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!

Alexa trousers from Lucy and Yak are perfect for this. I work from home and I wear mine all the time.

I bought a pair of 'Rekucci' trousers from Ebay , recognisable sizing , very smart and super stretchy . So happy with them I now have about four pairs in different colours . The first pair were brand new , and only about Ten pounds , though they've now about double . A lot come from America, and shipping is now exorbitant , but occasionally some are sold in the UK and are well worth it . My husband describes them as made for a shapely bottom , and I must admit he's correct

What's their sizing like?

Tu yoga trousers are great with a wide waistband that doesn't dig in

I like these

I would say I am 16/18 for
trousers and I tried both in the shop - the 18 was definitely better.

I have no idea how to quote a post, but yes, yes, yes to the wide legged M 7 S jersey trousers mentioned above! I live in them! Handy for after swimming, lounging at home, out to the shops, to travel, out for a meal etc. So comfy to wear and flattering on. They even come in an extra short length, which is handy for shorties!

Oh, I am obviously cleverer than I thought! I managed to quote the right post!

Tu Roll top joggers are excellent- really comfy for home and smart enough for work too.

What length waist are these soft waisted trousers though? High waisted styles tend to suit a more structured waist and low waisted can get away with a softer construction IMHO

I third (fourth?!) these wide leg M&S ones. I have the navy and now need the black 🤣. So comfy and only £17.50 but really thick nice fabric. Also no ruching/elastic at the waist (just stretchy all over) so they look nice with a top/jumper tucked or semi tucked. I find an actual elasticated waist makes me look bigger.

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 bought two pairs of these last week, nice trousers. When I washed them they came out like crumpled rags. I don't iron anything, haven't for more than a decade so though these were going to have to be binned. BUT I tumble dried them for 30 mins on the gentle care cycle and they are good as new again.

I’m in the states. I just got the pricey Aday ones at friends’ suggestion and love them. Very very comfy but they look smart .

Phew! I must admit I do iron so hadn't thought to warn anyone!

These trousers are super soft and stretchy from h&m but they look expensive. They wash and wear perfectly. You can get them without the buttons too. They’re much cheaper than your budget.
