Robell Trousers Help Needed

I could do with some help please from aficionados of Robell trousers.

Having seen them recommended I thought I’d try them and have received a pair of Marie ones today. I was expecting slim fit but not the very slim fit mentioned on the label. They do fit but without a mm to spare around the body and thighs. I ordered my normal size.

So I’m wondering whether this is the way they’re supposed to fit or whether I’ve somehow ended up a very slim fit style instead of just normal slim fit.

I’ll be returning them of course but I want to order more. Any advice on a different style I could try? Bella for instance.

There are loads of websites selling these trousers but information about fit is sorely lacking.

Not an aficionado but have two of the cotton jeans type. I prefer to go up a size as I don’t like them too tight. Very comfortable and good quality, no colour loss in the wash and no bagging.

Robell are a small fit. I always go up a size.

Thank you both. It’s interesting that you both go up a size when the advice on most sites selling them is to go down a size! Thank goodness I didn’t, I’d have been even more disappointed.

I always get the very slim fitting. Maybe they’d stretch when you wear them and just be perfect? As long as you have a long top over, they’d look lovely.

I get the ones with the broad band at the bottom. Bella I think. 7/8 length - fulk length on me. I buy a size smaller. I had some that no longer fitted in different colours when I lost about 10lbs weight. I put them in the tumble dryer for a short time and they shrank just enough.
I like them tight almost like jeggings. But they look fine a little looser. I don't like the fit of the full length ones. I don't think they sit so neatly.
Hope this helps. I love Robell trousers although I think they are a bit light for winter.
