A dupe for these Me & Em trousers, please?

[WhoStoleYourHighHorse]

Really like these but way over my budget - can anyone recommend anything similar, preferably under about £80. Thanks

These?

@Overtheatlantic , I like the look of them but I wonder if they might be a little bit more dressy/formal than the Me & Em’s. I think I am looking for something that I can wear everyday in a casual to formal way.

I've got some pull on M&S ponte trousers very like the Me+Em ones, but costing about £25. I wear them to work and they look smart enough.

@AnnaQuayInTheUk , do you have a link for them by any chance - the M&S is a nightmare!

Do they need to be black? same trousers in navy (very dark it seems) in sale for £95.
If you really like them I'd stretch the budget for £15 and buy what you like and will enjoy. I've never had ME+EM, it's above my budget for the items I need as well, but been to stores several times and quality seems to be really good.
Navy is very versatile and might work even better than black.

Have you looked on vinted? I picked up a lovely ME + EM dress for only £30!

I haven’t tried these, but may be similar- and on sale-Baukjen ponte trousers
I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

but to be honest the Me+Em likely to be a great cut and flattering. Just v expensive so the Baukjen probably worth a try.

Zara does a pair like that.

I think these are the same, slightly more expensive than I thought.https://www.marksandspencer.com/ponte-utility-wide-leg-trousers/p/clp60627095?color=BLACK&_gl=1su8zdi_upMQ.._gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzpbULwqDWBLTiEB9gXC1f5T2mbmfKFOajktaYjB8GEmOSO90J3H3xAaAoEVEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

These Zara trousers are my go to, I have them in lots of colours https://www.zara.com/uk/en/high-waist-trousers-p09929132.html?v1=435685522

Those are just standard smart black trousers you’d wear in the office. Check out Next, supermarkets etc.

Other Stories has this type of trousers

A 26.5" leg will look positively cropped on me. Had the measurement been 29" I'd have ordered them. They look fantastic.

These are similarish, and Boden Highgate trousers are similar too, although maybe a bit
more structured.

@WhoStoleYourHighHorse these, black only available in size 20 though

I have some almost
identical from Roman

Next do a smoothing trouser but I had a look and they currently only have a wide leg style. I can next make next links work but if you search smoothing.

Also just basic black trousers from M&S which are comfy and versatile

and finery ones

I've got both the Me+Em and the M&S ones. All good.

Those are the ones I was referring to as well!

If I already had £80, I'd wait until I could afford the ones I wanted rather than buy something that's not quite the same.

M and S used to do quite good 7/8 length trousers but I haven't been in for a while so not sure what their current range is.
They do ankle grazer trousers if they would work, and they also do Jaeger pure wool ankle grazers, bit more spendy though.

I haven't tried them, and don't think the shape is as nice as the me & em, but I spotted these the other day whilst looking for travelling trousers.

I actually went for these in the end, which I love, but might be too casual for what you're wanting

Baukjen usually do a few pairs of pull on smart black trousers

These from M&S?
