Non frumpy pull on trousers.

[baftaagain]

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

Aged 70, short, size 14.

Thanks!

Whistles also has this style in five colours in petite, in a cotton-mix twill. £99 right now, but their sales will be along soon.

I've ordered these, Thanks. I already something of a barrel but we'll see!

@EleanorMc67 yes but maybe a young trendy Art teacher?!

I've put on weight recently and needed so comfortable trousers while I try and get on top of it. I got some from Halara. I got two pairs of jeans, some for work and some flared leggings and I'm really pleased with them. They're so comfortable.

Well, since menopause my waistline is a thing of the past, so I'm closer to barrel-shaped than I'd like around my middle!

Maybe Odalisque in a Turkish Harem might be an alternative to Short Dishevelled Art Teacher? (I love balloon trousers, but realise they're not for everyone!)

Halara is best avoided, unless you're also fine with shopping at Shein.

I think barrels need to be worn with fitted tees, but my waist has disappeared so I can't do tight fitting tops.

Mine has too, but I discovered that Kemi Telford skirts (deep tight-fitting elasticated waistbands) give me the appearance of a waist when worn with a fitted T-shirt! As they're worn quite high so they sit on your narrowest part.

So I extended that principle to elasticated trousers - if the waist is highish & deep, it doesn't cut into you but creates the impression of a waistline. Saying that, I generally wear mine with short (not cropped), neat (but not fitted) jumpers that sit just below the waist but above the hip.

I do think (boring & tedious though it is!) that, by trying on lots of brands & styles & cuts, & experimenting with how to wear them, you can find something to suit you.

Was coming to say that! Or other gymwear brands- you can get different styles and some aren't obviously sporty.
