Smart trousers with pockets for work that are low rise

6 replies

I might be asking for the moon on a stick... But I need more work trousers that have pockets (ideally deep pockets not token mini pockets as I actually need to put things in, them at work on and off) and look smart.

But I hate anything that comes up above my hips. I end up folding down things that are high rise which works ok with leggings but not with tailored trousers.

I'm also lazy and don't iron things generally, so they can't be linen etc.

And I'm short so even better would be petite / short length. Size 12 normally fits best but sometimes size 10 depending on the brand.

None of the websites let you search by 'low rise with pockets' 😞 and M and s seemed to have nothing.

I don't like fake bling gold plastic clasps etc, basically I think I'm just too fussy!

Anyone have any ideas or brands to look at? Ideally on the cheaper end!

M&S are by far the worst for what you're looking for. They offer short lengths but their waists reach our armpits!!
I have had a lot of success with Hollister and Abercrombie as they offer low and mid rises and three different lengths.

Next usually do good workwear. I have a couple of pairs of their trousers and they're quite low rise.

I also hate high rise.

Weekday have low waisted suiting trousers with pockets. I haven't tried them so no idea about size of pockets.

That's so helpful thanks! Found a pair of the curve love on Abercrombie that you linked in the sale. I'll check out weekday and next too!
