Black work trousers (active job)

12 replies

Beebopwasthebest · 22/01/2025 20:17

I'm 5'7", size 12 and work with animals and I crouch and kneel a lot. I need smart black trousers. I could wear black jeans but they are quite heavy and restrictive. I don't like combat style with pockets...scrubs wear through on the knee

I am thinking maybe some walking trousers but they are often baggy with lots of pockets and I'd like to try look a bit stylish. I used to have a pair of skinny stretch cords which worked well but I can't find similar again

Does anyone have these "unicorn" trousers?

Decent leggings and waterproof leggings or dungarees over.

I have an active job where I need reasonably smart trousers too, I got these https://www.temu.com/goods.html?bggfs=1&goodsid=601099563321576&skuuid=17592406186263&xxsessnid=g9c74frw6b&referrpagename=bgttorderdetail&referrpageid=1004551737578924864vny2earikr&referrpage_sn=100
Had them since September and no signs of wear, budget friendly but surprisingly good quality

Have you tried Melyrflex? They are amazing, super stretchy and lightweight, the waistband feels like your favourite gym leggings, so they're comfortable all day (I sit at a desk for 8 hours) and can confirm they don't dig in at all! www.melyr.co.uk/products/sienna-black

Saint and sofia. Best black trousers I have ever bought for quality and stretch (runway or apartment pants)
