Laura Ashley had some not bad ones but too short (am 5 7).
Betty Jackson in Debenhams nice but again a bit short.

Anyone??

M&S did have some in, in 3 lengths I think

JANEITEisntErudite · 14/11/2009 21:09

These look nice but bloomin' expensive.

Is it me or do all the trousers on the Hobbs site look stupidly short on the models?

I have some lovely grey ones from M&S but they are a few years old now and I've never seen such nice ones again.

moondog · 14/11/2009 21:09

Really?
I looked in briefly but was frightened off by Footglove shoes and Per Una.

kew?

JANEITEisntErudite · 14/11/2009 21:13

can't see what fabric they are and not sure about them

JANEITEisntErudite · 14/11/2009 21:14

I remembered that you like Hobbs (stalker emoticon). There's no way I could pay that much for a pair of trousers though - and they are all too long for me anyway.

MarthaFarquhar · 14/11/2009 21:14

nicer

duckyfuzz · 14/11/2009 21:14

I never go in to M&S (apart from food bit) its far too scary, but online is okhere might not be smart enough though

JANEITEisntErudite · 14/11/2009 21:16

Yum to the Jigsaw ones - gosh I wish I was tall enough to wear an outfit like that.

Stylelostinlabour · 14/11/2009 21:17

Have a look in Gap they have grey and black last week.

Also Great Plains have some as well

moondog · 14/11/2009 21:18

It's hard to get trousers right without trying on isn't it (and I have no time to shop).
I want that heavy well finished look.
Have morbid fear of that cheap black trouser look teamed with those fake shirt/tank top combo. beloved by British admin. assistants.
