I'm going for relaxed but stylish- Toasty/Hush etc vibes. I'm a size 14 and 5.8. I'm also a really lazy online shopper.

I need them for college (I'm 58 but doing a masters), so don't want to look too 'smart'. Extra points for an elasticated waist!!

I have found the same, sadly

I’ve just bought the wide pleat trousers and they do come in Long. It’s a separate listing on the website (they don’t show the trousers and then the different lengths are in the size drop-down like any sensible website would do so you have to hunt around). Annoying website, good trousers.

It was the curved Baker trousers that I was looking at, and they definitely only come in one leg length - 29.5 inches, which is no good if you are tall.

@RampantIvy ah sorry, got my post order muddled and thought we were talking about the Uniqlo pleated ones! No, even the 31” ‘long’ Uniqlo ones are only good with flats.

I think they are just a bit mumsy nowadays

Don't care. I love mine , I'm 56 Confused

HUSH easy trousers are my go to for work away days. Elasticated waist, comfy and look good :) always worth a look on vinted.

Did a similar search myself and found these in a Bershka store. They come in black too and when I say the material is THE SOFTEST EVER. It’s lovely. Really reasonable - I love them. They are long - I’m 5ft 4” and they brush the floor but they’re okay with chunky soles

And long enough for 5 ft 8 in

I've got 3 pairs and had compliments wearing them

Seas164 · 31/08/2024 22:21

Currently wearing these to death, have a similar dark grey pair too, nice fabric although I don't usually like Zara for trousers, these are good.

And too short for anyone who needs a longer leg length than 29 inches.

Primark?

Not true

My leg length is 29 inch and I have to roll them up several inches

Interesting.
None of the shops I have tried them on in stock the longer leg lengths.

Baxdream · 01/09/2024 08:54

I'd find some well fitted wide leg joggers. Wear with a simple T-shirt, trainers and a Mac. Super comfortable and looks great too

Can't believe we're so far into the thread and nobody has asked WHICH TRAINERS? Shock

Wheredidlifego · 01/09/2024 14:13

I love my Livvy trousers from Hollister and currently have my eyes on these Abercrombie

These are my favourite pants at the moment but looks like they only have a range of sizes in the light colour (I have the other colours). Love them. They may get more in.

Just ordered way too much from Uniqlo, including two pairs of these thanks to your link haha BlushBlushBlush

Something from Plumo? Like these? They do great slouchy trousers, but £££. Also some in sale. Stone Barrel Pants - Plümo Ltd (plumo.com)

They're hilarious 🤣
