Trousers

[bitchstewie]

I need some new work trousers, nothing special just something that can be worn with a work shirt and that is a reasonable mix between hard wearing but not looking like they cost a tenner.

All I have locally is M&S and Matalan so I'm looking online.

Any suggestions on where to look for something where the price reflects what you get i.e. not paying £50 for something worth £20 but being made to feel you got a bargain as they're on perpetual "reduced from £100".

I usually get my work trouser/ chinos from burtons, decent value and a few different styles to choose from.

Surely M+S is de rigueur for such a situation?

Jeans from Levi's, work trousers from M+S, suit trousers from Lewins.

M&S. Their better ones (£40-50) are machine washable and have permanent creases, so they always look smart and are easy to iron.

M&S are ok as I already have a few, simply checking as it's still an hour or so out the way

Similar question on shirts - Harvie & Hudson are what I mostly have but they do seem to have gone up quite a bit on price since I last purchased some - and again plenty of places selling ten quid crap for £30 making you think you have a bargain because it's reduced from £50

Again, better M&S non-iron shirts c.£30 are great day-to-day work staples.

As said, M&S trousers are good. So are their socks.

I do like Charles Tyrwhitt for shirts but you do need to go into one at least once to get properly measured and try some on so you can choose neck, arm, normal, slim, or extra slim. Then you can get them delivered. But M&S shirts are fine too.

"Non iron" are good. They definitely look better ironed, but it is easier to do.

[V8mate]

Quite. I've never had a non-iron shirt which didn't need ironing.
