These trousers are great. Very flattering !

I hope so. I am short and stubby though, so things look different than on a model!

@atriskacademic I have the attached cotton rich trousers with stretch from M& S. I don’t think you can really get fully “pull you in” trousers in a summer weight fabric. These are well cut and do a good job without being heavy. Wear firm undies!

Strechy and black is always going to be warm though!

These are my smart black summer work trousers. Don’t laugh that they are Lucy & Yak. They are easy to dress up. The waist is quite high, easily covered by a smart top. Very cool a comfortable. Loose rather than stretchy. I wear them rolled down with loafers.

I’m a 50 something size 16.

Alexa - Cotton Trousers in Black

Alexa, find me the perfect pair of trousers. Super-comfy, fun and floaty, in black, with a big-hips shape that gives your thighs room to do their thing. Boom!

I have these in black, charcoal and light grey. They are so comfortable, very stretchy and can be worn with heels or trainers.

I just bought these and they are lovely! Very flattering, nice flat waistband and not too wide legged. They’re not exactly summer weight but I wore them in the heatwave the other day and they were very comfortable
