I saw a woman walking her dog the other day, wearing a pair of brown and black striped wide leg cropped trousers, a really wide vertical stripe with a horizontally-striped section at the bottom. She looked amazing, very effortless and cool, which I would love to emulate!
I went home and searched for the trousers, and fairly quickly found them - Beyond Nine, the Bobbi linen trousers. Way over my budget unfortunately, especially for, in all honesty, a pair of untailored summery trousers that might not wash too well and will definitely need ironed! I'm on more of a supermarket/Primark/Vinted budget... there are some pairs on Vinted but still £60+ and I don't trust Vinted enough to spend more than maybe £25, and then only if it's something I am positive will fit (replacing a certain item etc) and really, really want/need.
A rabbit hole later, I did come across some sort of copies on Amazon. Not the wide stripe, but a gingham co-ord set similar to another Beyond Nine set, within my budget, but mixed reviews on fabric, cut, and fit. I wondered if anyone here might have any experience of these sort of Amazon ones, or recommendations for any other Beyond Nine dupes, preferably somewhere I could go and try on or at least with easy returns? It doesn't have to be a co-ord set, could just be the trousers. Budget-wise, if they were really amazing, I'd go to £40, but can't justify more at the moment.
