Ultra thin harem style trousers?

Not wearing them for a fashion statement, but to try and stop the bastard mozzies from biting my ankles and legs. I'm always a sticky, sweaty mess in the heat so they need to be as thin and cool as possible.

I got some really thin light ones years ago from Lucy and Yak, worth a look there.

These are great for this weather - so light and comfy but cover legs and no chub rub (a big issue for me 😆)

Free people had loads of options but ££

I bought a couple of pairs of these and wore them all through lockdown! They are now my summer pajama bottoms, very light and comfy with a stretchy waist. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nuofengkudu-Patterned-Elasticated-Comfortable-Trousers/dp/B07FFSGKH3/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=harems&qid=1686847830&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1

Have a look at Aspiga.

I have a few pairs of these - comfy and lightweight in hot weather amzn.eu/d/aYxmQso

@FeigningConcern I was looking at these the other week , but wondered if they were see through in the sun ? There’s a pair I’m hankering after but not if they are too thin !

Callingallbutterflies · 15/06/2023 18:14

Came on to say forgotten Tribes too.. I have the peacock pattern. Not see through at all.

Cakeandslippers · 15/06/2023 18:16

Another vote for forgotten tribes. I'm wearing a pair of the peacock ones right now. Super, cool,comfortable and wash well. Definitely not see through.

These are expensive, but so comfy

No they aren't see through at all.

Forgotten tribes here too. I've both low and high crotch ones. Love both. So cool and comfortable.

Marking space- so many great links to explore

GettingStuffed · 15/06/2023 19:35

I have these, so comfy

These are exactly what I came on to recommend. I have 3 pairs and they are gorgeous.

Heartbreaktuna · 15/06/2023 20:07

@Cakeandslippers love the peacock design. Any thoughts on whether they'd work for a shorty ? (5ft1)

WellThisIsFun1 · 15/06/2023 20:09

Forgotten tribes or Boho Tusk

Would you think they look okay on a size 16/18 lady, and are they long in the leg? Asking for a friend :)
TIA

I got some from Amazon ages ago. They're lovely.

Possibly yes. I'm taller so can't be sure but the elasticated cuffs mean you can pull them up to wherever works. When it's hot I quite often wear them pulled up to just below knee length and they look great.

Tigersinthetent · 15/06/2023 20:55

Forgotten tribes ones are nice.

oobladay · 15/06/2023 21:09

There's some double gauze ones in lots of high street shops/supermarkets at the moment. Really light weight and comfortable.

I've been looking at boho tusk, what's the sizing like?
