Forgiving trousers?

Is it just me that hates linen? Looks so scruffy after you’ve sat down or worn a seatbelt.

Euphoria boutique online have a fantastic range of crops and joggers. All of them have pajama tie waists, and are cool and comfortable. Nice, roomy pockets.

Their "Alice" joggers in Standard have a 13.5" rise length, if that's the right term for waist to gusset, and 26" inside leg.
On my friend who's 6'3", they come to knee/calf; on shorthouse me (5'2"), they're ankle length, and can be rolled up and stay put.

Cotton Traders, wide stretch waistband , 3 lengths not see through, about £30 true to size

I’ve just found Shein website fabulous clothes really cheap, and they have a curvey collection order loads from them and sizing accurate too love them!

I've just bought some trousers, they're lovely and comfortable, linen, wide leg, elasticated waist one in natural and one in a very subtle light green ,£17.99 from H&M

Lands end do good ones. MY50 code gives a 50%discount until 17thJune

Try Uniqlo. Excellent quality and they wear fantastically well.

Different styles/cuts around £25.00, sometimes 'on offer' for less.

I have many pairs of their trousers in varying weights/materials and almost all are pull on but have front flies, so they don't look babyish/old womanish!

these look nice

Uniqlo I’ve bought several pairs and they’ve been brilliant. Also they only cost about £13 . Can’t remember exactly as I went into a buying frenzy.

This post resonates with me! I have spent the morning trying on my shorts, trousers and tops. The majority are too tight and are in the charity bag. As I've got older I eat less, yet keep getting fatter round my middle.

Women of a certain age and size do not look their best in trousers. I am sure that a lot of women don’t look in a mirror at their back view. A dress is more cooling in hot weather.

I have Poetry linen trousers this Summer, wide leg and cropped, black and white. Their linen is a slightly heavier weight and disguises any wobble from lockdown indulgence.

I’m so glad other GNs have had the dreaded shrinking trouser problem. In this house it seems to be spreading, I just unpacked my summer clothes and ALL my t-shirts and tops have shrunk too.
Now to try on the swimming costume - but first, I feel, a morale-boosting G&T is called for...

Am I the only person to avoid linen trousers because they become limp and crease so easily ?

These: bought 2 pairs. Love them, don’t even realise I’m wearing them!!

Also don’t be put off by the fabric description, they are very lightweight and feel like cotton.

GraceQuirrel and Rowyn, I so agree with you. Linen is an awful fabric that always looked creased.

I’m also looking for COTTON trousers, which are hard to find. The replies seem to be about linen trousers. Has anyone found some cotton ones?

I'm also trying to ditch trousers for dresses and these are far more forgiving. Just had a couple from Boden, reasonable price and very comfy to wear. Much cooler in this weather too.

Next, M&S, Wallis all do really nice Harem/joggers, really comfy, and trendy and lovely colours and patterns.

I discovered magic trousers (google them) they are the most fantastically comfortable trousers for all ages. I’m 55 and have so many pairs in different colours and designs long and cropped. I do have to wear a longer looser top with them because 1.5 stone caught up with me during lockdown!! ? even without the 1.5 extra stone I would still wear them for the comfort value and how lovely they look

Linen is lovely. It’s cool and light and meant to crumple.
Now is the time to ditch the joggers.
Trousers with elastic waist (all or part) - Biden and Hush for me.

Should any ladies of varying sizes need a skirt, try skirtfanatic.com from Totnes. Reversible, many adjustable sizes, and good cotton. 2 patterns per skirt and different lengths. Also reasonably priced. Recommended.

K j Brand do some lovely lightweight seersucker trousers for summer also simply robbell loads of different colours and all with elastic waistbands

Hmmm. Not my experience of Shein ! Poor fabric.
