Flairs that aren’t denim but are still durable

I’m looking for a nice pair of flairs that aren’t jeans or leggings type material. Not joggers. More like a walking trouser material, like slightly elasticated and with all the pockets of jeans (but not combat style). Also need them to be petite. Short leg. Does such a trouser exist or am I too fussy? Would appreciate any links anyone has. Thanks!

I used to have some in the 80s that were so comfy and quite flattering but I’m not sure they make them with this round of flairs.

Thanks they certainly tick a lot of boxes. I’ll probably get some as I really like them and they do petite. The ones I’m after are for travelling in a warm country though so I think the cord would be too heavy for that. Really nice trousers though thanks for the link.

Has anyone used Halara? Are they as good as they promise? Someone on one of their adverts said go down a size? Anyone any experience please?

I keep seeing adverts for Halara trousers so they are definitely good at marketing!

Halara are jeggings and they are really shit.

I got these exact ones in store recently. They are lovely. However I needed the short length to be able to wear with flats, and I am 5’6”! Granted, with a long torso but I usually buy regular. All the m&/ jeans were so long.

Thanks all. I’ll stay away from Halara.
