Finding a nice pair of cropped trousers?

Yes, Percy Thrower's, Shrewsbury (Blue Diamond) do have a lovely clothes department.

My very stylish cousin has mentioned Blue Diamond fsvourably.

I'm not usually bothered about fashion, preferring 'outdoorsey' or hiking stuff but found some quite comfortable looking clothes in Percy Thrower Garden Centre (or any other Blue Diamond garden centres). The fashion name is Cerulean and think it's aimed at mature and older ladies - lots of the clothes are loose and stretchy and I even bought a pair of capris! They did have quite a few cropped trousers

that's very funny !!!!

Oh WHY? They like "barrel leg jeans" look horrific on most women.

Sorry - simply my opinion.

I've never shopped in Roman, but just looked them up and they are a UK company started in 1957.
I will go there on my next visit to a local town. I have seen pretty dresses advertised on Facebook so will look at them and their cropped trousers.

Another vote for Roman! I do not like the cropped wide legs ones and think they just look as if they were trousers that have shrunk. I much prefer tighter legs, ie capris or pedal pushers. This year I bought a white pair of pedal pushers or long shorts to cover my fat knees and also a very comfortable cropped navy pair with a striped turn-up - both from Roman. Good luck!

A huge thank you to everyone. I am going to take a look at all the suggestions and Roman looks promising.

Roman sell them with a good selection of colours. I've bought a few and they are a good fit, nice material and wash well.

Thank you for this. Please could you tell me if they are similar in sizing to M & S. I am an M & S 14-16. I have already seen a nice pair of blue ones which look perfect.

The secret with cropped trousers is that they finish at the slimmest part of your lower leg , which could just below . your knees or as your lower leg slims down to your ankles . Also if you have a wide leg pair, team them with a slimmer , slightly cropped top . With slim fit capris you can have a floaty longer top half. Hope that makes sense .

Well, if you're short'n'fat, like moi, you will look like a bizarre cousin of Billy Bunter.

Capris are on trend this year so you shouldn’t have any problems finding them.

I have been buying organic cotton ones from either Sea Salt or Thought. They are very comfortable and come in nice colours.

They are everywhere. From Monsoon to Shien & Temu, Amazon, eBay, Debenhams, Cotton Traders.
