Comfortable cotton crops

Has anyone any recommendations for cotton crops with a comfortable waist? I don’t want to pay a lot for linen ones - just something fairly forgiving to wear over summer (long may the sun continue).

Weird fish have some nice ones in the sale, think they go up to size 18.

I just bought some from Matalan. Plain cotton, very comfortable at the elasticated waist. I think they were about £10. Just size down as they are very roomy!

Have a look at these.
I bought a top from them. The quality is good. I'm thinking seriously about buying some of their trousers.

I’ve actually bought more from Matalan over the past year than any other shop. Their sportswear is really good and I seem to get a lot of clothes for very little money.

Magic! They're lovely. Good to have a reccomendation. There are so many not-so-good brands out there.

Please don't take offence Lucca but I would never have put you in these - on GN you build up a picture of people in your head. I had you in suits & formal gear! ?

Ta. Didn’t notice the different colour printing due to smeary glasses!

Don’t like the patterned ones for sure!! And the fit looks very unflattering.

Suits and formal gear ?? No way . Jeans, tunics, Zara dresses, linen crops.
Wow I’m worried now.

Brax.

They do all sorts good quality and incredibly comfortable.

I have two pairs of cropped in a lovely yellow and mint green . Both elasticated waist. But all their trousers are good.

Not what I would have understood by “crops” or cropped trousers, these remind me of those awful Bermuda shorts that you only looked good in with legs up to your armpits (and rarely even then)
Certainly not for 60+ aged knees!

Thanks for the link MiniMoon I had no idea what a cotton crop was, now educated! Not for me though, I’m either shorts or jeans.

Cotton Traders too

By crops I mean mid calf.

Shorts are between mid thigh and knee.

By 7/8ths are above ankle trousers

Long -traditional length.

Minimoon - thanks for link they look ideal for me.

And Pedal Pushers?
My late mother used to have very strong views on pedal pushers?

Largolass Sat 05-Jun-21 09:33:35

Both Robell and Roman have cotton crops in lots of lovely summery colours

Whitewavemark2 Sat 05-Jun-21 09:37:26

Capris - Mid calf to just below the knee?

Pedal pushers long crops?

Must get on I have my DDs 50th birthday party to get ready????
