As comfy as joggers but not joggers?

I am looking for suggestions of trousers that are as comfortable as joggers, but aren't joggers. Must have an elasticated waist. Not necessarily elasticated cuffs. Gone for style and beauty here but what I'm asking about it potentially neither stylish nor beautiful - but would be an improvement!

My teenage DC are wearing wide leg flannel check trousers from uniqlo a lot around the house. They do look a little bit pyjamary but they have a zip which makes them a bit more daytime. I have just ordered plain black flannel trousers from there to try and elevate my work from home wear. No one can see my legs on zoom, but I want to feel a bit smarter, but still comfy.

Oysho as mentioned above.

Uniqlo have loads of great options. I’m currently wearing their cord trousers with an elasticated waistband. So comfy for wfh

Linen-blend joggers www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1213659003.html

I love these I've had a few pairs now.

Yoga pants can be good, but my best pair of "smarter than joggers, comfier than jeans" trousers are "jazz pants" which I picked up on a whim from the sale rail of a dance store while getting new ballet shoes for DD. Be careful if you're shopping online though - lots of them are a horrendous shiny nylon.

Has anyone tried the Halara trousers ? I keep getting ads on fb and insta and they look comfy and smart but reluctant to buy off a fb ad !!

RudolfsLeftToe · 08/03/2024 17:41

Thanks @Summerhillsquare I’ve just bought two pairs for work!

Jeannne92 · 08/03/2024 17:47

Could you wear soft, stretchy 'jeans' ?

Ellaone · 08/03/2024 18:45

I got these after a pp recommended them on a similar thread - they are so comfortable I love them

These are actually sweatpants material not denim. They are fabulous.

I have the straight leg ones. I love them. I actually ordered a couple more pairs because they are so good.

Thank you that's fab to know 😊

These are stretchy, not as comfortable as joggers though.

As comfy as joggers but not joggers?
LasEva · 08/03/2024 20:34

Not trousers, but I wear soft jersey dungarees as a sort of loungewear, the ones without a waist at all Grin They're so supremely comfortable.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 08/03/2024 20:38

Ooh @Darklane those M&S ones look good and they’re £14!!

mylittlemonsters25 · 08/03/2024 21:23

I have relaxed joggers from next - not jogger like at all - more like baggy leggings. They are so comfy

I have quite a few pairs of these, they come in various colours & lengths. Very comfy but, I think, quite smart
