Casual Trousers - but not jeans

[WatermelonKiwi]

It’s that time again when I need to wear long trousers and not shorts. But Im fed up of just wearing jeans and I’m also over my leggings phase.

What kind of casual trousers do other people wear apart from jeans these days?! Help! (And if it makes a difference, I’m in my late 30s!)

I wear wide leg, carrot or straight leg trousers in cotton or wool from Uniqlo, Cos, Albaray and Abercrombie.

Combat trousers? River Island has a nice pair that is very light and has an elasticated waist.

Im a big fan of parachute pants (so like cargos but with a cuffed bottom). Very good in wet weather!

Late 30s here too and my go- to trousers are:

Chinos from Fat Face

Coloured jeans from White Stuff (still jeans I know but I'm wearing a pale pink pair today with a jumper so they do well across summer and colder months too.)

Wide leg cords from Uniqlo.

I got wide legs culottes in cord from fatface yesterday they'll be great for autumn

Oh yes cords. My staple in winter. I have M and S ( surprisingly good) and Cos.

I bought a pair of straight leg pink trousers from next recently, I love them.

Uniqlo cotton trousers. They have an elasticated waist! Bonus.

H&M and Zara both have gorgeous wide leg trousers that I wear with trainers sometimes. You can dress them up and down. Elasticated waist on some too. H&M had brown herringbone ones I just love

I just got some flared cords from M&S in claret - really nice. So many jeans seem to have elastane in them so they go baggy and slide downwards.

Great ideas (I need them too!) any links to help us find them?

I live in straight leg jersey trousers. I need to replace some due to wear and others no longer fit. They've been getting looser in the last few years.

I want trousers I can wear with boots, wide leg just look frumpy with boots. Shout if you see any

Have just recommended these burgundy and khaki barrel leg jeans on another thread. I know you said ‘not jeans’ but the colours make them more like casual trousers rather than jeans.

Oooh these sound great. Where do you get yours?

TBH most of mine come from Primark but sadly I dont think they are in fashion this year (wont stop me wearing them though!).

Following

Where are the khaki ones from please?

@ludders01 They’re from Mint Velvet

Wide legged pants of all kinds from ME+EM, I live in them!

M&S have been doing great wider leg cords. Very good fabrics. I like the heavier winter chinos and I love Poetry for casual trousers. Winter tweed - House of Bruar.
