Non frumpy pull on trousers.

[baftaagain]

Do they exist? Just something warmish, easy, plain, reasonably flattering.

Aged 70, short, size 14.

Thanks!

Lucy and Yak have lots. The model for this pair is 5"9, so they'd probably be close to full length on someone shorter! Chuck - Organic Corduroy Wide Leg Trousers in Rust – Lucy & Yak. They also come in a variety of colours.

Thanks, I just don't think I have the chutzpah to wear these.

Think dishevelled short Art Teacher type.

Have a look at Sweaty Betty’s sand wash wide leg trousers - they’re fab, I have several pairs as they’re soft, thick, good quality material, comfortable and really flattering. Some of the colour options are on sale (they’re a bit pricey otherwise!)

Rather than trousers, look at joggers. H and M have lots and lots. Wide leg, straight leg etc. £12.99 ish. I live in them.

I have these from Uniqlo

sold as lounge wear but smarter than I expected. V comfortable. Going to use them for travelling.

Marks and Spencer plain jersey wide leg?

Wondered about these as an option.

Have a look at Halara.

These look brill but as a shortie I prefer not to be flat to the floor ie trainers.

I find combat styles from M&S really comfy. Not pull-on as such, but high-waisted with plenty of room in the zip / tummy area, and good bum space too. They look smart-ish too, which helps! So easy to wear.

Nice tip!

Marking. Most of the M and S and Uniqlo ones look like joggers I'd wear to Tesco. Not smart.

I get these. They look smart come in wide and straight. I dont do hard waistbands.

Have a look at Rew. Most of their styles work well for the ‘shorter legged’ and they are happy to shorten them further if required.

It's that half way house isn't it? Comfort "flattering" don't look like pyjamas.

Have a look at Motherhood Goods, Le Bon Shoppe, So Satsuma and Toast.

Beyond Nine sell loads of gorgeous pull on trousers

Also Saharah

Take a look at TKMaxx

I am familiar with Toast, lovely but way out of my ptice range. Beyond 9 look good too.

The Lucy & Yak ones? I thought they were made especially for "dishevelled, short Art Teacher types"!!*

Joking aside, you might be surprised by some of the barrel-style trousers out there. I don't have any from there, but I do have some from Arket, COS, Toast & Me+Em. Those brands may cut a bit long for you (I'm 5' 9"), but I'd advise trying a few brands & looking at barrel/loose tapered styles that aren't too exaggerated.

They're not always labelled as pull-on - they could be described as elasticated, drawstring, or it might not even be specified so you'll have to look at the details in the description. There are also lots that have a flat front with an elasticated back.

*Seems to be a bit of a(n uncomplimentary) cliché on MN. My art teacher was very cool!

I can't do barrel either as I look like a pirate. I can do wide leg.

These ones from Whistles might be worth trying. They're in a petite length & in the sale.

I think you just need to find the right barrel leg? Not the really extreme kind?
