A bit like these but longer

I dont like any bag around the waist and bum so they need to be fairly close to the body but not 'skinny'.

And under no circumstances any cargo pockets (god how I hate this trend, I really dont need any extra bulk on my legs!)

Cropped Elasticated Trousers

A Summer essential, these cropped trousers are made from soft fabric and sit on the waist with added elastication for a comfortable and easy fit. Wear them with a simple t-shirt or blouse for a chic summer look. <br> <p><strong>Model Wears:</strong> Si...

Look at euphoria boutique online. I also like seasalt linen trousers. Or you could just cut some down or get them altered.

Thanks I will take a look. I dont really like linen trousers and I like something not too baggy with extra fabric, I think Ive seen those seasalt trousers and they seem very big around the hips

Well I clicked on this thread to recommend you cargo trousers, so probably not the best placed to advise 🤣.

Have you looked at Next or M&S? Next always seem to do tapered Chino trousers every summer.

Boden or Uniqlo?

These look very promising but the sizing isnt clear. They offer a s which I assume means short but dont give a leg measurement for it

Then you can order petite which says its for a 27 inch leg

I wonder what the short is then?

If it is any help I'm 5'1 with a 28" inside leg and need petite in Next. I'd presume their Short length is a 30" inside leg or similar.

I think I would probably need petite. It says their regular is 29 inches but doesnt specify the measurement for short

Strange. I might pop in there tomorrow see if they have any instore.

You can get them ordered into store and try them on there too.

I'm honestly not a next employee, but I do buy a lot of trousers from there cos they sell petite!

I've just bought a pair of these Chinos from M&S are I'm really pleased with them. They're a good fit and look great on

Or Matalan

Yes thats exactly right, although not sure they have any left in my size. Might be a touch short, Im not looking for cropped trousers but I do have short legs and like them just a bit above the ankle

i got some from M & S last year

BobnLen · 09/03/2024 08:03

I have XL in those Next chinos which is about 33", Long is 31, regular is generally 29'. They are quite loose round the thighs generally so you may find them baggy. I just bought a pair from the Next clearance pages so it might be worth looking on there.
