Comfy trousers

I’d like some comfy trousers that wash well and look nicer than tracky bottoms but feel as comfy. I need tall fitting. I’m a size 14.

We are the same height and size! I’ll check out your recommendations, thank you.

That's why I mentioned it! 😄

Hi @Teabagstasher85 my personal choice for smart casual trousers 👖 is:

"Ladies Black Ribbed Trousers" - available in sizes 8 to 26 (depending on seller) and always available in several different inside leg fittings.

There are many many different sellers on both Amazon and eBay selling this type of Trousers. Usually 2 x pairs for £15 to £18 (two pairs for less than £20).

The reasons why I personally love this style are:
● elasticated waist - quick and easy to pull on - no fussy buttons and zips
● extremely comfortable and the flexi stretch fabric helps (a little bit) pull my tummy in
● look much smarter than leggings
● look smart enough to be regular work wear trousers, or posh casual
● go with everything
● extremely hard wearing
● dont fade in the wash like chinos and jeans
● buttons and zips never break as there are none

I bought these after seeing them recommend on another thread the other day. Have only tried on so far but they seem great.

Im 5ft 10 and a 14/16. The 14 long was perfect for me but they do also come in an extra long length. I have a proportionally longer torso so you might need the extra length but I thought the sizing/length was pretty generous

Should also add that i have the nine pine trousers mentioned earlier that i wear for work and they are sooooo comfy. Bit spendy for me generally but they were worth the money. Ive worn them throughout a weight loss journey and they still fit wonderfully as they are so stretchy

Why do they seem to market the clothes for people who are overweight or obese?

Because thats their USP. They design clothes that fit larger bodies well and comfortably.

I love Halara jeans/ work trousers

DrAmanitaPhalloides · 30/12/2025 02:57

Love my Halara waffle trousers, tempted to get the jeans - are they soft? I hate the feel of most denim.

I’ve been living in yoga pants recently

Comfiest jeans ever.
I have some of the elasticated waist and ones with a zip fly and button.
They look as good as they feel too in my opinion, and wash and tumble well.
The cords are also great - warm and comfy.

What's the sizing like with Halara? I hate when two sizes are included. Will a 12 - 14 really fit a 14?

I bought some Daydrift wide leg trousers from Lululemon a couple of weeks ago, they’re my current favourite thing and do a Tall length.

They look like normal trousers but feel like trackies.

I don't know if this is helpful but I'm a size 12 apple shape and the Medium fits me great. I'm sure they'd also fit a 14.

I think I could have gone small in the jeans but the medium work trousers were definitely the best choice for me. I'm 5ft 4, around 9st 8lbs and hold weight around my tummy and hips.

Snag sell clothing patches saying 'choke me'. And they think MN is a toxic cesspool. They will never get a penny from me.

Agree. Normalising perverted, dangerous male sexual fetish as female empowerment. Unbelievable!
