Adventurous trousers.

[Gettingbysomehow]

Morning all. I need some adventurous trousers but cant decide what. Im bored with jeans.
There is a staff outing in December and Id like to wear them then.
I dont like ankle flappers and they dont suit me so Im looking for full length maybe with an interesting pattern for a change. Check? Tartan? Whats "in" in trousers?

Oh. I came ready to discuss hiking gear....

😂

I think you’ve found a gap in the market OP! Like when Rachel’s sister in Friends invented “ apartment pants”.

I love the idea of adventurous trousers! David Bowie's would fit the bill.
Bowie trousers

And thank heavens she did, I think of that scene every time I wear my Saint and Sofia apartment pants 😂 they are some of my favourite trousers!

op I can’t stand trousers flapping about my ankles either but I’m not into prints either, I have some nice wide leg khaki green double pleat fronted trousers from I think nobody’s child a while ago, and some navy cords which are slightly flared. But I can’t do prints.

I don't do printed trousers but I did just buy some "volume trousers" from Uniqlo
I was so impressed I bought thm in another colour as well
Not sure how adventurous they are though

I call them 'magnificent trousers'. I have some from Zara, Stradivarius, Bershka etc, some in an interesting fabric, many with a wrap over front or volume pleat detail, some satin with a cuffed hem etc. I have lost a lot of weight and could never wear trousers before - now I am becoming known at work for my interesting trouser choices!

Size? Height? Budget?

Staff outing context?

New or preowned?

Are you actually going to buy something from Phase Eight in the end?

Possibly too adventurous for a 64 year old 😂

Im size 8 to 10, 31 inch inside leg 5 foot 2 and a half.
I've got a compressed spinal cord which doesn't give me any trouble so have long legs and a short body.
I'm going to look at Zara again I think.
ebay is also good.

Adventure trousers?

Obviously you should be looking at parachute pants.

Boden have some nice stripes and checks - and some very adventurous floral velvet ones https://www.boden.com/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&page=1&q=patterned+trousers

adventurous trousers for you @Gettingbysomehow

I like harem pants - they are often patterned and they are elasticated at the ankle. Not sure if they are fashionable or not but they are usually available to purchase.

Lucy & Yak?

Have a look at Cos. Much of what they do is slightly quirky, and it’s quite varied.

La Veste do interesting trousers.

Essentiel antwerp also might be a good shout.

You can find examples on Vinted but they go quickly.

Sounds like a name for a band.

OMG 😐

I live in Glastonbury I wear them in summer but they dont do a thermal version sadly.

You did say no jeans. I have harem pants too but find they are a bit too warm in summer and too summery in cooler months.

I like plaid trousers like these from Zara

Uniqlo. I’m obsessed. £34.99 for the most comfortable, flattering jersey mix trousers which are lovely dressed up with boots or down with trainers.

have bought 3 pairs so far and will happily buy in every colour. Am going to live in them for work

I have several pairs of “snazzy” trousers from boden. They are bright colours with massive prints but they only tend to do them in the summer (maybe look up Richmond print trousers on vinted). But how about https://www.boden.com/products/women-canonbury-velvet-trousers-multi-jewelled-bunch-r1026mix

Wonder slacks!
