I need smarter trousers with an elasticated waist.

[CharlotteCChapel]

I live in Jersey trousers like yoga pants. I want a slightly smarter pair to wear with dressier tops.

I normally wear a size 16 and hate jeans.

I'm also leggy so anything under a 32" would be too short. I'd also like something that's not grey or black.

Ignore!

Try M&S or COS.

Was pleasantly surprised by halara recently. Jogger level comfort but look smarter

Hollister Livvy trousers are very flattering.

H& M

I’ve been eyeing up some of these from Finery - the mirabel caught my eye but they have full length too.

Uniqlo. Their wide leg trousers have a flat front with elastic inside so you can adjust them. They’re brilliant.

I follow this creator on YouTube and she (5-10, size 18) posts gorgeous really comfy outfits. The trousers she has here might be good - link in her comments

Don’t know if that link worked. Her name is Mollie Campsie, look at her shorts - she does lots of outfits like this

Ninepine are great and do different leg lengths.

Look at Ninepines.

No help but also in the same boat so watching with interest.

I've been quite pleased with the Saint and Sofia 'Runway pants' for this sort of thing - soft and pull on, but look smarter. They are still fairly unstructured, though, so I'm also browsing this thread for something a little more structured for a couple of outfits, as with loose jersey tops, I think I look a little baggy overall with these! But for comfort, whilst looking a bit smarter, they have been good.

They come in three leg lengths as well.

Toast 'Alix' - flat front, elasticated back, nice shape (I wore them at size 16 and they were great)

These M&S trousers are elasticated waist and a smart fabric. They come in longer lengths. If they are out of stock in your chosen size and colour, set up the notification as they are regularly restocked (they have been a stock style for several years). https://www.marksandspencer.com/wide-leg-trousers/p/clp60506507?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip41g4r2c4 www.marksandspencer.com/wide-leg-trousers/p/clp60506507?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip41g4r2c4]]]]

I’ve just sold some on vinted that were smart Th an elasticated waist. They are still on the M&S website
