Just found the perfect work trousers

Literally so made up about these I thought I would share on here. I like them so much, I’ve bought two pairs. They are the Grace Black Ponte Tapered Trouser from Fatface. The material feels like it’s good quality and they are slightly tapered at the bottom. They are structured but with a bit of give in them. They are very smart, but so comfy. I’m 5 ft 4 and the regular length is perfect on me. I tried on a size 10 in store and they were on the baggy side and looked too big. So I ordered down a size 8 online and that was perfect. For reference, I’m a 10 in Hobbs, and an 8 in Crewe.

I’ve put on a few pounds over the last few years and due to past issues with ED as a teen and in my 20s am self conscious about what I look like in clothes, but these are really flattering on.

Thanks! Ive ordered one pair, they look fab and i needed a new pair 😊

I wore them to work today. They were so comfy. I hope they do this style in other colours. A navy would be nice.

They look nice. Im very disappointed they only do them in black. (I dont care for black)

RampantIvy · 06/10/2025 19:30

Ooh, nice.

I have a similar pair in navy (Hobbs). I do like this style, but I'm never sure how to wear them when it is too cold for bare ankles.

I know it wasn’t super cold today, but I wore mine with pop socks in tights material, and a pair of flat square toed pumps. I don’t think they would work with boots unfortunately.

Bit blah imo. Tapered trousers aren’t exactly ‘in’. I know that doesn’t matter, but I like to follow fashion.

Have you had a bad day?

but why does that need involve you crapping on OP.

How is it crapping? They’re not ‘perfect’ work trousers imo as the style is dated.

It’s just an opinion.

Trends come and go, but looking good and feeling comfortable never really go out of style. I’ll leave the five-minute fads to the fashion crowd. These actually flatter and fit properly, which is more than I can say for half the “in” stuff out there. 😘

@Darner don't be so smug.

Some of us want to buy items which will last for years rather than participate in fast fashion where items last for one season max
