Beige Capri trousers - smart

8 replies

MichaelandKirk · 26/04/2025 18:27

Really struggling with finding something. I am a small size 10. Normally wear black trousers but for the summer thinking of trying beige or similar (still wearing dark on top half!).

Will wear them to smartish places. I like Resiss or similar and definitely not wide legged. Slim if possible would consider linen providing it’s doesn’t look like I have slept in them. Some people look fab in linen but I am not necessarily one of them. Don’t mind giving them a quick iron. The sort of trousers Jackie Onassis used to wear.

Has any one any ideas please?

I don't do cropped trousers, but do wear chinos in the summer. I usually go for a colour like olive, stone or a light blue.

I'd try Boden, M&S, Joules or Uniqlo.

(I wear Gap Khakis from 'shopping my wardrobe'. I don't care if they're fashionable, I like them.)

I think it’s more cigarette shape trousers that you are looking for rather then capris. Perhaps search that term or taper cropped trousers and you will hopefully find what you’re looking for

Here are photos of JKO in capri pants, and of BB and AH in capri pants. Which style are you looking for @MichaelandKirk ?

Ro an sell capri pants. If you really want a pair check how low they go. They should not end at the widest part of your calf.

These are very comfortable: Robell Cropped Trousers - Women's Capri Trousers | So Simply

They are sort of aimed at more mature women, but don't let that put you off.

Thank you all. I think I probably do mean cigarette trousers. Everything at present seems to be wide legged which makes me look ridiculous. What sort of shape does wide legged flatter?

Out and about today, I noticed quite a few wearing wide-legged trousers, and they looked OK. I'm not long of leg, and am an inverted triangle, and there's no way I'm wearing them.

I’m guessing you mean a side zip tapered trouser that ends just above the ankle. These are my go to summer trousers. I can’t find any that suit this year. I’d try Vinted.
