers. I have them in black, navy and a bronze check and have my fingers crossed that they bring them out in Camel. They do them in straight leg and wide leg.

mrstickletum · 05/01/2023 20:04

@BorgQueen ooohhhh I always forget and M&S. going to have a look now

Have you got a link please? I can never find anything on M&S.

Forgotten Tribes have some nice ‘funky’ black joggers.

missmoon · 05/01/2023 21:54

I have these from Arket, and wear them with everything. They look smart but relaxed at the same time, and are super comfy: www.arket.com/en_gbp/women/trousers/product.wool-hopsack-trousers-black.1029578001.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAh9qdBhAOEiwAvxIokwzcQb3t1DwWMVS3jd2V14XqkRy0nxeW26jNctwRLkGmQOSSfkyslRoCDU0QAvD_BwE

missmoon · 05/01/2023 21:55

Ok, these are quite a bit more expensive than the M&S ones!

Marmitepot · 05/01/2023 21:56

Hush

ChickenMaths · 05/01/2023 22:36

I have these from Hush in this colour and the khaki green. They're lovely and comfy and I find them quite versatile and have been pretty forgiving with washing and wearing. They do come up pretty big though! I like the harems too but they are expensive for what they are I think.

RampantIvy · 06/01/2023 10:44

Ooh. I like the look of those @BorgQueen

BorgQueen · 06/01/2023 11:06

They are very comfy, wash well and don’t need ironing but I wish they had pockets.

Greatly · 06/01/2023 11:11

I have two pairs from Saint and Sofia that are smart enough for work.

pompomdaisy · 06/01/2023 13:14

I've got a pair in each colour from hush on my wfh days.

NegroniLover · 06/01/2023 14:11

@Greatly how do you find the Saint & Sofia ones? I've been tempted by them before

DelphiniumBlue · 07/01/2023 01:10

I have Saint And Sofia ones, Runway and Apartment, they are very similar, I slightly prefer the fabric of the Apartment pants. Both nice, but the M&S ones look similar and much cheaper, though maybe fabric not quite as nice.

Thanks for this tip. I'm looking for some comfort pants that don't look too scruffy and I can wear to fly long-haul. These fit the bill nicely!
