Super comfy but smart looking trousers

Do they existed?! Want something that i could literally lounge around in as I work from home and like to feel comfortable but also can go out in as I often have to pop out. I can never be bothered to get changed so just end up going out looking a right mess!
any suggestions, would be willing to pay £60/70 maybe £80 for right item but obviously bonus if cheaper!

Lucy and Yak are my go to for WFH trousers

These from seasalt - not smart enough for a meeting, maybe, but certainly fine for an office day where I am

@SheilaFentiman I was going to suggest the same Seasalt cords, I've got them in both purple and black. I've worn them to the office as well as home.

I like the “Finsbury pant” from Saint & Sofia

I wear Uniqlo wide leg flannel trousers (the plain ones not the ones that look like Pj trousers!) they're as comfortable as pj's (I wfh) but just look like normal wide leg trousers if I need to pop out. I have 4 pairs and I wear them on rotation!

I looked at these and think they’ll be my next purchase.

M&S do loads of stretchy waisted smart looking trousers.

My favourite though are these from The White Company.

They do, including ones that are as comfy as leggings but much thicker material, a smooth waist and wide legs.

KinS24 · 23/12/2023 21:03

I wear decent straight leg jersey joggers. Black or charcoal. They look ok for going to shops etc.
if you want smarter you can’t beat the Uniqlo pull on trousers in woven fabrics.

ToriTheStoryteller · 23/12/2023 21:06

I've just bought these. Great with trainers but have worn with chunky brogues as well. They are long though.

How's the sizing for the Uniqlo flannels? Eyeing them up but I'm a size 16 and not sure if their XXL would fit

I'm a 12-14 and I wear the large, I could probably fit the medium but I like them loose.

My tie-waist wide leg linen trousers are the go to for this kind of vibe. Can’t link as I bought on Vinted but do yourself a favour and get a pair, they’re so good

Ilovemyshed · 23/12/2023 22:32

Matalan Bengaline trousers. I live in them.

IndecisionsIndecisions · 24/12/2023 10:45

I have the Saint & Sofia Finsburys. At first I thought the material was a bit like the ‘slacks’ my grandmother used to wear, but they are v comfortable and I have had several people ask me where I got them.

Starfish slim leg trousers from Lands End.
