As comfy as joggers but not joggers?

131 replies

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!

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

Ohhh but do they have pockets? @Darklane

Asda George Yoga pants are boot cut really firming and lifting - and the comfiest bottoms I've worn for ages.

I've got a few pairs of these that I like - Hush Harem trousers/relaxed joggers: https://www.hush-uk.com/alexa-harem-trousers-charcoal/000741-2919.html

First read about them on this forum I think.

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 !!

Yes!! I took the plunge after being bombarded all over social media by ads for them and ordered two pairs. They are fabulous. So comfortable and look really good on. Will be investing in some more.

I got the marks and Spencer mom jeans which a stretchy denim but not joggers . Same as you WFH and dog walking have paired with oversized tailored shirt and wool socks maxi cardigan inside , puffa and flatforms outside. Someone commented in my teams meeting how smart I looked! Have just woken up from lunch time nap so very comfy and it's nice wear something other than leggings

Tinytigertail · 11/03/2024 18:00

For those that ordered the Halara trousers, what's the sizing like? Also, how long do they come up? I'm 5'5 and so many Regular length trousers seem to come up really long on me.

@Tinytigertail I’ve got the straight leg trousers (not sure what the sizing is like for the other trousers) I’m also 5ft 5 and got them in regular length. I think they are the perfect length for me. They don’t touch the floor and look good when I wear them with trainers (long but not too long if that makes sense). In terms of sizing, I would say they are fairly true to size, I used the size guide and checked the waist measurements and went by that and that worked for me. They are quite stretchy.

Thank you, I'm going to give them a try

I’m 5’3 and got the petite which are great - perhaps a little bit long still but they don’t touch the ground when I’ve got my trainers on. I’m a size 12, sometimes a 14 depending on where I shop and got the medium size. Perfect fit.

Tried these, I'm between sizes so no use for me. I think they are good for the price but thinner than I expected. Like legging fabric.

These are stretchy, not as comfortable as joggers though.

Just got these thanks to you, I love them.
More comfortable than jeans, look more put together than my joggers. Thanks!

nuschmoo · 12/03/2024 17:20

Definitely Uniqlo. What are your measurements for it to come up with you needing xxl?? I'm 5'4" too but size 12-14. I'm currently a M or L in their clothes depending on the style.

Springtime43 · 12/03/2024 18:04

Some fab suggestions, I am always trying to be the best version of comfy/casual !

Diggetydawg · 12/03/2024 18:17

What Halara trousers did you all get ? The ones with the pockets on the front ?

Justrestingmyeyes1 · 12/03/2024 21:13

@Diggetydawg yes, the straight legged ones

ilovesushi · 12/03/2024 21:39

Uniqlo sizing estimate tool is rubbish. I came out as XL but am more like a M or L. DS came out as XS. He is M at the very least. I'd guess a 12 is M and a 14 is L.

squishee · 13/03/2024 06:50

Any stretchy yoga pants with a very wide, flat waistband and a front centre seam. I have Uniqlo ones atm.

Boden Harem joggers/trousers.

High elastic waist,they are cuffed though. So comfy and I get people asking about them all the time. Size down though as they come up big (and I’m apple shaped!)

I second these. I just wish they did them in more colours. They are so comfy.

Louloulemon is your place. Whatever I buy there makes me look amazing which I am anything but!
