Trouser for a city break

I am searching for a pair of trousers for a city break in Scandinavia in early July. All suggestions welcome!

Something comfortable, ideally with a an elastic or partially elasticated waist. Cool toned but not black or navy. Cropped wide leg or barrel leg. Not 100% linen as I do not plan to do any ironing on holidays. I am 5ft 5, very hourglass shaped, size 14/16. I plan to wear with clogs, teva walking sandals or white low profile trainers. Elastic waist is to avoid waist gapping! I am building a quality capsule wardrobe so happy to spend up to £250 for a good quality trouser that will last. I would like this to be a smart piece which can be dressed up or down.

Considering Sweaty Betty barrel explorers in mineral beige but not sure if they look too much like joggers? Also I’m not terribly keen on high pleats as conscious of my very wide hips. www.sweatybetty.com/eu/shop/bottoms/trousers/explorer-barrel-leg-trousers-5059121997794.html?glCountry=IE&glCurrency=EUR&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21924524548&gbraid=0AAAAA9gu6CsxlWkENAlaoChZpnadeE1K_&gclid=CjwKCAjw3MXBBhAzEiwA0vLXQRd22wUG0YUoMUWqnFrJZqiTF_Kg-PpMozWoc6Xxrxidmrk1TpmsQRoCWkoQAvD_BwE

I ordered and sent the Sweaty Betty ones back, I was expecting to love them but they looked cheap and the fit wasn’t good.

have you tried Beyond Nine? I got a pair of Huxley and love them, they also don’t need ironing.

Yep, as a result of this thread I ordered the Sweaty Betty ones, I am sending them back, they seem like a pair of mens golfing slacks, I am short though, they look great on the model

I’ve ordered the Uniqlo pair everyone is raving about and on impulse ordered a pair of cropped palazzo pants from Baukjen. Will report back
